Phillips Law Group reviews now number in the thousands — the product of more than three decades in which Jeffrey L. Phillips built a consumer-injury practice on a simple proposition: treat every client like family, invest relentlessly in people and technology, and never leave anyone in the dark. The result: over $2 billion recovered and 185,000+ Arizonans served.

In a market crowded with personal-injury advertising, Phillips Law Group has done something genuinely difficult: it has scaled to become one of the largest personal injury law firms in Phoenix and across Arizona, while accumulating one of the largest bodies of positive client feedback of any law firm in the state — as reflected in Phillips Law Group reviews across Google and other platforms. Founded by trial lawyer Jeffrey L. Phillips in 1993, the firm has grown from a single Phoenix office into a multi-office operation that, by its own reporting, has served more than 185,000 clients and recovered over $2 billion on their behalf — all while approaching the remarkable milestone of nearly 4,000 five-star Google reviews.
This profile examines how the firm grew, the leadership partnership that drives it, what it does for clients, the technology that sets it apart, and what clients themselves say about the experience of being represented by PLG.
Origin: Three Decades of Consumer Advocacy
Jeffrey L. Phillips is an experienced trial lawyer and the founding partner of Phillips Law Group, as well as the founder of Phillips & Associates and other affiliated firms. Since establishing the practice in 1993, he and his firms have represented well over 150,000 consumer clients across Arizona, California, Utah, and the nation. From the beginning, the firm’s identity has centered on a consumer-first philosophy — representing injured individuals against insurance companies and corporate defendants, on a contingency basis, so that cost is never a barrier to representation.
What distinguishes the firm’s founding story is its consistency. More than thirty years on, Phillips frames the mission in the same terms it began with: to give back to clients and the community, and to keep clients informed at every step. As the firm puts it, “you’ll never be left in the dark with Phillips Law Group” — a deceptively simple promise that, in an industry frequently criticized for poor communication, has become a genuine differentiator.
Leadership: A “Visionary and Integrator” Partnership
Today the firm is led by a partnership that has become something of a case study in law-firm management. Founder Jeffrey Phillips provides the long-term vision; managing attorney Nasser Abujbarah executes it. As Abujbarah frames the relationship, “Jeffrey is the visionary of the firm and my job is to execute that vision.” Phillips, for his part, has called Abujbarah “the unlock I have always looked for at this firm,” describing a partnership built on daily communication, shared goals, and mutual trust.
Abujbarah’s own story mirrors the firm’s ethos. His family immigrated from the Middle East in 1988 and settled in Phoenix, where he has lived ever since. He earned his undergraduate degree from Arizona State University, graduating summa cum laude in Finance, then earned his law degree from ASU’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. He joined the firm as an attorney before rising over sixteen years to oversee the entire operation. In both 2025 and 2026 he was named to AZ Big Media’s list of the Top 100 Lawyers in Arizona, and in 2026 he was named Medium-Size Business Leader of the Year at the Champions of Change Awards. Under this leadership, the firm has set an explicit ambition: to become one of the largest personal-injury firms in the country.
“Nasser has been the unlock I have always looked for at this firm. We speak the same language and our goals are aligned. We both want to provide the best possible service to all our clients while continuing our meteoric expansion.” — Jeffrey L. Phillips, Founder, on his managing attorney
Scale and Reach
From its single original office, Phillips Law Group has expanded to ten locations: eight across Arizona — its Phoenix headquarters plus Mesa, Tucson, Peoria, Avondale, Tempe, Tolleson, and Prescott — along with offices in Salt Lake City, Utah, and New York. (The firm also serves additional Arizona communities, such as Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Flagstaff, and Yuma, from these offices.) The firm describes itself as one of Arizona’s largest consumer law firms, backing its caseload with the kind of infrastructure — in-house investigators, trained paralegals, case managers, and experienced trial attorneys — that allows it to take on insurers and corporate defendants at scale.
Its headquarters is itself a piece of Phoenix landmark architecture: a historic 16-story midtown tower completed in 1981 (formerly CBIZ Plaza), set on three acres with a courtyard of native Southwestern landscaping — a visible signal of the firm’s permanence in the community it was built in.
That scale is reflected in the firm’s reported aggregate impact: beyond the $2 billion recovered and 185,000+ clients served, the firm reports having paid roughly 129,000 medical bills in full and arranged for 110,000 vehicles to be repaired or replaced — figures that translate the abstract idea of “service” into concrete outcomes for injured Arizonans.
What the Firm Handles
Phillips Law Group, a Phoenix car accident attorney and premises liability law firm, focuses on consumer personal-injury matters, with a practice that spans the full range of accident and injury work:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Slip-and-fall and premises liability
- Medical malpractice
- Wrongful death
- Catastrophic and serious injuries
- Defective products
- Workplace injuries, plus certain employment matters (discrimination, wage disputes)
The firm operates on a contingency-fee model — no upfront fees, and clients owe nothing unless the firm recovers on their behalf — and offers free, no-obligation consultations 24 hours a day. It maintains a BBB A+ rating and bilingual service.
Track Record
Over more than thirty years, during which it has also worked as an Arizona wrongful death lawyer and Phoenix motorcycle accident lawyer in many of its highest-value cases, Phillips Law Group reports having recovered more than $2 billion for its clients — a record that includes numerous multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements. Among the representative results the firm publishes on its own verdicts-and-settlements page:
- $23 million — product-liability case involving the drug Vioxx.
- $15.1 million — product-liability case involving Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella.
- $9.6 million — product-liability case involving toxic exposure causing cancer and death.
- $7.65 million — motorcycle accident involving traumatic brain injury and skull fracture.
- $4.5 million — wrongful-death case arising from a motorcycle crash.
The firm has also noted that it played a small role in a landmark $4 billion settlement resolving more than 6,500 claims of childhood sexual abuse in Los Angeles County’s juvenile-detention and foster-care systems. The firm presents these results as evidence of its ability to deliver life-changing outcomes, while being clear — as Arizona’s rules require — that past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
A Technology-Forward Practice
One of the firm’s most distinctive investments is in technology — specifically, a custom, closed-universe case-management and client-communication system built in-house. Rather than relying on off-the-shelf consumer AI tools, the firm designed proprietary software tailored to its own workflows: when anyone logs in, they see a personalized homepage with everything they need. Clients can track all the information about their case, while paralegals and attorneys see what they need to keep matters moving. The firm has deliberately integrated AI and technology into this closed system, with metrics built around client success and timely communication — a direct, technological expression of the firm’s “never leave you in the dark” promise.
In Their Clients’ Words: Phillips Law Group Reviews
Few firms in Arizona can point to a body of client feedback as large as Phillips Law Group’s — approaching 4,000 five-star Google reviews. The testimonials below are drawn from publicly posted Phillips Law Group reviews. A consistent theme runs through them: clients repeatedly name specific paralegals and case managers, describe being kept informed throughout, and emphasize feeling genuinely cared for.
“After my motorcycle accident, I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to turn. The medical bills were piling up, and the insurance company wasn’t treating me fairly. From the very beginning, Phillips Law Group stepped in and fought for me like family. They handled every detail, kept me updated, and made sure I understood the process.” — Verified client review
“I used Phillips and Kathy Hudson was my paralegal. She did a phenomenal job — I wouldn’t want to work with anybody else. She made sure I was taken care of. If I ever need Phillips again I will ask for her directly!” — Client review (Lawyers.com)
Clients frequently single out the firm’s communication — the sense of always knowing where their case stands:
“Most excellent organization! Very professional — they work hard and carry the load that gets dished out from various directions. Cindy Messner, Paralegal, was extraordinary; very communicative and knowledgeable. Kept me well-informed, step by step.” — Client review (Lawyers.com)
“Great law firm. I was really cautious due to a previous experience with injury attorneys. Montana and Nasser were great at making weekly calls and being transparent about my case, and even after receiving my settlement they still called and checked on me.” — Client review (Birdeye)
“Dylan McGurk and Adriana Castellón were absolutely amazing — they handled my case very quickly and got me more money than what I agreed to settle for!” — Verified client review
Beyond the Courtroom: Community Involvement
Phillips Law Group pairs its casework with active community engagement — the goodwill dimension of any serious firm. The firm and its team have volunteered with a range of Arizona nonprofits, including NourishPHX (a Phoenix food and clothing bank), Cloud Covered Streets (serving people experiencing homelessness in Mesa), and Arizona Helping Hands, supporting initiatives such as a mobile-unit launch and a Back-to-School drive. Its leaders also serve as public-safety voices in local media — for example, managing attorney Nasser Abujbarah has appeared on local news discussing the rise in Arizona traffic deaths. For Awesome Attorneys’ purposes, this reinforces the editorial thesis: a firm whose presence in the community extends well beyond its caseload.

For Phoenix Readers: The Arizona Legal Backdrop (General Information)
Because this profile is written for injured Arizonans weighing their options, a precise note on the legal landscape is useful — offered as general information, not legal advice. The deadlines and rules below are governed by specific Arizona statutes, and the details matter, because missing a deadline can permanently bar an otherwise valid claim.
The deadline to sue: generally two years
Under A.R.S. § 12-542, the statute of limitations for most Arizona personal-injury claims — car and truck collisions, motorcycle and pedestrian accidents, slip-and-fall and other premises cases, and negligence claims generally — is two years from the date of injury. For wrongful-death claims, the two-year clock generally runs from the date of death rather than the date of the underlying injury.
Claims against a government entity: a much shorter, two-part deadline
If the claim is against a government entity — for example, a collision with a city bus or a hazard on public property — Arizona imposes a stricter, two-step timeline that is easy to miss. First, under A.R.S. § 12-821.01, an injured person must serve a written Notice of Claim within 180 days of the injury. Critically, that notice is not the same as filing a lawsuit — it is a formal, statutorily-detailed prerequisite, and failing to serve it on time generally bars the claim entirely. Second, under A.R.S. § 12-821, any lawsuit against the government must generally be filed within one year of when the cause of action accrues.
Pure comparative fault: you can recover even if partly to blame
Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule under A.R.S. § 12-2505. An injured person may still recover even if partially at fault, with the award reduced by their assigned percentage of fault — and recovery is possible even if a plaintiff is found up to 99% at fault. (For example, a $100,000 award reduced by 20% fault yields $80,000.) This is more favorable to injured people than the “modified” comparative-fault systems many states use, which bar recovery once a plaintiff crosses 50% or 51% fault. Insurers know this rule well and often work to shift blame onto the injured party — one practical reason claimants engage experienced counsel.
Two Arizona features worth knowing
- No damage caps (in most cases). The Arizona Constitution prohibits caps on compensatory damages in most personal-injury cases — meaning damages for losses such as pain and suffering are generally not statutorily limited, unlike in many other states.
- Medical-malpractice timing. Because Phillips Law Group handles medical-malpractice cases, note that these are governed by the same two-year period (A.R.S. § 12-542) but the “discovery rule” often applies — the clock may start when the injury was, or reasonably should have been, discovered, which can matter when harm is not immediately apparent.
Other exceptions exist — the limitations period for an injured minor is generally tolled (paused) until age 18 under A.R.S. § 12-502, and certain circumstances can pause the clock. This is the backdrop against which a large, Arizona-focused firm like Phillips Law Group operates day to day.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Phillips Law Group is, in the truest sense, an Arizona institution — a firm that has spent more than three decades growing from a single Phoenix office into one of the state’s largest and most recognized consumer-injury practices. Its strengths are substantiated rather than asserted: an enormous and overwhelmingly positive body of Phillips Law Group reviews approaching 4,000 five stars; more than $2 billion reported recovered for 185,000-plus clients; national and Arizona recognition including Best Law Firms in America; a leadership partnership widely profiled for its vision-and-execution model; and a proprietary technology platform built specifically to keep clients informed.
For an injured Arizonan deciding whom to call, the firm’s proposition is clear and well-evidenced: the resources and infrastructure of one of the state’s largest injury firms, a three-decade track record, free 24/7 bilingual consultations, no fee unless they recover, and a culture — echoed across thousands of client reviews — of treating people “like family” and never leaving them in the dark. It is exactly the kind of established, client-first practice that defines an Awesome Attorneys-profiled firm.
