Liars who will make you lose everything as they smile and promise you things to make you open your pocket book more. Truly a case of low class trailer park losers who will exploit your own child just to win. RUN AWAY as fast as you can and find a real attorney. Juliet is the worst. This may seem extreme, but she is horrendous and will jack up her charges to pay for her fancy home. Again... run far away from this duo. ...read more

I was fed up with getting letters from the IRS, yet frightened to do something about it. I contacted this company and so they helped me right away. These folks were my first choice and I am very happy I found them. I have a family to support and a new baby on the way and without them I would not be able to look after them. I am back in line with my State and IRS taxes and don't have back tax debt. If you’re getting IRS letters or you haven’t filed in several years, take my advice and call them! ...read more
The primary talent I bring to the table, I like to think, is strategic thinking. This is what I enjoy, and what I find often enough makes or breaks a case. This sort of thinking is used to figure out why people act as they do, whether their story (or case) makes sense, what weaknesses both cases (for and against) may have, and what actions my client can take to enhance their position. I work hard to create box canyons, where the other side has one main course of action – the course my client wants. I’ve found that this type of thinking has to be coupled with very hard work, as it is looking under rocks that produces results. A good example is a client who received a form feedback letter from an insurance company. Why, we thought, was an insurer’s computer asking for generic feedback, where there had been no claim or activity? Did they just do that randomly? It turned out the client’s ex-spouse had submitted a claim for jewelry that had been allegedly “lost” some time before, received money (which was put into a hidden California account), and the insurer’s computer had some time later sent the feedback letter to my client as she was a co-insured. That lead to a) a recovery for my client for the “lost” jewelry and b) an $8K sanction against the ex-spouse. Another example is a client who had a commercial carpet installer walk off halfway through the job. My client seemed particularly inefficient in finishing up the job, with not nearly enough carpet ‘left over’, and in fact running into a deficit. As there had been an agreed inventory of carpet rolls turned over, my client’s continuing inefficiency just wasn’t making sense. It didn’t make sense for a long time, until we finally counted carpet rolls in the inventory photographs, which turned out not to match up with the rolls reported on the inventory. That produced an over $30K award in my client’s favor (on carpets, and on other over-reported supplies), in a case where my client started out as the defendant. Has this worked? From the other side’s perspective, it would seem so. Many of my best clients are either a) entities once sued by this firm or b) persons who know someone once sued by this firm. I’ve repeatedly represented defendants who have been sued, and who have ended up having a net award in their favor (ie., zeroing out the plaintiff’s case, and succeeding on a counterclaim). One of the rubs of the legal system in America is that it’s expensive. My response to controlling that has been to keep overhead low, and thus my corresponding hourly rate low. That rate is $195/hour, which compares to $250 to $300 per hour in the Vancouver area for attorneys with similar experience levels. I also tend to favor arbitration and mediation, as these are faster venues to an “answer”. Fast translates to less expense for most clients, and gets close enough to the answer that a court based trial may produce. Also, some things aren’t worth the cost of the system. I have often said: “Take the money you’d spend on me, and have a great vacation in Hawaii. At the end of this thing, if you fight, you’ll be in about the same place, minus the vacation.” I presently work in the areas of real estate, business, and Wills (Wills, because they are mostly fun). No divorces. No criminal law. Where I don’t have expertise, I make referrals to attorneys who I believe will be competent and will charge a reasonable fee. It seems popular these days for attorneys to say they are “aggressive”. That’s a term not well suited to me, and if that’s what’s being sought, there are plenty of aggressive attorneys around. I’m on the quiet side, a thinker, and have a motto that says: “Effort is usually rewarded.” I found out about effort hiking the Appalachian trail, which goes from Georgia to Maine, in 2,000+ miles. Hiking it takes three to four months. I did it with my sister’s old backpack, a tarp, mosquito netting, and Red Wing boots. But I could not do it in one gulp. I had to do it a week at a time, one week after the other. I saw many backpackers (some with very fancy and very expensive equipment) who looked at another 1,500 miles to go, and just that prospect was more than they could bear, so they stopped. I managed by thinking – I’m just going for one more week, but tacked week onto week onto week. By the time I reached Maine, I hadn’t stopped. (I learned a lot of things then. For example, in my prime, a 55 pound pack was about my limit, which I thought was something, until I read that the standard GI infantryman regularly carries 80+ pounds. That’s perspective.) So, why Philip Foster? Strategic thinking. Make box canyons. Ask why. Be dogged. Expend the effort. Keep costs contained. ...read more

We stay with you throughout your entire ordeal and you will work with the attorney who has been with you from the beginning of your case CAR/TRUCK ACCIDENT INJURY Frequently, I have clients who are in a second auto or truck accident when they are already under treatment for an earlier accident. Occasionally, one of these clients will go in for a treatment for the first auto accident and neglect to tell the doctor about the second auto accident, or wait a month or two before mentioning the second auto accident to the doctor. The patient might have failed to tell the doctor about the second car accident because the patient didn’t think the second car accident amounted to much, or because the patient was at fault for the second collision. The doctor needs to know about any event that might relate to the area of the body being treated. The doctor is going to look pretty stupid if the doctor’s chart notes do not contemporaneously reflect knowledge about a second personal injury to the same area of the body, which occurred during the treatment for the first car or truck accident. If this happens, the impression will be firmly established that the patient is either hiding something, or that there was no personal injury in the second auto accident, which may turn out to not be the case. Therefore, the rule is that if some event happens while you are under treatment, which causes pain or discomfort of any kind, you need to tell the doctor about it the very next time you go in for a treatment. Another word of advice is that if you have a personal injury claim, do not settle the claim until the extent of your personal injury is known and the condition of your injury has stabilized. It is usually best to wait until you are finished treating. There is no ruder surprise than to settle a personal injury claim with an insurance adjuster and find out later that you needed more treatment at a greater expense than you first thought when you settled. There are a few other things to keep in mind, which involve being represented for an accident injury attorney. Right after an accident, a good insurance adjuster for the at-fault driver will immediately go out and take photos, and get witness statements. Insurance adjusters are trained to make a record and preserve evidence. They often have recorded statements from everyone involved, including you. I cannot tell you how many times I have had an injury accident case come in where the other insurance adjuster took pictures of my client’s car, which was rear-ended but not damaged much, and yet no one seems to have any pictures of the car that did the rear-ending, which was totaled. Your own insurance company invariably doesn’t take those photos because they don’t feel they have to build a case, since you were not at fault. That might do just fine in meeting your insurance company’s needs, but it can turn into a real big problem in the presentation of your personal injury claim against the at-fault party, where the amount of damage to the car is perceived as being very important. So unless you have an experienced personal injury attorney working for you as soon as possible, who knows what they are doing, you might find yourself at quite a disadvantage when it comes time to resolve the claim you have to make. There is not a window of time of unlimited width to marshal evidence for your personal injury claim; these things do not just take care of themselves, and you generally cannot trust your own insurance company to take care of it for you. Your insurance company is only going to find out enough to avoid paying on a personal injury claim. Your insurer is not going to gather the evidence necessary for the presentation of your personal injury claim against another driver. It is evidence that could very well disappear over time. The best way to avoid that happening is to retain an experienced personal injury attorney. Virtually all injury accident attorneys who do that kind of work await payment for their services from the settlement of the injury accident claim. Far too often these matters look very simple until the other insurance carrier wants to settle with you for an unbelievably low sum of money, for reasons that are inexplicable. In these circumstances, it is often the other carrier who is holding all of the cards unless you have also had a skilled personal injury attorney working on your case. People often take it for granted that their injury accident claim will be resolved with the at-fault carrier in a way that is logical. However, your best chance for a fair outcome is to have an accident injury lawyer doing for you what the other insurance company is doing for itself if you want to avoid being taken advantage of. Even if you have had an experienced injury accident attorney looking after your case, some insurance carriers will invariably attempt to take advantage of you anyway. How well the presentation of your personal injury claim has been looked after may well determine whether they can get away with it or not.
