In 2006, he was named by Texas Monthly and Law & Politics magazines, among Texas Super Lawyers, an honor accorded to only five percent of all Texas attorneys. He has disposed of more than 3,000 felony and misdemeanor criminal cases at the state and federal level (everything from white collar crimes, such as bank fraud and land fraud, to possession and delivery of narcotics, murder, sexual assault, indecency with a child, and all major felonies at the state level). In Mr. Phillips’ career, spanning more than 25 years, he has tried more than 200 jury trials cases (both felony and misdemeanor), including capital murder, sexual assault, DWI, indecency with a child, and possession/delivery of drugs (controlled substances).
