Mr. Phillips believes protecting your legal rights are first and foremost and the reason you hire us. Gary saw the need for a specialized area in the practice for handling cases which involved significant injuries. Gary developed the SIG Team, a very elite group of experienced professionals to handle only those cases that involve extremely serious personal injuries. Attorney, Henry Hester, is a certified specialist in wrongful death and serious injury and an intricate part of the SIG Team. Mr. Hester has been taking cases through the litigation process at Phillips and Lyon for over 20 years and his expertise in personal injury and wrongful death is invaluable in the courtroom as well as his relationship within the legal community. Additional members of the SIG Team include an experienced in-house investigator and three paralegals with combined personal injury experience totaling over 60 years. We also hire industry professionals such as registered nurses, economists and accident reconstructionists. These professionals play a key role in bringing a case to a successful resolution. Mr. Phillips believes it is crucial to build a personal relationship and repore with each client, therefore he takes most new client phone calls personally and insists each of his clients speak personally with a member of the SIG Team who is familiar with their case.
