- Mixed Signals in Regards to Most Recent Phoenix Bankruptcy Statistics | Legal News | News Ticker
For years, all of the news regarding the Arizona economy and regarding Arizona bankruptcy issues was negative. It should be seen as somewhat positive that the news has recently moved from always negative to mixed. The term ‘mixed’ would seem appropriate in response to the recent release of Phoenix and Arizona bankruptcy statistics. While the number of Arizona bankruptcy filings has dropped for the ninth time in the past ten months, they still remain high in a historical sense and still indicate that thousands of people are suffering in a financial sense.
According to the United States Bankruptcy Court in Phoenix, there were just under 2,000 Phoenix bankruptcy filings initiated in January of 2011. As stated above, this represents the ninth time in the past ten months that the number of filings has dropped when compared to the previous month. However, that number is still five percent higher than it was in January of 2010. In terms of the specifics of these Arizona bankruptcy filings, approximately 75 percent of them were chapter 7 filings and almost all of the rest were filed under chapter 13.
While Arizona bankruptcy numbers at least begin to indicate that the economy could be turning ever so slightly towards the positive, the facts remain that more than 20,000 people have needed this form of relief in the past year, and more than 30,000 people across Arizona have pursued the same outlet for relief in the past 12 months. Many of these problems are tied to the unemployment rate that’s also dropping slightly but remains high as well as the flagging real estate market that many are predicting will continue to suffer immensely throughout 2011.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

I want to thank attorneys Tim and Robert and the paralegal Bethany for all they had done on my case. They were all empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. All my questions were answered, emails returned in a timely matter, and promises fulfilled. I recommend Phillips Law Group if you need help with your injury case.

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!
