Obtuvo su título universitario en Wayne State University en Detroit, Michigan, donde se graduó summa cum laude.
Phil fue seleccionado para servir en una prestigiosa pasantía judicial federal, donde trabajó para un juez federal en el Distrito Este de Texas. Esta experiencia le proporcionó un conocimiento invaluable sobre el proceso judicial y le permitió perfeccionar sus habilidades legales.
Antes de unirse a Sorrels Law, Phil pasó casi una década en Big Law, defendiendo a empresas en una amplia gama de casos comerciales, derechos civiles, expropiaciones y lesiones personales. En particular, tiene amplia experiencia en litigios de lesiones personales derivadas de accidentes en campos petroleros. Mientras trabajaba en la defensa, fue parte de equipos que lograron desestimar cientos de millones de dólares en reclamaciones por lesiones personales. Su trabajo previo en la defensa le brinda una perspectiva única sobre cómo las corporaciones evalúan y defienden los reclamos. Ahora, Phil utiliza ese conocimiento interno para ayudar a las personas lesionadas a obtener la justicia que merecen.
