What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Serious criminal matters and the families standing behind them form the backdrop of the feedback left for this team in Brisbane. Alan Phillips is named repeatedly for his handling of cases involving numerous charges, with clear explanations, candid assessments and steady support maintained from the first consultation through to the final outcome. Prompt replies to calls, texts and emails are a point that comes up often, and that responsiveness is credited with making a difficult period more manageable for clients and their relatives.

Nick Crawford is acknowledged for representing people across many matters over an extended period, with thorough preparation and courtroom knowledge standing out. Zoe Kansky is singled out for guiding a young family member through a legal process to a favourable result. Referrals from friends and relatives who later instructed the same solicitors themselves appear in several accounts. Reliability, attention to detail and diligence are recurring themes, and outcomes are described as matching or surpassing what had been hoped for. Genuine care for individual circumstances runs through the comments, alongside a professional and knowledgeable approach to the work.

I was referred to Alan Phillips by a friend to help my son. It was the best thing I could've ever done. Right from the get go Alan was responsive to texts, phone calls and emails. Very personable and professional and he knows his stuff. My son's case outcome was excellent which I don't think would've been the case if we'd not used Alan from Phillips Crawford Lawyers. I will forever be grateful. ☺️

We found Miss Zoe Kansky of PCL to be highly proficient and professional throughout our contact. Zoe provided guidance and support through a legal process for a young family member to a successful outcome. Highly recommend Zoe

I had a really positive experience working with Alan. He was incredibly supportive and professional throughout the entire process. What stood out the most was how responsive and reliable he was — I was always able to reach him when needed, and he consistently replied to messages promptly, which gave me a lot of reassurance during a stressful time. He handled everything with care, clarity, and strong attention to detail, and I truly felt that he had my best interests in mind at every stage. I’m very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy lawyer.

From start to finish. Alan has been professional, supportive, reliable, and genuinely cared about my situation. He explained everything clearly, kept me updated, and made a stressful process feel a lot easier to handle. His knowledge, confidence, and dedication really stood out, and I’m extremely grateful for everything he has done. Fantastic lawyer and an even better person to have in your corner.

I was referred to Alan Phillips as a professional criminal defence lawyer, and I am extremely grateful for that recommendation. From the very beginning, I have been nothing but impressed with the professionalism shown by Alan and his team at Phillips & Crawford Lawyers. Alan takes the time to explain every detail thoroughly and is always willing to answer additional questions with patience and clarity. His calm and composed manner is truly exceptional and made a significant difference throughout the entire process. Observing Alan and his team at work turned what could have been an incredibly stressful experience into one that felt manageable and well-handled. Being in the position of a defendant is undoubtedly daunting, but Alan’s steady approach and reassuring attitude made each step much easier and far less overwhelming. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend or engage Alan Phillips again, along with Scott Lynch (Barrister). They are an outstanding defence team and, without a doubt, one of the best investments you can make when you need strong legal representation. Thank you again for your support and professionalism.
