I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

A special mention goes to Ilse, the client experience coordinator. Her expertise in insurance policies is remarkable, and she articulately explains them in both Spanish and English. She skillfully navigates you through the process with empathy and understanding. A heartfelt thanks for the exceptional experience!

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Rich S.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...

Michigan Youth Residential Treatment Center Sexual Assault Claims

Sexual abuse in youth treatment centers is a devastating violation of trust. Perpetrators may include staff members, counselors, or even other residents, and the trauma inflicted can have lifelong physical, emotional, and psychological consequences.

Survivors of this type of abuse often face challenges such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and difficulty forming healthy relationships. Holding these facilities accountable is critical not only for the survivors but also to prevent future abuse and ensure safer environments for all children.

In many states, the law provides legal avenues for survivors to pursue justice. Our firm specializes in representing clients in personal injury lawsuits, including survivors of sexual abuse in civil lawsuits. We can help you or your loved one seek compensation for medical expenses, therapy, pain and suffering, and other damages related to abuse in a Michigan youth residential treatment center.

We want to hold negligent facilities accountable for failing to protect the children in their care. Whether the abuse occurred recently or decades ago, you may still be able to seek justice.

Detroit Behavioral Facility Abuse Case

In one shocking example, as recently as March 2024, former patients of a Detroit behavioral facility sued the establishment, which is now closed, “alleging systemic sexual and physical abuse of underage residents over two decades,” according to The Detroit News.

The case was filed against the Detroit Behavioral Institute but also named the institute’s parent company, Acadia Healthcare. An attorney involved in the case said the company owns more than 250 youth residential treatment facilities in the United States, the outlet noted.

“Accusations against the facility include grooming, touching, and rape, attorneys representing the former residents say,” the Detroit News reported. “The lawsuit accuses a particular supervisor of abusing more than 40 patients. Staff members who did not allegedly abuse patients themselves are accused of coercing victims into silence, including through physical assault and calling victims ‘snitches’ and ‘rats’ for speaking up.”

It’s that exact sort of abuse in Michigan youth residential treatment facilities – and the culture of shame and silence around this type of abuse – that our firm wants to help end and assist survivors in seeking justice.
