In 1989, Robert M. Phillips became the first criminal defense lawyer in Williamson County history to be Board Certified as a Specialist in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

In 2006, Mr. Phillips was named by the Texas Monthly Magazine and the Law & Politics Magazine, among Texas Super Lawyers, an honor accorded to only five percent of all Texas attorneys. Robert Phillips’ career spans over 25 years; he has tried over 200 jury trials and disposed of more than 3,000 felony and misdemeanor criminal cases at the state and federal level. The quality of his work is well-known by his peers and he has received an AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell, a reputable, national attorney-rating service.
