Attorney Information
Overview
Jeffrey J. Phillips 79, of Swampscott, Entered Eternal Rest on January 27, 2025.
Jeff was born and raised in Lynn, the son of the late Morris and Sarah (Froomer) Phillips. He received his undergraduate degree in 1968 from Transylvania University in Lexington, KY and his juris doctorate in 1972 from Suffolk University Law School, Boston. He was a practicing attorney since 1974 and was a principal at the firm of Phillips & Angley in Boston. He was a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys, the Jewish Community Center in Marblehead, and Temple Emanu-El of Marblehead. His support for those institutions was made evident by his continued connection and generous gifts over the years. He is remembered by clients and friends alike as a tenacious, loyal, and hard-working advocate. In addition to his keen legal acumen, clients prized his judicious, almost unerring practical perspectives.
Jeffrey was the devoted husband of Carol (Sukenick); the beloved father of Madeline Phillips and Samuel Phillips; father-in-law to Matthew Renner; zayde to Jacob Renner; uncle to Joshua Miller and Gabriel Miller-Phillips; and the dear brother of the late Frederic “Freddy” Phillips.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
