Attorney Information
Overview
Phyllis Bossin is a dedicated and passionate family law attorney. She cares deeply about her clients and brings her passion, caring and skill to every case she and her associates handle.
Phyllis knows that the best path to resolution occurs outside of the courtroom where people can control their own outcomes. She brings her experience and expertise to settlement negotiations. When appropriate, Phyllis takes her cases to mediation. As a trained mediator herself, she can apply her expertise to help achieve resolution. Phyllis is also trained in collaborative law, another form of dispute resolution that involves a commitment by the parties to resolve their differences outside of the courtroom. Finally, as a trained arbitrator, Phyllis can serve parties and their counsel by arbitrating and deciding their cases.
However, when reasonable alternative paths to resolution fail, Phyllis is ready to litigate. As an experienced, persuasive, and successful litigator of family law, she brings decades of highly-honed trial skills to bear.

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.
