Phillip Linder was drawn to the justice system from a very young age. His father was a federal agent, giving Phillip the unique opportunity to grow up around lawyers, judges, and law enforcement. Every day, he witnessed how these professionals confronted new challenges with confidence and helped people overcome some of life’s most difficult moments. He was inspired to pursue a career in which he, too, could have a lasting impact on others. When he’s not advocating for clients in issues of criminal defense, professional negligence, or family law, Phillip can be found traveling around the country to complete road bike races and tours.
As an executive in a new start-up company, I was falsely charged with securities fraud and had my assets frozen by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Phillip aggressively represented me and had my charges dismissed. His knowledge of finance and accounting and experience as a former prosecutor were absolutely imperative.
While in college, our daughter developed a serious drug problem. She was eventually charged in two drug delivery offenses in Collin County and was looking at possibly going to prison for several years. Phillip convinced the Judge to give her a second chance.
I am in the military and have Top Security Clearance in Washington DC. I was arrested in Dallas and falsely charged with a DWI. Had I been convicted of the DWI, I would have lost my clearance and my job. Phillip convinced the Jury to find me not guilty and saved my career.
I was involved in a road rage incident in which the other guy was the aggressor and pulled a gun on me. He however called the police 1st and I was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Phillip worked with the District Attorney’s office to have the case sorted out and have my case dismissed. The actual aggressor was then charged with the offense.
I was a former executive at a large national health care institution based in Dallas. Myself and several others were fired and accused of corporate fraud and embezzlement. Phillips’ diligence and knowledge of corporate finance and accounting convinced the various State and Federal law enforcement agencies involved to not file any cases against me.
With age and experience in the legal industry comes the understanding that perseverance is the key to success. When obstacles arise along the way, you must stay the course, no matter how difficult it may seem.
Fighting back against criminal charges is much like cycling uphill—it takes strength, patience, and focus. But dedication pays off, and you will be much better off in the long run if you keep your eye on the end goal and just keep going.
