Excellent Attorney!!

The best! We are very appreciative to have Judge Bahakel take care of our daughters family law needs.

Phillip Bahakel is the best lawyer in town!

Attorney Phillip Bahakel cares. He goes out of his way to help you. I got hit with a DUI last year. Attorney bahekel got with the Judge and worked out a great solution for me. Attorney Bahakel goes above and beyond. Thanks to him, I now have a new lease on life after the horrible DUI I had. I just got back from my final court hearing and had my case dismissed after following his recommendations. I recommend Attorney Bahakel hands down for ANY legal matter you may have. It's difficult these days to find an attorney that works for you because he cares as opposed to herding you through like cattle. He really cares! Be sure to contact him for your legal needs. You won't be disappointed!

Judge B is the absolute BEST attorney EVER! He is extremely fair, honest, caring and has outstanding morals that is rarely seen in the world we live in today. He expects a lot of you, but only to provide him with the tools he needs to fully do his job, which he has mastered. Every request he makes has it's specific reason. You will never go in a courtroom unprepared with this man. He wants the best for you and truly puts your needs as his first priority. If I could, I would give 10 stars to a great attorney, amazing human being, and someone who will forever be in my thoughts and prayers for what he has done for my family and I. Thanks Judge B!

I have known Phillip for 30 years and he has handled many things for me and my family and friends. You can't find a more honest Atty. And .a more knowledgeable Atty weather you are a husband or wife or child. Thank you Phillip.

Excellent and caring attorney. Mr. Bahakels knowledge of the law is far superior to any other attorney. A very caring & hard working attorney fighting for the rights of his clients, although clients are more like family, real people who really care. Recommended 100% and more!!!

Mr. Bahakel has gone above and beyond for me. He's given me guidance as well as hope for my case. Thank you sir, I don't think I could have gotten a better person to give me advise with my case!!

Wonderful attorney and always has your best interest in mind. This is your best choice by far. Just be straight and he will fight for you all the way.

Phillip Bahakel was the judge that had overseen our custody case... he was stern but fair and upon looking over every piece of evidence swiftly came to a decision. As a lawyer he handles himself in the same manner because he understands how a judge thinks as well as knowing the law to it's fullest extent... very pleased how he treats his clients and know you are in good hands.

I cannot thank Mr. Phillip Bahakel enough. He is an attorney with heart. He genuinely cares about his clients as others are writing on their reviews.
It was in the middle of the summer holiday. Just a few days before my Monday wedding in Alabama, I eventually found out from a third party that the assigned attorney of my state doesn’t want to do the prenuptial reading for me, but just kept me in the dark. Immediately, I called my home attorney’s office, but they needed at least 3 work days which was too late for the wedding. I called a dozen more, both in my state and in Alabama. No attorney was available for such short notice. Again, it was in the middle of summer holiday. Then, it was Friday just a few minutes before 5 o’clock in Alabama, Mr. Bahakel’s was the 19th attorney office I called that day. I was hopeless and ready to hear either voice recording or “no”. But, Mr. Bahakel kindly took my call and listened to my situation very patiently, and agreed to have the reading on Sunday (!) to be on time for my wedding. Upon the appointment, he was very patient, very professional, and gave me good legal tips and advice. Additionally, Mr. Bahakel didn’t charge me anything other than a very reasonable fee. I am a foreign national with a heavy accent from out of state. He could easily take advantage of my desperate situation and could have asked any price he wanted, but he didn’t. Mr. Bahakel is an amazing attorney with a caring and generous heart. He is truly, an honorable former judge.

Phillip Bahakel of Shelby County is a great lawyer. Anyone who is considering him for his services are in deed making a fantastic decision. Look at all of his fantastic reviews on Facebook and Website. Certainly you can not please everyone especially if you have been a Judge so Stars to Phillip for sure.

Laura Jones.. "5 Stars" May 2015 (Facebook)​ Mr. Bahakel is extremely knowledgeable in family law, works tirelessly for his clients, is very efficient in returning phone calls/answering questions. He deals with his clients with the upmost honesty and sincerity- a trait you don't find in many attorneys today. It's not 'all about the money' with Mr. Bahakel, but instead all about making sure his clients receive just and fair treatment, regardless of the case. I highly recommend Mr. Bahakel if you are in need of an honest attorney with very reasonable rates. If you have a need for an attorney regarding family law, I can assure you that you can't go wrong choosing Mr. Bahakel! While our case was not open and shut, patience and reassurance, keeping us informed of the status of motions filed and our general confidence in his abilities most definitely paid off in the end!

Kelly Duvall.. November 2014 (Lawyer Ratings) I have met with other attorneys regarding my case and Mr. Bahakel is the only one who didn't try to take my money or promise me the world if I would retain him. Instead, he gave me great advice and pointed me in the right direction, all during my free consultation. I know that if or when I ever need an attorney in the the future, I will use Mr. Bahakel.

Janice West.. "5 Stars" May 2012 (Lawyer Rating) He really does care about the people. His advice was based on what was good for my situation and was not based on the money he could make off of me and my messy legal situation.

I've know Phillip Bahakel for almost 20 years. Not only is he a knowledgeable and effective attorney, but he is a kind, compassionate person and a loving father.
