Nicholas Stewart
I was extremely impressed with Philip G. Kircher's handling of a complex securities litigation case. His 49 years of experience in commercial litigation were evident from the start, as he immediately identified key issues and developed a strategic approach. The depth of his knowledge in securities law and his recognition in commercial litigation gave me confidence throughout the process. Mr. Kircher's ability to break down complex legal concepts into understandable terms was invaluable. While his communication was thorough and professional, I wish he had been slightly more responsive to urgent emails. On the whole, his extensive background at Cozen O'Connor and his track record made this a positive experience. I would highly recommend him for complex business litigation matters.

I retained Mr. Kircher for a complex commercial litigation case involving a securities dispute. His experience—over 49 years—is clearly evident in his strategic approach, particularly in commercial and securities litigation, as noted by his recognition in commercial litigation. However, while his legal acumen is strong, the communication during the process was inconsistent, and response times were often longer than expected. The case resolution was favorable, but the experience felt more transactional than personalized. Despite his impressive background—Villanova JD, Drexel BS, and decades at Cozen O'Connor—frequent delays in updates made me feel less informed than I'd hoped. For clients prioritizing responsiveness alongside expertise, this is worth considering. A 3-star rating reflects competence but room for improvement in client communication.
