TESTIMONIALS
It is with great pride that we share some of what our clients have to say about our services.
I began working with Phil Homsey about 6 years ago, when both my Hospital Director and my CPA referred me to him. I originally obtained his services to help with succession planning and corporate business, but today I consult with him on a wide range of business needs. Phil’s integrity and industry knowledge has been invaluable for us and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services to anyone requiring legal aid.

I hate lawyers and avoid them at all costs! But when the time came to find a lawyer familiar with veterinary medicine, two veterinarians whose opinions I greatly respect gave me the same name: Philip Homsey. Phil was instrumental in doing vision planning for us, in determining future goals, in getting the practice appraised, and in determining the best ways to grow.
After working with Philip, I understand why he came so highly recommended. He takes an interest in you as a person, not just as a client. He delves deep beneath the surface to try to ascertain your needs, and to ensure they are met. In short, he cares about you. I’m glad to have found him to be my lawyer, and will utilize his services for years to come.

I started working with Phil Homsey in 1989, after Mr. Lou Gatto of Gatto McFerson referred me to Phil for legal counsel, negotiation, and preparation of the documents when I was purchasing my surgical practice. His advice was invaluable during the process—by the time we had finalized the buy/sell agreement, his wise counsel had already paid for itself many times over.
Since 1989, Phil has handled all of my veterinary legal needs: negotiating buy-in agreements with associates, reviewing contracts for construction, preparing employment agreements for doctors and staff, tax law advice—all of the multitude of legal issues involved in a running a 34-doctor practice. Phil's advice has been instrumental in the growth and development of our practice, by helping us avoid any legal quagmires which so often can arise, as a small (3 doctor) practice grows into a large, 24-hour multi-specialty center. Knowing that any legal matters can be put into his capable hands for resolution enables us (the doctors) to keep our focus on medical matters and running the practice. We would never have been able to achieve the growth that we did without him!
Working with Phil has provided me with peace of mind; I know I can always rely on Phil for clear insight into any complex legal question, and efficient, time-effective handling of any issue.

I have known and worked with Phil Homsey in various capacities over the last 6 years. My original work with Phil was on a business concept discussion, but I have worked with him on a variety of things including Buy-Sell paperwork for clients and incorporation for myself. He is still an adviser and resource for me personally and available to me as an expert for SCVMA questions (of which I am the Executive Director). He has been extremely helpful to the SCVMA as a resource for reviewing contracts and bylaws, and as an author, speaker and problem solver. Phil’s knowledge, industry expertise, and ability to communicate the legalese in terms that all can understand has made him a truly invaluable resource.

I have had the privilege and honor to work closely with Phil on several very important projects for mutual clients over the years in some very difficult, challenging and high stakes circumstances. He is an outstanding professional and a very knowledgeable attorney in general, but particularly as it relates to issues in the unique field of veterinary specific transactions.
I have also been very positively associated with Phil as a colleague in VetPartners for a number of years. When I am asked for a referral to a veterinary specific attorney in California, Phil’s name is usually at the top of my list and I have never had a client express anything other than complete satisfaction with the work that he has done and the service that he has provided.
If you are considering using the legal services of Phil Homsey, I hope you will consider my comments as an unqualified endorsement of him.
