      Biography

      Sarah Phillips is a New Orleans based attorney practicing both criminal defense and personal injury. Sarah is originally from Georgia. While at Loyola, Sarah was elected President of the Trial Advocacy Program and received the Order of the Barristers award for her excellence in oral advocacy. After graduating law school, Sarah partnered with her husband, Bradley Phillips. Since 2010, they have defended over 800 criminal clients and have won over $1.6 million in personal injury settlements throughout Louisiana.

      Sarah is an experienced personal injury attorney who handles both minor and major injuries. While her specialty is car and truck accidents, she has extensive experience with "non typical" injuries including pedestrian and bicycle accidents. She also has experience handling Lyft and Uber cases. Over the years, she has attended hundreds of hours of continuing education for personal injury/car accident litigation. She has become well versed on both the medical diagnosis and medical treatment her clients receive. Armed with this knowledge and experience, she can effectively communicate with doctors to make sure her clients are receiving the best treatment possible. In 2020, Phillip's Law settled a rear end car accident for $650,000. After years of experience, Sarah knows the "tricks" insurance companies use to pay out less money. She loves nothing more than beating the insurance company at their own game, winning money for her clients.

      While Sarah is known primarily as a personal injury attorney, she has extensive experience with criminal law. Since 2011, she has worked alongside Bradley Phillips to defend over 800 criminal cases. Her specialty is case review, case investigation, trial preparation and legal research and writing

        I had a ticket and called around town to see where I would be able to get it taken care of for a reasonable price. I came across the Law Office of Phillips & Clayton. I called and they were very nice with my consultation and affordable. They were professional, timely with calling me back, answered when I called to ask questions, and informed me of the process as it was going on. I did not have to step foot in a court room and my ticket was successfully dismissed with no fines or payment. I would definitely recommend them to others and go back myself.

        Recently, we had the pleasure of working with Sarah Clayton @ The Phillips & Clayton Law Firm. Although it was a rather simple procedure of a legal name change, Sarah really took the time to make us feel as though our case was just as important as any other case on her desk/calendar. Always pleasant & courteous both on the phone and in person. She went through and explained everything we’d need to do as far as starting the process to change all of my necessary identification items, which ones to were best to address first & she even took the time to print up some helpful phone #’s & websites that I’m sure will prove invaluable, as we start this daunting task. I would highly recommend Sarah Clayton to any & all of my friends. Regards, Marc Anthoni-Paul

        I was visiting Louisiana for business and was caught in a speed trap. I called Phillips & Clayton after doing some research online, and Sarah handled the case from start to finish. She stayed on top of things, was professional, available if I had any questions about the case, gave me honest feedback about what to expect, and made the whole situation infinitely better and easier to handle. I initially spoke with Bradley Phillips, and he was great too. If you are out of state, or even in state, she’s a great choice…go with her. You won’t regret it.
