I’m Phillip B. Nghiem – Bar #291525, and I serve as Of Counsel to Empire Law.
I combine innovative strategies, practicality, and dedication to achieve the best outcomes for my clients. I take pride in tackling challenging cases because I believe everyone deserves effective representation, no matter the size of their case. If I can’t help directly, I’ll make sure to guide you in the right direction.
As a natural storyteller, I take the time to get to know each client personally. This allows me to develop a unique approach tailored to their case, steering clear of cookie-cutter methods.
In 2022, I was part of a team that secured a $52.9 million verdict for a 17-year-old injured in a car accident with a tractor-trailer. Later that year, I negotiated a $1.3 million settlement for a client assaulted by security guards at a California casino, just days before trial.
I attended the 2022 OCBA College of Trial Advocacy (Orange County Bar Association) and trained with Dan Ambrose of the Trial Lawyers University in 2023. I have also been recognized as one of the Rising Stars by Super Lawyers Magazine in 2022 and 2023.
When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking with my church group, spending time with friends, family, and pets, and supporting non-profits like the Public Law Center and Illumination Institute.
