Let's look at the BBB page that used to be available starting on February 2023.
What's interesting is that it shows that Phoenix Law has a pending accreditation and an A+ even though it just opened its BBB account on 2/21/23. That seems to be fast.

Let’s go through the Phoenix Law BBB complaints when the website was live.. One reviewer mentioned how difficult it has been to try to cancel their account with Phoenix Law. Here’s what the reviewer stated, “We decided that we would like to cancel our contract with Phoenix Law. I have sent at least three emails and no one has contacted me to discuss cancellation.”
What I found interesting about the complaint is that it took another 8 days from the initial complaint for the business to respond with the ability to cancel even though the reviewer allegedly had already sent 3 emails to cancel. This feels similar to the individual I spoke to who alledgely got hung up on my the customer service representative.

Another complaint highlighted how the Phoenix Law took out money on the 9th and 20th, and the reviewer alleges that the company did not return the money. That is interesting.
