Shelley Thomson, Philip Ross (Attorney)-San Antonio, Texas

San Antonio attorney Phillip Ross quietly resigned from practicing law to avoid facing wrongful discipline from the State Bar of Texas, including possible disbarment, ending a nearly 35-year legal career. He wasn’t just an attorney standing up against guardianship abuse representing his clients, but he became a whistleblower advocating against the abusive laws meant to protect the elderly being used against them, leaving them penniless, powerless and isolated from families. He appeared in the Netflix guardianship documentary “Dirty Money” in 2020.
