Dorothy K. Phillips, 69, who practiced family law in the Philadelphia region for more than 30 years, died of cancer Monday, Aug. 13, at Saunders House, a long-term care center in Wynnewood.
At Dorothy K. Phillips & Associates, the Philadelphia firm where she practiced until early 2012, "she always tried to foster reconciliation before filing for divorce," her daughter, Bethann Schaffzin, said Tuesday.
Ms. Phillips wrote a monthly column, "Domestic Disputes," for the Pennsylvania Law Weekly through the last decade, her daughter said.
Her writings were published in Harper's Bazaar, the Wall Street Journal, the Legal Intelligencer, the Philadelphia Business Journal, Philadelphia magazine, and The Inquirer, her daughter said.
