Mr Phelan has a vast knowledge of the law and it's in's and outs. He pulled no punches letting me know worst and best case outcomes and worked on getting the BEST outcome for me and my family. He is well respected in the circle of lawyers. At court when Mr Phelan went into the DA's chambers, ALL of the other lawyers were speaking about him his numerious victories. They all spoke of him glowingly. That really gave me the "warm and fuzzies" as my situation was not one I was optimistic about. It is said that a good lawyer is worth his weight in gold. I believe this to be true!!!
