Excellent work

Brent and his associates did an excellent job with the class action suit we had against a former employer. He did more than expected in researching everything that was needed for the case. If I had to use another lawyer again in the related field I would use him again. I never thought I would be i...nvolved in a lawsuit and they made it a very easy process for me to go through.

Great Attorneys

Brent Pelton and Ricardo Castro are amazing. They helped me with an unpaid wages case. Ricardo was especially helpful because he spoke Spanish and was able to better explain the details of the case to me. They had a lot of experience and knowledge in employment law and I felt confident in their abili...ty to handle my case. I was very satisfied with the outcome.

A MAN WHO GETS THE JOB DONE

I was referred to Brent Pelton for an unpaid overtime case approximately 9 months ago. He went above and beyond to get me a good result! Because of his negotiation skills, we were able to settle out of court. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. I found him to be quite charming, intelli...gent, and forthcoming with all aspects of my case during our interactions and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking prompt action regarding unpaid overtime.

Great Experience My First Time Working With A Lawyer

I was referred to Brent Pelton's firm to handle an unpaid wages case by a friend. My employer owed myself and several other employees wages for several months that were never paid. Brent and his team were very thorough in handling my case. They thought of many things that hadn't even crossed my mi...nd and were able to put enough pressure on my former employer and his legal team that they ended up settling and we didn't even have to go to trial. Definitely a really good experience and I was suprised as to how many updates I received along the way. Quite often I hear that it's almost impossible to get an update from your lawyer on the progress of your case, however that wasn't the case with Brent and his firm. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone seeking legal help. I wasn't sure I'd have much of a chance to collect against my employer however was thrilled when I was finally paid via the settlement Brent got us to.
