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.

More Than a Case!!!

What started out as what I thought would be a tough case turned out to be amazing. Brent and his team (Victoria,Nick) were amazing from start to finish. I had some up hill battles with my case and they tackled each one with ease and non stop persistance. They make you feel like someone really cares a...bout your situation. Your not a client with them your someone who matters your family. I received phone calls about my case regularly, but what amazed me was I received phone calls about how I was doing outside of the case, like I said a law firm with people who really care. I always looked at lawyers a different way. Trust me they are not all the same. I got my case wrapped up and made some really good people along the way, some really good friends. The professionalism, courtesy and respect was above and beyond what I could have even asked for. No matter the challange they tackled it gracefully. The communication was something you'd never expect and the results were amazing. I have emailed called and texted all hours of the day and night and always got a response within minutes of them reading them. This amazing team at Pelton and Associates are the type of people you would add to your yearly christmas card list for years to come. I can write pages on the amazing job done for me, but one word sums it up "Amazing". If you were like me unsure of what to do or who to let help you take my advice and give Brent and his team a try. You will be sending thank you emails and writing reviews like mine. I can finally start my life and put the past behind me. Brent Victoria and Nick "Thank you for all your hard work amazing skill and most of all your friendship" ***** stars

A Great Firm

I had a very good experience with this firm. Both Victoria Glavin and Brent Pelton are very helpful. They listened to me and worked hard to get me my back wages. I give their number out to people I know who need employment help. Two Thumbs Up!
