The Lawyer I Needed: Amy Vela

Amy Vela did an excellent job representing me in a personal injury case. I appreciated her approachable manner which was helpful, honest, direct, and thorough. Communication with Amy was easy because I felt like I could talk with her as an equal. My questions were always answered and explained so tha...t I was aware of what was going on with my case. When I was stressed, Amy could talk me through the issues. I appreciated the calm, honest, direct, yet empathetic way in which she communicated; Amy is truly skilled in this area! Other areas of expertise were professionalism, preparedness, punctuality, attention to detail, trustworthiness, and the ability to represent me so that my needs were met. I was and am extremely satisfied and happy with the representation Amy Vela provided for me. I highly recommend her as an experienced, confident, successful attorney!

My son"s accident

My son was hit by a car while driving his bike at an intersection, the car did not stop, and the officer on seen didnt even ticket the driver. After learning about his he injuries ,a broken jaw and broken front teeth. I knew I needed an attorney thankfully, I found Amy Olivas. The minute I walked in... her office and spoke with her the first few minutes, I felt more confident that my handsome son was going to be put back together. She was very knowledgable, patient, and explained everything from his medical care, insurance process and told us how much she expected settlement to be. My son received the medical care needed, two new teeth and the settlement amount was exactly the amount expected. Thank you Amy, keep helping people the way you do :-)

Amy Nadine Olivas

I suffered a broken arm and several cuts as a result of the driver of a parked car flinging her door open into a bicycle path. Ultimately flipping through the glass window, into the quarter panel, and then finally attacking the asphalt. Sadly, the asphalt won, albeit the BMW door did not fare as we...ll. I went to Phillips Law Group due to their prompt and professional response. I was assigned two separate attorney's over the approximate one-year timeframe, with the primary being Amy Olivas. While all of Phillips Law Group staff were very good to excellent with respect to timeliness, understanding, and overall professionalism; Amy was in particular. To the point, Amy always acted in a reasonable and professional manner, in addition to being available within a few business hours in all cases wherein I had questions which the paralegal could not address. In the end, I received an exceptionally high settlement, with netting almost twice what other law firms indicated would be likely. I must commend Phillips Law Group, my specific paralegal, and Amy Olivas in particular. Great attorney and the end result was just one notch short of spectacular. Go Amy !

Great Attorney

I am glad that I found Amy Olivas. From the very beginning, she assured me that my case would be handled from start to end and that I had nothing to worry about. She was right!! She took on my case, handled my property damage and my bodily injury for the car accident that I was in. If I had any quest...ions, Amy was always available to speak with. I liked the one on one that I received and could not have asked for a better attorney. I would recommend Amy Olivas to anyone and everyone!
