This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Top notch lawyer that fights for you.

I needed someone with experience in the corporate world of contract based commission and bonus pay structures. I was very fortunate to find Phil Flemming. He reviewed my information and documentation and assured me the terms of my contract had been violated. He diligently worked thru all the aspect...s of building a rock solid case to support my claim. One of his great attributes is that he keeps in constant communication with you. Always very respondent to calls or emails to my questions. Unbelievably well experienced in Arizona labor laws and their application to out of state corporations and holding them accountable to these laws. He fought aggressively and professionally. His replies to the mega corporate attorneys assured me I hired the right person. Always valued my opinions whether right or wrong and then shared his professional insight as to how to best move forward. Rest assured you will not be disappointed in hiring Phil and I am happy to see he has started his own firm.

Excellent Attorney

I recently had a very complicated employment matter which I sought the advice of Mr. Flemming. First of all, Mr. Flemming seemed very experienced and had a great deal of knowledge of the law and my circumstances. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He turned something that was very bleak into som...ething that was positive for me. Thank you

Very professional and knowledgeable

I approached Phil regarding my equal pay and discrimination case against a large corporation, after I had a prior conversation with another firm. Because of that, I had a general idea of what were the possible legal venues available in my situation. Phil laid out similar options. Unlike the other f...irm, I felt that Phil was more confident and had more experience in dealing with large corporations that have a very robust legal team and a strong process to deny any wrong doing. Phil was very professional (a bit cold), but I felt it was appropriate for his role. I felt that I had a very strong case and plenty of supporting documentation. After listening attentively to my situation, Phil put a very detailed demand letter together, laying out the events and including eloquently the laws governing the situation. After a lengthy process, while the company investigated the events, they came back with a very low-ball settlement offer. Phil was instrumental in negotiating a deal and listening to my concerns. It is unfortunate that it is legal for companies to force employees into Arbitration Agreements as a condition of employment and basically force employees into forfeiting their legal rights. Because of that, I don’t feel that the law was enforced, however I do feel that Phil did a good job of listening to my concerns (while keeping an impartial stance) and he did a good job representing me and negotiating in my behalf. While the desired outcome for me would have been fairness and change in the illegal practices displayed by some of the leaders of the corporation, a settlement was reached. As everyone treated unfairly knows, money does not substitute fairness, but it’s what the corporations prefer to offer, instead of accepting responsibility and implementing change.

Outstanding lawyer

I was terminated from my job as a long term executive at a large corporation. I hired Mr. Flemming to represent in this matter. I was extremely impressed with not only his knowledge of employment law but his ability to patiently walk me through all of my options. Ultimately, I was able to settle thi...s matter with the assistance of Mr. Flemming. I can highly recommend Mr. Flemming for employment matters.
