Previous Employer Would Not Speak To Me Directly

Philip Trenchak and his Office Staff have helped me immensely with my Separation Agreement from my previous employer. I was new to the area and had no one to speak to when middle management decided to make personnel changes while the CEO was on sabbatical. Basically, my workload was increased and the... respect given to me and my support staff decreased. I tried to defend myself by speaking to Corporate directly and give my A/P staff a raise but I was repeatedly ignored. They would not speak to me directly and told me to hire a lawyer. I used AVVO to find Philip's Stellar Law Office. They were very attentive, gave me specific options with fees on how to move forward, and were very patient with me and diligent with my case. Since my employer would not speak to me, Philip and Cristina were in constant communications with them and kept me updated with any new developments. After 3 months, Philip's office secured my Severance Payment and I can now move on to working for a more ethical not-for-profit company. I highly recommend Philip Trenchak to fight for your employment rights!

Excellent! Unfair treatment/ Discrimination case

Philip was professional and sympathetic from the very beginning. He wasn't the first lawyer my wife and I spoke with about our situation, but he was the first to take a sincere interest and offer options that we could take towards resolving. In the end, he put a lot of time into our case which I'm su...re was small fish compared to what he usually does. It felt good to know that even our small case had his attention. We are very satisfied with the work he did and our results. Now we don't have to go looking if anything were to ever arise in the future, Philip will be our first call. Highly recommended.

Extremely Helpful

Phil was very professional when I contacted him about my case. I had asked him what the correct course of action I should take, and he gave me a straight answer without beating around the bush. I was very grateful for his honesty and helpfullness. I would definitely recommend using Philip Trenchak to... anyone who has questions regarding their court case.

Went to Bat for Me and Won!

I was unlawfully terminated and denied unemployment by my employer. My boss approved me for a leave of absence and then fired me when business got slow. He said it was my fault because I took the leave HE APPROVED! I hired Phil on a referral from a friend who said he was really good to her and got... good results. I am so glad I did because Phil got me just about everything I wanted and needed. I'm very happy with Phil and the service he provided. Thanks Phil! PS: Don't listen to the previous negative reviews. I'm not sure what happened in his or her case (and it does seem like its the same person posting multiple reviews) but Phil has always been responsive, responsible, and honest with me.

I would recommend Phil Trenchak

I had originally retained Phil for an issue my son was having. Phil was very knowledgeable in our situation and was able to take care of things when he received the paper work he needed from us. My ex-wife also retained him for some issue she was having and was also given the same professional servic...e needed to resolve the matter. He is very prompt about answering emails and phone calls. I have a matter that very recently came up that requires the need for a lawyer. Phil was not able to help me but referred me to a friend immediately upon contacting him. I don' know whom the 2 bad reviews were referring to? My guess it was a different Phil there complaining about.
