Thanks Phil

I called a well known attorney after seeing his commercials for years back in 2011. I knew I had a case I just needed someone to listen to me and hear my story. That attorney was only interested in taking cases that were a guaranteed win, and as many as possible. He referred me to Phil. I had never h...eard of Phil or his firm so I was skeptical but had no other option. I left Phil a message and he responded via text to set up a time to talk. Finally someone was willing to hear my story. I was expecting a girl from his office to call in the way that the previous firm had done. Phil called me directly and did not rush me at all. I was a little put off because his personality was different than the charismatic attorneys I had seen on tv, but no one else had given me more than 5 minutes and here he was asking questions and showing empathy and interest for an hour. He believed me. Also he was my only option. He took my case. What I saw over the year that Phil represented me was a man who was not afraid of or intimidated by anyone. He believed me. He fought for me. It didn’t matter who opposing counsel was or how big the case was going to get. He fought for me and we won. I was awarded a large settlement after three other attorneys told me I had no case. Phil isn’t going to win best personality or be on a commercial or the cover of those magazines that attorneys pay to be featured in…but I have never seen someone so passionate, determined and unafraid. I hope I have no need, but if I do need an attorney again, I wouldn’t consider anyone BUT Phil.

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!

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.
