This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Listener

Mr. Phelps asked the important questions and really listened to my answers. He took the time that the situation called for and helped us get the compensation we were owed. I recommend his services.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Responsive, took the case overlooked by others, good resolve

As with contingency matters, merits (for an estimate of probability of a win and time involved) and claim size are what attorneys look for - the lowest hanging fruit. Marc Phelps was the first to show interest in the case of all local attorneys, the most responsive considering it was contingency, an...d the most competent specifically dealing with employment issues from his experience with other companies rather than a sideline of a higher markup practice. Also, you get ... Marc, not a first year associate. If there are reasons contingency is not an option in a case, he has a network of others that he may share with or refer to. I had an acceptable resolve of my matter and I highly recommend Marc.

MARC IS WHO YOU WANT!

Marc is not only professional but is so smart and studies every case like it is the biggest trial of his career. He graduated from USC Law School and is really intelligent in what he does and how he approaches the stand and judge. He helped me get through a big case that the judge is known for throwi...ng people into custody and not only did Marc get me out of hat situation, but he was able to get me another court date because of his great speech and persuasion with the judge. I definitely would recommend Marc Phelps to anyone.

"Marc and I attended law school together at USC. Marc was an accomplished student and became an editor of the Interdisciplinary Law Journal. After school Marc worked at several large law firms before starting his own practice. This varied experience gives him a unique and invaluable insight into employment law from the employer side which he can now use to the benefit of his employee clients. I would recommend Marc."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
