Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Tom is one of the most well-known attorneys in town and everyone looks up to him. I've had several cases against him as a prosecutor and while we had our courtroom battles we always maintained a professional, constructive relationship. Tom is a top notch attorney and I'd completely recommend him.

Tom Phelan is one of the most respected and accomplished trial attorneys in Clark County, Washington. He is a superb advocate, possesses a keen legal mind, and will spare no effort in defending his clients.

I endorse this lawyer. In my previous position as a Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, I had many opportunities to work across from Tom Phelan on cases ranging from domestic violence to child abuse allegations. I always found Tom to be an excellent litigator and strong advocate for his clients.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have known Thomas (Tom) Phelan for over 15 years. For the past 10 years I was a Deputy/Senior Deputy Prosecutor in the Major Crimes Unit or in the Children's Justice Unit. Tom and I have had many very difficult and sensitive matters in which we were opposing counsel. Tom is one of the best attorneys I had the pleasure to prosecute cases against. Tom and I have dealt with Class A sex offenses, an Attempted Murder, and many other serious cases. He has always been a zealous advocate for his clients. In my opinion he is one of the best attorneys in his practice area, criminal defense, in the state. I have a great deal of respect for his abilities and if I were ever in trouble I want him to represent me.
