"I endorse Christian. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. I refer clients to Chris Phelps with confidence. He has shown the ability to achieve results in difficult cases. I have often seen Chris obtain "not guilty" verdicts, stipulated continuances, or even outright dismissals in even the most difficult of cases. Chris has the unique combination of masterful trial and litigation skills combined with high level negotiating skills. This allows Chris to often achieve great results for clients with the need for trial. Refer with confidence."

He is someone that I trust to refer clients to because I know that he is eminently qualified to handle any criminal matter with great skill. I fully endorse Chris Phelps to represent clients facing a criminal charge."
"Chris Phelps is an exceptionally qualified criminal defense attorney who provides all clients outstanding representation."
"Christian and I have had many co-defendants over the years in federal court. In that time, I have been impressed with Christian's advocacy and professionalism on behalf of his clients. Christian works extremely hard for his clients and achieves good results. I highly recommend Christian."
"Mr. Phelps is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. I have worked together with him on a number of cases. When I need to refer out a case, I refer to Mr. Phelps with confidence."
"Having worked with Chris and seen him in action, I can sincerely endorse his work. He is one of the best trial lawyers I have ever seen. He works tirelessly to aggressively defend those accused of crimes. I have consulted with him over the years on several complicated issues and his advice has always been spot on."
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris Phelps is easily one of the most gifted criminal defense attorneys in Spokane. I am unaware of any defense attorney who has received more "not guilty" verdicts following trial than Mr. Phelps. I refer all of my clients, associates or contacts who need criminal defense assistance to Mr. Phelps."
"Chris is a naturally gifted advocate. Few attorneys command the courtroom by their mere presence and performance ... Chris does. He is one of very few attorneys who can turn a bad case into a good one with the smoke and mirrors of his personality."
