Took my money and did nothing

Had 3 lackeys start and then quit associating with Phelps and associates, then finally 1 represented me in court and may as well been working for the prosecution as he knew only what he heard from the prosecution. I would have been better off representing myself. THEY ARE RIP OFFS

Scammer and Money grabber

This attorney is a scam artist. We hired him for a family member. Paid him 5 thousand dollars down. And he did not not contact us or do anything for months after. When we complained and asked for our money back, he claimed he would do the case for only the 5 grand. A year later, he sent paper work to... collections going after me for 10 grand. Do not hire this money grabbing liar.

Do not hire.

This attorney failed to communicate with clients, failed to provide adequate counsel, and failed to notify client of pertinent court motions and hearings to the point that the case was lost. Then they sent a bill to the client after telling the client there would be no cost until the case was won. U...nless you want some one to screw you over in regards to your lawsuit, stay away from this attorney.

wish I had picked a different firm

I am very disappointed in thus firm. They took my money and said they were confident in my case. I went to court for my hearing and my lawyer only happened to be there because she had another case at the same time for someone else. She said I didn't know your court date was today she walked up to the... judge and asked for an extension and told me I could leave. Side note, pertty sad when you are dressed more professionally then your lawyer, her skirt was covered in clumps of dog hair and talk about some bed hair. Waste of my time. I went to the office to talk to the Doug Phelps about my concernsand the was unavailable to see me so I requested that he call me. He never did. A few weeks later I called to set up a pretrial meeting and they said we would need to file for another extention because they had not recieved my discovery report from the court, to bad they had already mailed me my copy of my report from their office. That meeting my lawyer was also 45 min late to. Way to instill any form of confidence. They are the most disorganized group of lawyers in town. Do yourself a favor and pick another firm.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Doug Phelps and I are not related but I would be proud to consider him family. He is one of the hardest working atorneys in town. He practices state-wide in Washington and Northern Idaho. His associates are outstanding as well and rarely is there a docket in Spokane or CDA where Phelps and Associates isnt present and representing grateful clients. Doug is at the forefront of developing legal issues in criminal law with many other local attorneys falling into step behind the wake he has created. He is an excellent atorney and a zealous advocate for his clients. He takes many cases to trial that many other attorneys would try to settle. HIs passion for criminal defense is plainly evident to all who meet him. Any defendant who wants every avenue pursued in their defense will be well satisfied with Phelps and Associates."
