I Felt I Was in Good Hands May 4, 2026

I Cannot Recommend Melissa Berouty Enough Apr 24, 2026

I cannot recommend Melissa Berouty enough. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to my case. She took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed throughout the entire process, and always made me feel like a priority. What stood out most was how hard she fought for me. She was confident, thorough, and didn’t back down, which ultimately led to a successful outcome. Going through a legal situation can be stressful, but having Melissa on my side gave me peace of mind every step of the way. She is not only an excellent attorney but also compassionate and understanding.

My biggest gratitude is how I felt treated Apr 1, 2026

I want to greatly thank Attorney Steven Fingerhut for his excellent handling of my case. Attorney Fingerhut not only knows the laws of his area of practice perfectly, but he is a professional in every sense of the word. From the first consultation with Attorney Fingerhut, I felt that he believed me, treated me with great sensitivity and a lot of respect. He is a professional with a very humane treatment of people who are going through traumatic experiences. Likewise, each of the people in his office who worked on my case were extremely diligent and exceptionally helpful. From the beginning, he explained the process in detail, he didn't sell me false expectations, but real expectations, and he kept me informed from start to finish. He was always accessible to answer my questions. The result was very successful and I am very happy, but my biggest gratitude is how I felt treated during the process. I highly recommend Attorney Fingerhut and all of his excellent staff.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Bayron and Greg for their exceptional support, guidance, and professionalism throughout this process. They made what could have been a difficult experience feel efficient and manageable, while consistently demonstrating empathy, transparency, and clear communication. Although seeking legal assistance is never something one looks forward to, I am truly grateful they represented me, and I could not be more satisfied with the outcome. I would also like to extend my appreciation to Jessica for her responsiveness and kindness. She was always patient and helpful in addressing my many questions, and her support was greatly valued.

Putting Me on a Better Path Mar 8, 2026

I called this firm for a free consultation. It turns out that they do not take cases that are based on data gathering, statistical analysis to identify disparate impact, etc. However, although I wish they were more direct in their words, they essentially stated that this type of case does not work for their business model. Reflecting upon this made me realize that I likely need to find a small boutique lawyer or firm that is not paid on contingency. I am mainly giving a positive review because this advice is putting me on a better path to finding the right lawyer to partner with. I only subtracted 1 star because I would have preferred for them to more directly state the above. I may have come up with better questions during that conversation vs. having to reflect on it and come to this conclusion days later. However, I get that some people are very sensitive and may not react well to a direct or blunt reply, and that it may be hard to gauge that on a first phone call. For anyone who is upset that they did not take your case, I would advise to listen to their feedback carefully, as perhaps you are missing something important that could point you to a better path.

I highly recommend Greg Kirschenbaum and Phillips & Associates to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, compassionate, and results-driven law firm. They truly go above and beyond for their clients.

Their character and professionalism were second to none Feb 9, 2026

I could not have been more fortunate to have found Phillips & Associates, and more specifically Gregory Calliste, Jr. and his team, when searching for legal assistance in an employment-related matter. During my very first conversation with Greg, it was so reassuring to know that he took my grievance seriously and agreed—on the spot—to take on my case. From beginning to end, Greg and his team of associate Bayron Flores-Tapia and paralegal Jennifer Astudillo were with me every step of the way. Their character and professionalism were second to none, and along the way I feel as though I've made some new friends as well. I highly recommend the firm of Phillips & Associates and would "counsel" anyone to ask for Gregory Calliste, Jr.

I Would Highly Recommend This Firm Jan 17, 2026

When looking for legal representation, Phillips & Associates was who I connected with first. The ability to call beyond a standard 9-5 work schedule made it extremely convenient for me. I was able to work directly with Melissa Berouty, who was kind enough to hear my case. She was a pleasure to work with and explained everything to me in deep detail along with proper expectations. I would highly recommend this firm, and Melissa specifically, for any seeking legal representation in the fields they specialize.

A True Pro and Rockstar Dec 19, 2025

What can I say about this firm? I had a traumatic few years personally, and on top of that was laid off by my employer for suspect reasons, as I had documented health issues and an accommodation. Enter Todd Carpenter and his team. They were the only ones to believe my case after calling and being interviewed by over 5+ firms. No easy task, as going up against a huge, well-known corporation. Todd and I communicated almost every day about the case via phone or email, and the personal customer service was there 100%. I always fell to the lawyer stereotypes in my life, but Todd and team cemented the fact that you need amazing counsel on your side, especially in these turbulent times in society. I would not hesitate to contact Phillips and Associates for any labor related issue. I had a positive outcome in my case when most people said I should give up, thanks to Todd and team. Bravo to you guys and thank you. I would consider him a personal friend and colleague at this point. During our mediation meeting, we collaborated and he made sure I was on with every outcome and detail. A true pro and rockstar. Thank you all 🥂

Mr. Fingerhut regularly followed up, kept me informed of developments, and engaged in negotiations with a firm yet professional approach that made me feel fully protected. It was evident that he and his team were committed to securing the most favorable outcome for me, conducting themselves with integrity and determination.
