Ian demonstrated the highest level of professionalism Aug 23, 2025

I had an outstanding experience working with Ian Piasecki. From start to finish, Ian demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and restored my confidence at a time when I had felt discouraged and unsupported. Ian’s knowledge and expertise are remarkable, and he was always responsive. He guided me through the process with clarity, making what could have been a stressful situation feel manageable. Most importantly, Ian was able to bring a conclusion to the matter that was in my favor. Words cannot fully express my gratitude for having Ian in my corner. I felt supported, informed, and confident every step of the way. I highly recommend Phillips & Associates to anyone seeking reliable, effective, and compassionate legal assistance. I would also like to extend a special thanks to Justyna and Joshua Friedman, whose assistance with my matter was invaluable.

I can’t recommend Todd Carpenter enough. From the very beginning, he was the most supportive and kindest person to work with. He really listened to me, believed in me, and went above and beyond to fight for my case. I always felt like he had my back and truly cared about what I was going through. He explained everything clearly, was patient with all of my questions, and made sure I understood every step of the process. More than just being a great lawyer, he was compassionate and made me feel like I wasn’t alone in this. If you’re looking for someone who is not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely invested in helping you, I would 100% recommend Todd. I’m so grateful for everything he did for me.

Very Kind People Here Aug 20, 2025

I ran across an ad for this firm via social media. They were not able to assist me in my case because it's outside of their scope of practice, but an attorney was kind enough to give me his ear and listen to me, which resulted in an awesome referral! I obtained (possible) representation for my case the very same day! Very kind people here.

I can't recommend his services enough Aug 14, 2025

I've had the pleasure of working with Jesse Weinstein across a handful of employment-related matters. My experience has been incredible. Jesse has the ideal personality and skillset and is my top choice for a lawyer. He is always calm, cool, and collected—never aggressive or pushy with his clients, but knows when to give gentle nudges to keep things on track and ensure the optimal outcome. With that said, he really knows how to appropriately apply pressure during the legal process to make sure his clients get what they deserve. He is attentive, diligent, thoughtful, and incredibly kind and considerate. In the event that he's not the best fit for the particular issue you're dealing with, Jesse will be upfront and honest about it, and then leverage his extensive network to find the person best suited to assisting you. I can't recommend his services enough—if you need any legal representation, make sure Jesse Weinstein is your first call!

I had the pleasure of working with Jesse Weinstein. He was so helpful and supportive of my situation. He was very considerate, thoughtful, and patient in discussing all of my options and potential scenarios and solutions. He asked all of the right questions to help me review my case. He was a very clear communicator to boil down all of the legal clauses into layman’s terms. He really wanted to ensure all of the bases were covered and was very thorough in reviewing all the potential claims. I truly appreciate his time, effort, and professionalism. I highly recommend Jesse and the law firm.

They are exceptional advocates and even better people. Aug 7, 2025

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Blake Ferris on a complex employment matter involving FMLA concerns, and I cannot speak highly enough about the caliber of support and representation I received. Blake is the kind of attorney who immediately puts you at ease. He is not only a brilliant legal mind but also deeply compassionate, respectful, and clear in his communication. At every turn, Blake was collaborative, thorough, and strategic. He consistently took time to walk me through the legal process, answer my questions, and ensure I felt informed and empowered to make the best decisions for myself. His ability to balance deep legal expertise with kindness and humanity made all the difference during a challenging time. I always felt I was in extremely capable hands. I also want to extend immense gratitude to Brittany Stevens, who was equally impressive and instrumental in the process. Brittany brought poise, insight, and professionalism to the process, and her partnership with Blake was seamless in representing my best interests. Together, they made me feel like I had a powerhouse team behind me, one that was not only technically strong but genuinely cared about my well-being and the outcome of my case. The entire Phillips & Associates team was a pleasure to work with. They were courteous, responsive, and attentive. But Blake and Brittany truly stood out for their thoughtful approach, legal precision, and unwavering support. I would recommend them both without hesitation to anyone seeking expert, compassionate, and effective employment representation. They are exceptional advocates and even better people.

After enduring a deeply traumatic experience, I wasn’t sure what resolution could look like—let alone whether it was even possible. Working with this firm changed that.

The best decision I ever made was hiring Samantha Solomotis and Jesse Weinstein to advise me through a difficult situation.

A Class Act Firm Jul 23, 2025

I felt it necessary to write a review to thank the team that handled my sexual harassment case. Let me first thank the attorney Melissa Vo for the way you handled this matter from the start. I felt comfortable from our first conversation. You understood the pain and suffering and how difficult it was to make the decision to go through with this and helped me not to feel shame. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and getting this settled. I also want to say Humberto Alvarez for being patient and kind every time I called with a question or concern. He was very concerned and made me feel like I mattered to them. He would always return an email or call and was very thorough and very detail-oriented. Thank you for a judgment-free zone and for making me comfortable speaking to you about the details. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this firm to anyone that has been involved in a harassment case. The office also was very helpful, so thank you again, class act firm. I am grateful and blessed 😊 Yours truly, Pamela

The team at Phillips & Associates consistently exceeded my expectations for my first lawyer experience. They worked with me over several years, handling transitions in the most professional manner, and were always willing to further explain all aspects of case law and court proceedings.

Melissa Made Me Feel Fully Supported Jun 30, 2025

About two years ago, I went through a horrible situation which took me to the unimaginable—hiring a lawyer. I didn’t know where to start and while googling firms, I came across Phillips & Associates which had great reviews. As I read the team profiles, I knew Melissa Berouty was the lawyer for me and I wasn’t wrong! Beyond her brilliant mind, Melissa is detailed, poised and made me feel fully supported. She was always available, on top of my case, and provided excellent guidance and explanations from start to finish. Melissa surrounds herself with a great team who also are very diligent and sharp. If you’re thinking this review sounds perfect - it is 100% truthful. I will forever be grateful to Melissa and Bryan Arce who stood by me during this very tough time. While I never wish being put in a spot where hiring a lawyer is your only outcome, should you find yourself in this situation, I highly recommend Melissa Berouty to stand in your corner.

Empathy and Prompt Response Jun 26, 2025

Melissa Vo was amazing to work with. Her empathy and prompt response make a stressful process easier. I 100% recommend.

Kenneth Banks

They get the job done! Jun 25, 2025

I would highly recommend anyone to Phillips & Associates for your employment-related cases! Josh and Justyna were such a pleasure to work with and made the process so easy. They were always available when I had questions. Extremely flexible schedules. And they get the job done! I mean, let's face it, none of us want to be in a situation where their services are needed but, if you have to, you want to make sure you have the best team on your side. Other firms didn't think my case was 'big enough' but Josh fought to make sure I got what I deserved. I hope I never have to sue another employer again but if I do, I'm calling the ghostbusters ;-)

Melissa Berouty is the One to Call Jun 24, 2025

If you’re a woman navigating a serious workplace issue—especially one involving power, influence, and the risk of professional fallout—Melissa Berouty is the attorney you want in your corner. I was up against someone with virtually unlimited resources and reach. I was afraid of retaliation, blacklisting, and financial strain. Melissa didn’t coddle or sugarcoat—she brought exactly what was needed: pragmatism, clarity, and steadiness. She prepared me for every possible outcome while working strategically to ensure the worst never happened. She managed the emotionally charged conversations with my employer directly, sparing me from unnecessary strain while keeping me informed and in control. She shielded me from the noise, but never from the facts. While the experience felt all-consuming, it was resolved efficiently—within one business quarter—thanks to Melissa’s focused and tactical approach. If you’re looking for an attorney who knows the terrain, doesn’t flinch under pressure, and will guide you through with confidence and precision, Melissa Berouty is the one to call.

Great Team, Honest and Will Fight Jun 21, 2025

I had no idea what to expect when I first walked in the office with my issue, not knowing if I had a case or not. Dorina heard my story and made me feel secure to have them represent me. I was also introduced to Samantha and Kayla who, for the next almost two years, helped me with everything, ultimately securing a settlement which allowed me to move on to the next chapter of my life. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for all of you. Great team, honest and will fight tooth and nail for those they represent. Thanks to each and every one I may have not mentioned. So grateful for the day I walked into that office. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all the way.
