I honestly dont know how to express our gratitude to Jonathan, Brielle and of their team. They definitely made us feel like family. Jonathan heard our story and studied our case. Immediately afterwards he gave us all the options he put the best teams in our case. If anything in the future it will always be them who i would trust.

I am a lawyer in Missouri and had the privilege of working a personal injury case with Mike. He is a great lawyer who cares about his clients. I learned a lot from Mike and his team and was very impressed by their willingness to work hard to get the best result possible for the client. Thanks Mike. Stay in touch.

My husband and I were so pleased with the highest professional manner we received from Christopher P. Yakubisin, Attorney at Phelan/Petty. Our best interests were always maintained, and at the top of his priorities to settle our personal injuries due to an auto accident. He and his staff were attentive to our needs to make sure we were compensated for the personal injuries my husband and I both suffered. Christopher has our vote of confidence, and we would highly recommend him to anyone needing assistance with a lawyer who is ethical and determined in his representation of a case.

I interviewed several PI attorneys and felt most comfortable with Mike Phelan. I was pleased with the eventual results. I hope I never have to deal with another PI case. but if I did I would reach out to Mike and his team again.

I can't say enough about the law firm of Phelan Petty, PLC they did a fantastic job for me, they went above and beyond what was expected and I truly appreciated all their hard work, if it wasn't for Mike and his hard working team I would not have received the settlement that I have, it's not often you get the maximum amount from an insurance co. but Mike made sure that's exactly what happened and I'm truly thankful for it I cannot thank him enough for all that his firm did for me Theda

Mr. Petty and Mr. Phelan were amazing lawyers for our family. They helped us get peace and justice for the loss of our love one by a reckless medical practitioner.
