If you are looking for someone to fight, I mean literally FIGHT for your special needs family member, Brielle is THAT PERSON! So many lawyers told us no but not my Brielle! She fought for my child like she was her own. She kept me involved during the whole process, she was educating me and making sure I understood EVERYTHING! During this case my daughter became very sick and now shes labeled as a hospice patient (very sad) Once I told Brielle the bad news it seem like she fought harder. Brielle, is definitely our angel because now my daughter can live her life to the fullest without worrying about NOTHING! She taught me to fight harder for my baby and never GIVE UP!

Communication in any situation with anybody including your attorney, is a must. If I had a question about anything, PhelanPetty would provide me with an answer. They were thorough with any issues and worked hard to resolve these issues with my case. Along with all their hard work, they also cared about how I was doing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me physically as well as mentally through this difficult time! The results were more than I had anticipated.

Both Mike and Chris handled my personal injury auto accident case. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They were very prompt, professional and took as much time as needed to thoroughly explain the process. And most importantly, they delivered exactly what they said they would.

I would like to thank Mr. Jonathan Phetty & his team from the bottom of my heart for being so passionate about their work & service to others. They displayed a great display of professionalism & through in their arguments. We were impressed by their work from our first meeting, before we met they ran a background of our case and had a clear plan on how to approach it. During our proceedings we never ever felt like working with an Attorney rather an extended family member. I would strongly recommend Mr. Jonathans Law Firm for Medical Malpractice case in Richmond.

Nothing I could write here could do justice to my appreciation for this law firm and my attorney Brielle Hunt. Miss Hunt battled tirelessly for almost 3 years to resolve my Medical Malpractice case to a most satisfactory settlement. Miss Hunt's hard work and dedication to my case has now literally changed my life! If you need help, Brielle & the firm will get the job done! THANK YOU SO MUCH BRIELLE, I couldn't be a happier client!

Brielle was such an amazing asset to have after experiencing such a terrible experience as a car accident. She was always available to talk to if I had questions and was very honest with her expectations and what to expect from the insurance companies etc. I always knew Brielle was looking out for my best interest and I will always appreciate the work she put into my case!
