When I got into a car accident it was already alot for me to emotionally deal with. finding a lawyer who actually cared about me and my situation was almost harder then the accident was for me. But Brielle hunt was someone who actually wanted to be involved on helping me, my case, and caring about the affects this caused for me and my family. She looked out for my best interest every step of the way is someone I'd recommend to anyone who's looking for someone who's more then just your average lawyer.

If you're looking for your sign, if you're questioning who's best for representing YOUR STORY, pick Brielle! Shes the perfect woman for the job! I'll always be grateful for her help making my story be heard.

Where do I begin.first of all thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being so passionate about your job and service to others. Brielle M. Hunt is by far one of the nicest and most dedicated people /attorney's I have dealt with. A very great display of professionalism. Her firm needs to be very proud to have her and I will recommend her and her firm to anyone I can that needs a great Guardian ad Litem.

Also to have a Judge openly recognize you and your ability in open court is just awesome to say the least. Our daughter and her future thank you for everything you have done and she will now be awarded more than expected in the beginning, due to your diligent work. Again Thank You! Brad Hafey

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
