Employer-Lawyer, PLLC

"I reached out to this firm for a free consultation and I had an extremely productive and clarifying conversation with Spencer Phillips about the resources available to me and my coworkers to recover unpaid wages from a seasonal haunted house. Spencer has a clear understanding of federal and state laws, and which laws apply in which situations, including weird exemptions for seasonal gigs. Spencer helped me come to a much clearer understanding of the differences between the Utah Labor Commission and the US Department of Labor so I can reach out to the one that will be the most helpful for my situation (spoiler: it's the Utah Labor Commission!). I especially appreciate that Spencer was willing to schedule a call at a time that was convenient for me. I've spoken with many law firms at this point, and Spencer Phillips will be my first choice if I need to pursue further legal action. His clear communication style and succinct, realistic answers to my questions make me more confident in moving forward with my efforts to make Nightmare on 13th a better, fairer place for future employees to work, where everyone is paid for all their hours. Thank you, Spencer!"

"Would 100 percent recommend for any employer issues. Spencer is super kind and knowledgeable. He helped me to understand the different and best ways for my small business to handle contractors vs employees. I also appreciate his encouragement and support of my new venture."

"Spencer was incredibly courteous and professional. He reviewed my employee separation agreement and made multiple recommendations for changes that help better protect my rights. He made a stressful day much easier with his fast response time. Highly appreciated and would recommend to anyone looking for employment assistance."

"We needed some legal advice on how to proceed, after an issue my husband experienced with his ex employment. Spencer Phillips jumped on a call with us, listened to the full story, and gave us amazing advice! He made us feel heard, understood and confident about what our next steps should be. I would refer ANYONE experiencing employee/employer issues to work with Spencer!"

"My husband and I looked thoroughly for reputable counsel for a couple of weeks before finally hitting it off with Spencer. He gave us an excellent quick consultation over the phone to help us in deciding whether we wanted to book some more serious consult time, which we did. It was like driving with a professional who knew where we wanted to go and the best way to get us there - and when we wanted to stop a bit, he'd stop. And when we wanted to go fast, he followed our lead - and did. We got to our final destination in great shape and feel ready to delve further into this weird world of litigation. From beginning to end, Spencer's communication and clear transparency on fees, what to expect, asking us our expectations, etc. was exactly what we needed and a great fit. When you're paying by the hour for anything you always want your time to be valued. Spencer somehow manages to be a gracious host with a listening ear, while also concisely moving things along so as to maximize your time with him. While it's relatively simple for any thinking person to get online and do some research, having a professional with 20+ years of experience is invaluable. Completely invaluable. You end up with info you wouldn't have even known how to look for - or that you should be looking for. We received thorough and candid advice on our odds and potential outcomes for pursuing legal action versus other potential options, resources on how to move forward, and a referral for a litigator who deals with the route Spencer advised we think about pursuing. We unreservedly recommend Spencer for the peace of mind that speaking to an experienced attorney can give you. If you wish to get some answers on some of the questions you've pursued doggedly online for hours and still aren't quite sure about, Spencer will likely be able to immediately answer those. For further options on taking action, Spencer is a confident confidant and readily available for whatever we threw at him, able to give us concrete suggestions immediately. Very appreciated ~"
