He shielded me from further harm. Thats how one client described her experience being represented by Attorney Jonathan Petty, who is known for his deep knowledge, professionalism, and approachability both in and out of the courtroom.
For his first decade in practice, Jonathan represented doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies involved in complex medical malpractice litigation. He also worked with large corporations to defend wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases involving tractor-trailer accidents and product liability. During that time, Jonathan gained valuable insight into how corporate entities and their legal teams defend these complicated cases.

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.

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
