    CIVIL LITIGATION CLIENT
    Mike Rolleston
    Lawsuits are not a fun experience, even when you are clearly in the right. It can be stressful, confusing, and downright a pain in the neck. Mike Labbee handled our case and while it was a relatively small business dispute. To us it meant everything and Mike treated us with respect and represented our interests aggressively. He was always available to answer our questions and walk us through the various phases of our case. We never felt neglected or that we were not a priority for Mike and his firm. Mike and his staff worked with us for over a year and we reached a very satisfactory resolution in our case which allowed our business to continue thriving. I can’t recommend PHL enough. If you are looking for attorneys, you can stop. You found them.

    Mike and Tyler represented me in the Fall of 2019 and were accommodating and welcoming to me at all times of the day. They handled my small dispute as if it was a large one and would feel comfortable referring them to any individual or business in town should you need honest representation!
