I called for days and couldn’t find a lawyer who I felt like I trusted with my case. Spencer was the first to call me back and by his attention to detail and personal touch that he brought to our conversation I KNEW I could trust him. If you need/want a kickass lawyer and someone who truly cares for you and your case, go with Spencer! If I could give him a 6-star rating I would still want to give him a 7!
Professional, knowledgeable, quick to answer any questions I had! I always had confidence in his skills. First time with trusting a lawyer and I KNOW I chose the right man for the job!
As a fellow Utah attorney, it has been a pleasure to get to know and work with Spencer. Spencer is very kind and genuine and it is clearly evident that he cares about everyone he meets. Spencer has an impressive background and is extremely knowledgeable in his areas of practice. I highly recommend Spencer to any employer facing an employment law issue.

How well do you know overtime laws? Do you ever wonder if your employer is paying you what they should? Do you fear that if you raise a complaint if will be held against you? Well Spencer has the answers for you. Spencer is very knowledgeable and very professional I am fortunate he took my case and was able to help me. I recommend Spencer 150% and I would hire Spencer again in a heartbeat. Most employers will fight back but I can guarantee you that Spencer knows what he is doing. He is patient and will not give up on the first try. Spencer took the time to work on my case as if it was the only case he had. He answered all of my questions whether it was via text, phone, or email. If I could give him another five stars I would. His work is stellar and one of a kind Thank you Spencer for all you did for me!

It was also great to talk with HIM when searching for consultations instead of a secretary to just be scheduled on the lawyer's calendar. Great personal touch and made it a no brainer who to choose - that already showed he cared about me and got my business.

Spencer Phillips showed me kindness in a time when I had very little certainty. Spencer gave me a map, when I was lost. He told me how to read the map, but never told me to follow him in any-one direction.Spencer gave me a flashlight when life was dark just so I could see clearly the entire picture, and make my own mind up. Spencer never promised me anything, he never used quips like “easy” , “in the bag” or “cut and dry.” Spencer, instead, gave me realistic expectations based on his, seemingly endless, well of knowledge. Spencer, on one of our final calls laid out every bit of information that he had gathered, painted multiple situations and was patient with me. Ultimately, I asked Spencer if you were me what would you do? Suffice it to say, Spencer made the right decision and I am forever grateful for his compassion, conviction, diligence and kindness. I feel very lucky to have been able to meet Mr. Phillips. Thank you, sir.

Mr. Phillips has that rare gift of taking what is very complex and difficult and presenting it in a manner that can be easily understood by his clients and compels his adversaries to see the superiority of his client’s position. This allows him to steer you out of danger and legal jeopardy, and to successfully resolve your legal problems in your favor. I highly recommend him.

Spencer is fantastic to work with. I was really nervous to retain an attorney as I'd heard some horror stories about lawyers, but my experience with Employer Lawyer was nothing like those awful stories. Spencer kept me in the know about any charges before they were incurred, and he was actually very sensitive about keeping his costs as low as possible so we didn't break my bank. He was very good about keeping me informed, and was very available to answer my questions anytime I needed advice (you can email, call or text him). I hope I don't need a lawyer again, but if I do, I'd go with Spencer at Employer Lawyer any time. My experience was great, he really knows his stuff, and I feel like he helped me work out a much better arrangement than I could have negotiated on my own. Thank you!

Recently I met Spencer at an Employment seminar, where he was the keynote speaker. His speech was interesting, easy to understand, and conveyed Employment advice and legal standing for an employer.
Last week, my company discovered ongoing theft, by my bookkeeper. I called Spencer and received very detailed legal advice for my company and the proper steps to take to terminate, document and protect our company. He even sent me the Utah Code on some of the issues to protect and inform my company.
When I asked Spencer for his mailing address, so I could pay him for his time...he refused payment! Unusual in today's litigious world and hourly billing for an attorney.
I would highly recommend Spencer to anyone or any company that has simple to complex legal issues to protect yourself and your company legally.
