Our "go to" Guy

We hired Scott after our attorney had a conflict and couldn't represent us. Scott is now our lead attorney. Did a wonderful job for us in regulatory hearings

Great man!

Attorney Spencer successfully advised me with my case. I found him to be professional and responsive and would recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation! Great man! Very down to earth and gets the real life issues.

Great Attorney & Advisor!

Scott has been terrific in helping us with the complex regulatory framework of our new business venture and has been outstanding to work with!

Honest, Fair and Responsive

I hired Scott to help protect my elderly mother's tenant rights. Scott undertook the challenge, talked to the landlord, met with my mom in her rehab facility and showed compassion and concern for her situation. He was professional, fair and cost conscious. His representation ensured that my mother's rights were protected and her life was not disrupted. He achieved the desired results. I am eternally grateful for Scott's help and highly recommend him. You can't go wrong.

"I endorse this lawyer. For all legal matters. I have only labeled Attorney Spencer within the Constitutional category because those happen to be my fondest of memories shared between Scott and I. What he does posses are traits and characteristics that were taught to him well before we attended law school together. Loyalty, Integrity, and Honesty are hard traits to find within this vocation and Scott has a handle on all three. He has helped me with numerous legal matters and will always be a trusted resource."
