Constitutional lawyer | Jun 03

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
