Posted by Adam | March 21, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

Great guy with a great team!

Len is a great attorney and a great person. My mother (70) had a fall accident in a coffee shop and I need someone who knew what they were dealing with. I did a search on the internet for an attorney that dealt with this kind of thing, and I came across Spada Law Group. I gave them a call and spoke w...ith a very friendly and knowledgeable woman named Robyn. She took my information and passed it along to Len Spada. He immediately gave me a call back and made a special trip out to meet us at my mother's house at a time that was convenient for me (after I got out of work). He sat down and took all of her details about the incident. He was very patient and honest with her (she is getting forgetful in her older age). Right up front he told us, "he will look into it and do his best to help her in anyway he could, and that he would not charge her any fees unless the case evolved into something. If this was a case that went somewhere and was worth his while, he would get a percentage", (and I would expect nothing less. why wouldn't he, this is how he makes his living just like you and I have to make a living). I found him to be a great guy very up front personable and honest, which I appreciated. Long story short, he and is team did a good amount of work on this. They were extremely responsive and helpful anytime I had a question during the process. After a lot of discussion with the insurance companies in question (of which Spada Law Group handled all of this) they reached out to my mother and I, to let us know that they were able to recover some insurance money that would cover my mother's medical bills, and gave her a little something in the end, but this particular case wasn't worth a long drawn out battle, and I agreed and totally understood. They did not charge her any fees for any of the work that they did do, they paid the medical bills that was owed to my mother's medical expenses that were covered by her insurance company, and then gave her a check for the balance that was left over. I can't say enough great things about these people. Len is one of the good guys, and his staff are great friendly people as well. I would recommend him to anyone I know that need an attorney when they are in a situation like my mother was in.

Manufacturing Technology Leader

I was rear ended while stopped in traffic, and sustained a severe case of whiplash and headaches as a result. I was treated at a facility for 6 months, but the problem was not resolved. My focus shifted, due to having cancer at the time, requiring surgery and follow up procedures during the next year.... My neck problems were still quite seroius, so I sought additional treatment from another medical provider, as soon as I was able. The insurance company would not take into consideration, that my temporary lapse in treatment for whiplash, was due to another important health issue. They would not cooperate at any level. Mr. Spada and his team were terrific! His staff is knowledgeable, friendly and courteous, and their timely progress updates on my case were very comforting, during a difficult time in my life. Through extensive research, Mr. Spada cited a similar case, and presented it to the court. As a result, Mr. Spada proved that the insurance company's interpretation of the law was wrong, and the case was resolved in my favor. Many thanks to The Spada Law Group, for their outstanding service and attention to detail, on a very difficult case.

A great lawyer, an even better person

Attorney Spada has helped me in two cases. The first being my divorce and the second case being a hit and run accident. My divorce has dragged on for 10 years. During the time that I have been associated with Attorney Spada, he has provided sound advice and direction that has kept me in contact with ...my children and in the home that I own. Both situations have been "iffy" over the past decade. Attorney Spada has been a great ally, good friend, and respected litigant in all situations. He constantly checked in on my after my accident. Unlike other lawyers, he did not disappear after the case was closed. I have always been impressed by his devotion to his family AND how he treats those that work at his firm. God directs us to love all His children. Clearly Attorney Spada lives by that rule and expects those around him to do the same. If you are looking for an attorney that will answer all your questions in a timely manner, treat you with respect AND follow the letter of the law, Attorney Spada is your man.

His passion clearly demonstrates the genuine interest he has in the outcome of his client's case. He has proven to be a tireless and tenacious foe, willing to devote considerable time, effort and resources to achieve a highly favorable result for his client.
