Strong client advocate

Mike represented me in a civll suit involving an inheritance. He is a strong advocate, very knowledgeable, and highly intelligent. I was pleased with the outcome of my case, and would recommend Mike to others.

Mr. Speck did a great job for me!!

I hired Mr. Speck on the recommendation of another police officer. I have to say it worked out great. Not only did I not get Lifetime Alimony, my ex didn't get my pension. I have seen many other divorced Police officers get lifetime alimony (when married the same amount of time I was) and also lose h...alf their pension. since hiring Mr. Speck I have recommended him to three of my friends who have also been very satisfied. I have to say Mr. Speck is a very aggressive attorney and he knows how to get things done. A+ for me!!!

He really Helped!

Mr. Speck has helped me with not only my Morgatge issues but helped my wife's buisness as well as delt with employment situations that helped me get a job. He and his staff are a Class Act and I would recommend that anyone who is in need of someone who will give it to you straight, work hard and be u...pfront with you use him.

Been through some lawyers, but sat in court quite often and watched a lot of lawyers. Mike was one of the best Ive seen and had.

Michael Speck, although we shared a difference of opinion at the end of him representing me, has to be one of the most aggressive attorneys I have ever used. As a result of me having a crazy ex who is the mother of my daughter and in tight with local police Mike Speck has successfully went to trial (...no plea agreements for me) a number of hearings both in municipal court from harassment(crazy x) , traffic violations (crazy x and police) to DUI's from local police ( my fault because crazy x), superior court (crazy x) pertaining to DYFS matters(crazy x) and family court (crazy x). He has even brought cases all the way to the supreme court for me. He has clarified issues with my daughters Dr. offices as well as issues I was having with my daughters school. He even went far enough to work with me despite my limited income. He is one of those hard hitting lawyers that are portrayed in major movies, but is the real deal. I recommended a neighbor to him just recently. Hopefully people wont need a lawyer in their life, but if you do, call Mike Speck. (Don't hold anything back though. Tell him everything truthfully. Let him do his job.)

"I highly endorse this lawyer. Mr. Speck is one of the most experienced, well versed, and knowledgeable lawyers I have had the pleasure of knowing. He is beyond qualified to handle a wide variety of legal matters and will always do so with a sharp mind and as a strong advocate. I would surely want him in my corner if I required legal representation. Beyond that, he adds a component of compassion that is well recognized and appreciated by those who he assists."
