Todd Adam Spivak

The thing that stands out most to me about Todd is the respect that he showed to me as a client. He treated me like a person and not a paycheck. At no point did he ever speak in a manner that was anything but kind, respectful and competent. He made a difficult situation a lot easier; I'm glad I ha...d the opportunity to have worked with him.

Hiring Todd Spivak has been the best move we’ve made in months, and the first time our very difficult custody case has started to move in the right direction. Mr. Spivak actually listened to what we were saying, heard our concerns for what they are, and is fighting hard for the best outcome. I’m trul...y grateful to have him in our corner. After months of frustration and numerous missteps on our part and the part of our former attorney I can’t even put into words what a relief it has been to receive knowledgeable, accurate and timely advice. The contrast between Mr. Spivak's practice and that of our former high priced downtown attorney is phenomenal. If you want to speak with your attorney rather be insulated from them and play the telephone game with underlings more than happy to mis-communicate your messages and ignore your questions, give Todd Spivak a call - he’ll actually answer.

Todd Spivak helped me through an extremely complicated case involving two girls who both filed PFAs against me for petty revenge. On top of that, one filed harassment charges. The allegations against me were detailed and seemingly unbeatable, since the two seemed to cooperate in their mission to dest...roy my reputation. Not only did Todd pick up my initial phone call at 10pm the night I found out about these ridiculous charges, he also gave me some counciling on the phone to calm me down. He met me two days later and we built a defense. What should have been a quick process was extended over six months by bungling police reports, untrue accusations of continued contact, and continued abuse of the system. Todd met with me on request every single time I needed to see him. His approach is cautious, professional, and unwavering. In the eventual two hour long criminal court case, Todd not only defended me, but completely discredited both the officer and plaintiff, resulting in a dismissal of all charges. All said and done, there were a total of three court appearances of three months; of which I won all three. Todd is an absolute Godsend in court, and his understanding, calm, tactful demeanor during counseling did a great job at hiding his complete and total ferocity in the courtroom. He called objections for me that I didn't even know I could call; all of which were sustained. The plaintiffs objections we're all overruled. For the entirety of all the trials I was in, I could count on one hand how many times I even needed to speak! If you're under attack and going to war, Todd isn't just a shield- he's a one man army. Paying a lawyer hourly would have cost me a fortune, Todd charged one fee and was with me without fail 24/7 over the entire ordeal. He returns calls and emails lightning fast, and explains each step of the process while weighing the risks with each possible outcome. By the time I had to make a decision with how to continue any particular step, my answer was a no-brainer. Without hesitation I would recommend Todd Spivak over any other lawyer- period. After six months of having to prove my innocence, I walked out of court today (without even seeing the inside of the courtroom) without any further concerns. There is absolutely no way I could thank him enough for his advice, defense, and council. During a time in my life when I seemingly was losing everything, including my previously untarnished reputation, Todd was not just a fantastic lawyer, but a great friend, and protector of my sanity. Trust me, this is the only guy you need in your corner; especially because he can keep you out of the ring altogether.

Mr Spivak has a command presence that is founded in a calm and calculated approach to the very serious matters for which he is trained to handle. From day one I knew Todd was the council I needed on my side. Never did I speak to a law clerk. Never did I wait for a return call. Never did I guess. His ...patience, confidence, and sheer professionalism in practice is evident from the first moment. I was handed a very volatile and traumatic series of events to manage. With Todd Spivak at my side I was able to preserve my rights as a father and maintain my good name in the community. Through a PFA, an emergency motion trial, and two conciliations he was there. Todd provided subjective assessment of every fact and provided me with answers to every question I asked. There was no sugar coating or making light of any aspect of my case. No part of the litigation process was fun for me being that I was forced to defend my right as a father and protect myself from fiercely egregious allegations. I owe Mr. Todd Spivak a debt of gratitude for his outstanding work as my attorney. If you are inquiring about a lawyer with family law expertise... choose Todd Spivak.

Todd was extremely helpful in resolving my case in a short amount of time. He was 100% responsive to my phone calls, emails, etc. He listened to my concerns and addressed them in a very professional and courteous manner. I would absolutely recommend him, especially if you are in an emergency Family L...aw situation.
