Extraordinary representation through horrific false allegations

During the coarse of an entrire calendar year, I was continually falsely accused of abusing my daughter in ways in which I couldn't even imagine. Subsequently, I was forced to endure an utterly flawed justice system involving false PFA's and unprofessional and incompetent CYF caseworkers. The false ...reporting also included the elementary school, peditration, and private counseling. In such an intricate and complex case, involving numerous parties, Todd sheared through nonsense and exposed the truth. Above all, through the entire process, I was never mislead, and knew exactly where I stood. In addition, I was given a sense of confidence to keep on enduring until we finished the fight. A high recommendation is an understatement. Thank you, Todd.

Extremely skilled at what he does

As an out of state defendant, I was recently faced with a PFA in Pennsylvania. With occupation as a Law Enforcement Officer and Military Reserves, the issuing of a final PFA order against me would have been career ending. After doing research online, it seemed like hiring Attorney Todd Spivak would b...e a great choice. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. After spending almost two weeks discussing the details of the PFA and sharing documents/information via phone and email, I met Attorney Spivak at the Pennsylvania court house the day of the hearing. Immediately upon arrival he began pre hearing negotiations with the Plaintiff that after about 2 hours resulted in the Plaintiff coming to an agreement that has the PFA against me essentially dismissed with no ill effects on my career, all of this without a full formal hearing. I walked into the courthouse with the possibility of termination from my employer and dishonorable discharge from the Military due to the Plaintiffs false accusations. I walked out of the courthouse vindicated and extremely grateful. Mr.Spivak's astute demeanor is a game changer. Thank you again.

Excellent Trial Lawyer

Attorney Spivak is an excellent trial lawyer who fought hard for me in Court. He always treated me with great compassion and respect. I highly recommend him for all family law and criminal defense cases.

Inspiration through an unexpected difficult situation

After a person, which I cared deeply about, filed bogus police reports and a PFA I was out of my home feeling like I had no rights. It's hard enough trying to understand what just happened let alone who to call or who to trust. I'm a big guy and that was being used against me even though I had no ...priors, I was not arrested the evening of this supposed incident, I left the home voluntarily etc. It's hard for people to understand how after so long in a relationship things can go so bad quickly and you are out looking in. The laws need to change in this area of practice because you really are guilty until proven innocent if you are accused of harassment or physical violence even if there is no evidence or proof. Once finding Mr. Spivak's website and contacting him I knew immediately by his demeanor over the phone that this may the level of competence I was seeking. I provided Mr. Spivak with all documentation I received including the police report for him to review and he asked me to explain the events of the evening in question. After reviewing the case he stated his fees and we proceeded to the PFA hearing. The case was dismissed due to a lack of evidence. We also had a Magisterial Hearing which went good as well. I provided Mr. Spivak with as much information as I could and I think the facts spoke loud and clear. It was and still is a confusing time just trying to understand how things can go so wrong but so far Mr. Spivak has been solid. He has communicated in a clear and professional manner and listens to your concerns and answers any questions you may have. I feel extremely comfortable recommending Mr. Spivak to anybody who may need to confront a similar issue.
