Best experience ever

Let's be honest. Most people find themselves in interesting situations that may require legal counsel. In most cases, you do not know what to expect. This was my situation. BUT luckily, I was introduced to Deyka Spencer. By far, my expectations were exceeded. The communication between us was frequ...ent and clear. She really cared about what I experienced. She was there for any and every question I had....AND she listened to me. That Was Very important. It was like this from start until the end. At the end, i was more than happy and satisfied. I wholeheartedly recommend Deyka Spencer and The Spencer Firm for any and all of tour legal needs. "Deyka, I truly thank you for all of your assistance and guidance". To all potential clients, you can not do any better than Deyka Spencer and the Spencer Firm.

Excellent, Professional and Responsive.

I called Ms. Spencer for help with an employment related issue. I separated from my former employer (wish I'd had Deyka review the separation agreement) and started my own business. Long story short the company accused me of several things, including stealing company information. They sent me a ce...ase and desist letter which Deyka reviewed for me and provided counsel. I had her respond in writing as well as speak to their General Counsel. With her help, I prevailed. They backed off and I haven't heard a peep from them since. If I have any other legal issues, I'll definitely call her again.

I had three cases going on at the same time with Ms. Deyka Williams as my lawyer. First she had these cases spaced out so we could deal with one case at a time. Driving with expired license was reduced to just $50.00 fine after she pushed me to renew my license before the hearing. The sentence for ...DUI was reduced to unsupervised probation after her excellent presentation.. Finally an assault charge was dismissed when it became clear from her argument that I was the victim. Knowing that I had to travel out of State for these hearings she was very generous with her fees and also did a lot of research herself without me. I would recommend her and do from time to time to anyone in need of a lawyer. Thanks.

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.
