Fraud, Incompetent Attorney

I SUED Mr. SPENCER IN FEDERAL COURTS FOR INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL - Spencer pointed a pistol at me for reasons related to the US Governments alleged involvement and possible cover-up during 9-11

Blessing from God.

Mr. Spencer kept me informed with every action taken. He educated me on all legal terms and processes as my case went on so that I felt involved in my process. He is considered part of my family and he has our complete trust.
