Professional and Competent Service

Attorney Spires worked with my family to obtain a power of attorney that we needed emergently. Not only was she patient and understanding she was very thorough. Her follow-up to ensure that we understood everything and that we were satisfied was really appreciated.

Custody Attorney

Mrs. Spires handled my custody matter. I was very happy with the representation that I received from her and her employees. I recommend her to my friends and family all the time.

Hiring Winter Spires was the Best Decision

Ms. Spires was recommended to our family by a well known family friend. We are so happy we listened to our friends. Ms. Spires was a true professional and was a pleasure to work with in our matter. Her legal knowledge was impressive. She advised us of our options in a custody dispute and was always o...ne step ahead of the my ex's attorney. Don't pass up an opportunity to have Ms. Spires in your corner!

Posted by Garrett | June 29, 2015 | Child Custody

Watching Mrs. Spires work in the court room is excellent and the reason why I recieved a very favorable outcome.

I hired Mrs. Spires law firm and did not give them very much time to prepare for my case. It was less than 48 hours actually due to a conflict from a previous attorney. They worked long hours over night preparing for a very important relocation hearing. They had done unbelievable work and found thing...s in my case that my previous attorney had not found in nine months working the case. I believed that all hope was lost in my case and that I did not have a chance. I was completely wrong with the help of Mrs. Spires work in the almost five hour hearing and all of the work preparing for the hearing. I was very very very pleased with the outcome and it was all because of the their hard work and devotion. Mrs. Spires and her firm are honest, always available, upfront and very nice to work with. This is my second child custody case and I have never been this impressed with an attorney. The only regret I have is not hiring Mrs. Spires firm a lot sooner. At the conclusion of my hearing the judge complimented Mrs. Spires as to how good of a job she had done and the opposing side was mutually impressed.

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.
