No show

This guy took 3 years on a case that should of took one and just as we wher almost done with the case he completely became unresponsive. Called and left several emails over 3 months and nothing. Finally gave up and started the bar complaint and hired a new lawyer.

Excellent Customer Service

I used The Spence Law Firm at a very difficult time in my life and I couldn’t have been any happier. Richard and the entire staff went above and beyond the exceed every request. I don’t think I could’ve picked a better team. Great job! 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

He made my life easier

I was dealing with a very complicated Family Law case and found Mr. Spence out of luck. I didn't have much money and when contacting him he made me feel at ease. He stood by me and kept me informed the entire time. I've always gotten the impression that attorneys were all about their bank account. We... worked the hiring details out and he committed himself to the entire divorce and child sharing process. My case was appeals multiple times and unfortunately took years to resolve. He never let me down or made me feel he like he was all about the money. He is compassionate and understanding. AND he still takes my calls even though my case is closed. After all of the time and effort he put in - it paid off !!! He is a great attorney. I have sent multiple people his way and I would definitely hire him again!

Very professional and responsive

When I was at very low point in my life. I contacted Mr. Spence to help me with my divorce. Mr. Spence was able to give me a free initial consultation where he answered all of my questions. He ultimately ended up representing me and my ex-wife in our divorce which saved us a lot of lawyer fees (e.g.... only need one lawyer opposed to separate lawyers) and negotiating fees. In the end, our divorce was settled and my ex-wife and I walked away feeling like we got everything that we wanted at a fair price. I highly recommend Mr. Spence should you find yourself in need of a divorce attorney.

Excellent Service

I have worked with several attorneys. After a year of failed attempts through the courts Mr. Specnce stepped in and closed my case with more than what I expected. He worked timely and unlike many attorneys in the past, he was very responsive by phone and email, many times after hours. He immediately... started working on my concerns showing concern for my family and I.
