Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Spatz handed a criminal matter for me. I found him to be a consummate professional who not only took pride in his work but also cared about the outcome of the proceedings. He was easy to get hold of and always returned my phone calls promptly. His advice and court action were always based in fact... and tempered by financial practicalities. The outcome of the court proceedings was a total success. I can recommend him without qualification to anyone who needs assistance with a legal matter.

Excellent attorney!!!

About 6 years ago I was was faced with a very serious legal issue, and was advised to meet with Russell Spatz. We met and discussed the events, I retained him, and within a few days the matter was dispatched to my benefit. A tad expensive but could not be happier!!!!

The Best Criminal Attorney

We hired Mr. Spatz to defend our son in a domestic violence case. During our initial consultation, Mr. Spatz explained everything in detail, including ways to resolve this case in an expedited manner. He kept us apprised at all times. He won the case in an "expedited manner". We could not be ha...ppier with his representation.

"ONE OF, IF NOT THE BEST"

Russell Spatz, where do I even begin? I could write a whole article and then some about how good he is. I will instead tell you plain and simple, this man is very dedicated and passionate about what he does and that's what sets him apart from the rest. He has the experience, reputation and expertise ...to get the job done, and get the job done he does!
