Douglas Evan Spiegel

I have personally hired Douglas Spiegel to represent me and my business on various legal issues that included high level corporate negotiations. His tenacity along with his consistent follow through, and being well versed and ready to fight for my rights truly helped me on my cases that all ended wit...h high success. I have also referred Doug to represent a few family members who really needed a good lawyer. One who could navigate the Lee County criminal justice system and ensure they received top notch defense attorney services. If you or anyone you know is in need of one the best Lee county lawyers then you should call Doug.

I hired Doug to represent me. He was very personal at the beginning but as we went through the process it became apparent he was not fighting for me. I even provided further information for him to legally advance my cause but he chose not to. I knew I was in trouble then. Then the prompt communicatio...n became less and less. Then my bill came and was well beyond the retainer I gave to him. At the beginning he told me the firm would communicate to me when it was used up. Not the case. Then he lied about it. Not accountable. Eventually he cut me loose. I think he saw it was going to be too much work. Did not fight for me. I do not think he is honest. Do your homework before you choose him.

• When I handed thousands of dollars to Mr. Spiegel for retainer in June 2016, he proceeded to do whatever he wanted or did not want to do. Face to face he appears competent but once leaving his office there was no follow through, he and his staff were unprofessional and lacked legal knowledge. Mr. S...piegel did not return over 90% of phone my calls or emails - I was left in the dark as he failed me and my case… my hands were tied once retaining him. I fired Mr. Spiegel in November 2016 due to the overwhelming and extensive damage done to my case. This included misfiling with the courts, wrongful advisement for deposition, extending my case against my wishes/without consultation, missing case management deadlines “he” had authorized, acting on his own volition, ignored my refusal for closing conflict at opposing counsel’s office, not reviewing closing documents costing me thousands, left me in the middle of my deposition for personal reasons, non-preparation for court, non-preparation for Plaintiff’s deposition, and refusing to seek pertinent information which would resolve opposing conflicts in the case. As my lawyer, Mr. Spiegel did not inform me of my rights to whatsoever to an appeal when the judge conflicted his own prior orders he had set forth. To this day, I am still stuck in a case Mr. Spiegel extended that has no end in site because of he took it upon himself to sign a new case management with the opposing counsel without my authorization, against my wishes and without speaking to me about it as required by the judge. Once you hire an attorney you have no rights – only your counsel is heard and this one will do whatever he wants. I am still to this day tied up in litigation thanks to Doug Spiegel.

Hired attorney Spiegel for a divorce. He decided to keep the money given to him and also ask me for some more!! Didn't even know what case he was on! Not have witnesses or have proof of anything that was needed in court. Not ask other side important information about my case and not ask the right qu...estions. Even though I had ALL the proof in the world he decided not to bring in or read it!! The other side has NO proof!! I mean NONE!! I was in the right!!! All he cares about is money! He is very misleading! He comes in late too and does not care about you! All the answers he's giving to people that say negative things about him is because he knows he was wrong!! And has to put an answer! I cant wait till he answers me! I got all the proof!

Doug Spiegel and his staff fought hard for me. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined for more than 2 years in court. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured by Doug and his amazing staff. ...My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained at any time. Doug Spiegel fought hard for me and my daughter rights. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a wonderful outcome, being father himself he was able to relate to my case even better. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer, very professional and prepare during court and the trial. His experience with Child Support and Child Custody were just brilliant. Doug’s experience in psychology cases, specially dealing in court with cases that involved multiple personalities disorders, he was able to help me to recuperate money that was taken away from my daughter and to get a full custody for my child. My daughter , my family and myself will be always grateful to Doug and all his wonderful staff.
