The Real Top Dog

From day one Attorney Springer was on top of everything and he returned every call in a timely manner. He's an attorney that really cares about his clients and the outcome of their case.

Excellent Service

Mr Springer was an excellent lawyer in every way. He provided help for me regarding my divorce, and he was exceptionally patient, understanding of the law, friendly, and empathetic to all parties. He was super helpful and knowledgeable every step of the way, and always willing to talk about any parti...cular detail no matter how complicated. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

Mr. Springer was very understanding and walked me through the process we were involved in assuring that I understood each step and kept me up to date on any change or action. He is someone you can feel very comfortable with and confident that your legal concern is getting the attention and expertise... needed.

Mr. Springer handled my case with utmost professionalism. He kept me informed as to the process and procedures that would take place. His experience as a former police officer and now a lawyer proved to be a great asset. His guidance gave me confidence throughout the entire process.

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.
