Got The Job Done!

Mr. Springer took a lot of time with me and made sure we moved forward in a manner that was best for my specific situation. He stood up for me and made sure I got what I needed in order to put my problem behind me. And he did so without running up a big bill by chasing unreal opportunities. He got... the job done and allowed me to move on with my life!

Helpful and effective

I contacted Mr. Springer because I had been contacted by a collection agency . I had stopped payment on a check to workmen who did not complete the work . Mr. Springer explained what he would do and assuaged any concerns I had. |

Attorney Springer fights hard and courageously for his clients

I had a situation in February 2015 where my job fired me because they said I failed a written test which qualifies me to do the Job. I pleaded with my employer telling them that I did pass this test and the Doctor even told me that I did. They even denied me the chance to see the test for myself. I r...eally didn't know what to do at the time until Attorney Springer came in to the situation. One of the things that struck me about him is the fact that he listens to you very intently. He really wants to get all the facts down and start piecing everything together. When I told him everything..he immediately begin to work and gather evidence. He fought and got my test results and the test clearly stated that I passed the written test that was administered to me. We had to go to 2 hearings and won... and my job even denied me unemployment benefits and Attorney Springer even fought that and won. I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone. If your considering contacting him for his services, my advice to you is this...make sure you're case stands on integrity. If you go into his office trying to feed him a bunch of lies...he can see right through you. This is an honest man who operates on Integrity.

Excellent lawyer

Mr. Springer handled my divorce case. He provide me with constant updates of my case. He assisted me through all of the necessary paperwork. I always felt like he only had my best interest in the case. Thought out the process, he was concerned, professional and supportive. A divorce is never a pl...easant experience, but Mr Springer thrived to make it bearable. I highly recommend him.

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.
