Worthless

He never set up a court hearing. He NEVER EVER GOT BACK TO KYKY. She is still waiting on a return call from Jan It's March. She got a bench warrant He did nothing. She did nothing to deserve it. She has not gotten a hold of her yet. Been in JAIL 4 DAYS SO FAR. WORTHLESS

MIA (court appointed)

AWFUL. I could never get a hold of him, there was no communication and 100% believe my case was a loss because of him. WORST lawyer ever, how he is in practice is beyond me. TYPO on the stars - 0 stars as the rating.

Mr. Spears, an excellent professional attorney.

Mr. Spears is an attorney who provides professional and sound counsel on the behalf of his clients. He looks out for the best interests of his clients, as he takes his job very seriously. He does not sell his clients out!!! If you need an excellent attorney, you need Ronald Scott Spears. I would ...hire Atty. Spears again without a second thought and will refer his services to anyone in need of sound professional counsel.

Used to be a great attorney but has been doing terribly for the last several years!

I have personally referred several people to this attorney as there was a time when he was on of the best in his field. The quality of work when Mr. Spears was representing me would charitably be described as substandard. The quality of work I have seen for those I referred to Mr. Spears was absolu...tely terrible. It saddens me to say this as Mr. Spears was once a shining star in his field, but I would never employ him again.
