Not very professional

It saddens me to do this after reading such positive reviews about Mr. Spivak but I can only speak from my experience. And it's been a terrible one. First off in the four mths that my case has been worked on by Mr. Spivak's office I've never had the opportunity to speak with him. He's never called me... to talk. I've only been dealing with his paralegal. And that interaction is through text only(no calls accepted) then at times I don't even get a response to my texts til days later. I've been in and accident before similar to way jus happen recently and the law firm I hired were very professional and responded in a timely manner. This is the worst experience I've ever had and will not be sending anyone I know to Alan Spivak

I am unaware of who this "client" is. I keep my lines of contact open via phone, text, email and voicemail and respond same day if not promptly thereafter. As many of my clients can speak of, I often meet and communicate in evenings, weekends and on holidays as well. Without specifics on this comment and without even identifying who the reviewer name is, I am highly suspect of the originality and contents of this review. As this "mystery person" put it, the other reviews speak loudly of my passion, character and promptness.

Very knowledgable and professional.

Alan exceeded all expectations for me and even came to visit me at Surgical ICU at my request right after the accident happened. From the beginning of my case, I knew Alan was not just a lawyer in a suit, but a human who listened and cared, and above all was an excellent attorney handling my case. ...Unfortunately, my case involved being hit by a driver who ran from the scene, which caused me 10 broken ribs, a broken collar bone, and multiple head injuries. Alan's expertise in not just the legal sense, but in medical terminology surprised me as I have never seen an attorney being able to grasp the legal and medical fields so well. Alan treated my case as not just another file in his caseload, but an event which will impact me for the rest of my life, as shown by his responsiveness during the day, night, and even weekends. If you're looking for an attorney that's honestly there for you and will fight for you, then call Alan. You'll have an attorney fights for every dollar you deserve. Thank you Alan, for being there for me, and fighting for the policy limit maximum that you secured for me.

Great attorney and is easy to communicate with, like a friend.

Alan took a very minimal impact car accident case, in a parking lot which was at a very low speed, and turned it in to a five figure case. Although the insurance company fought saying it was small impact and no injury occurred, he still successfully settled the case for me when no other attorney wou...ld.

CAR ACCIDENT SETTLEMENT

ALAN TOOK MY CASE WHICH INVOLVED A SERIOUS INJURY TO MY ROTATOR CUFF REQUIRING SURGERY, IN ADDITION TO OTHER ADDITIONAL INJURIES TO MY NECK AND BACK. AMAZINGLY ENOUGH WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR CASE EVEN WITHOUT A POLICE REPORT DOCUMENTING THE CAR ACCIDENT. NOT ONLY DID HE ASSIST ME WITH GUIDANCE AL...ONG THE WAY FOR RECOVERY, BUT HE ALSO RETURNED MY CALLS AND TEXSTS THE SAME DAY--SOMETHING I DO NOT EXPECT FROM ANY ATTORNEY THESE DAYS. WHILE UNFORTUNATELY THIS EVENT WAS A TRAUMATIC INJURY, THE RESULT ENDED WITH A LARGE FINANCIAL RECOVERY EXTREMELY QUICKLY DUE TO ALAN'S DILIGENCE AND PREPARATION. IT WAS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH ALAN AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYBODY INJURED IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT.

More than satisfied

I feel very fortunate to have been represented by Mr. Spivak. I asked for his advice after the insurance company of the driver at fault had not accepted full liability. He dealt with my case superbly; he was patient, kind, generous and – what is equally important – very knowledgeable and efficient.... He kept me updated about everything and never left me in the dark. Each step he took was highly professional and ethical. Ultimately, he obtained a result that was above the one I could expect. In my professional activities and beyond, I have interacted with quite a few attorneys and can honestly say that Mr. Spivak deserves the best possible recommendations. I will definitely recommend him to friends.

"I endorse this lawyer. Alan Spivak is an extremely dedicated and diligent attorney. I could write paragraphs about his abilities, but the best complement a lawyer can get from another lawyer is a case referral - and I regularly give Alan's name to my clients who have a need for a personal injury or immigration attorney. This guy is top notch."

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.
