Knowledgeable, professional and caring - the best lawyer.

Almost 3 years ago I was in a bad car accident on my first day of work. I was in the middle of 9 cars and was hurt. I had to have some physical and psychological treatment. I decided to get an attorney, as I understood that my case was complicated and I wanted to have someone that would have my best ...interest in mind. From the very beginning, Alan Spivak made himself available to answer any questions and made sure I understood the process. I didn’t have to worry about medical bills and could just concentrate on my treatments and recovery. I admire his professionalism and knowledge of the field as I felt the insurance companies were taking my case seriously. Also he was very personable and could explain to me in simple words everything that was going on with the case keeping me included, which made me feel like an important client. We’ve recently settled the case and it was a success, I don’t think I could have done it with any other attorney than Alan Spivak. If you’re looking for someone that cares and that would represent your interests in the best possible way, he’s your guy!

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.

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.

DUI & Weapon Felony Case

I couldn’t have been more pleased with the way Mr. Spivak handled my case. This was a tough situation involving a DUI charge along with a felony weapon charge. Through his experience, his extensive knowledge of court procedures, and his vigorous advocacy of my character and my rights, he was able t...o negotiate an aggressive plea bargain and have both charges dropped to simple misdemeanors; he also pursued my interests during sentencing and approached the judge, influencing him to minimize my fines and sanctions to an incredibly low level. Throughout the whole process, he saved me a lot of time and money and provided me with legal and moral support and made me feel confident in an out of the courtroom. He also followed-up with me to ensure I am buttoned-up on the post-sentencing process. I am also confident that if this case had to go to trial, he would have defended me fiercely and I would definitely retain him should I need any counsel in the future. If you are looking for serious representation and an attorney who will fight for you efficiently while keeping you informed of all expectations, you owe it to yourself to contact him at once.

Thank you for the kind commentary. Your case was definitely serious considering the felony gun charge in association with the DUI. Most importantly, you did not serve any jail time and walked away with minimal fines, which was the goal you intended. It was a pleasure to represent you in your matter!

Honest, hardworking lawyer.

Alan Spivak was a great lawyer and person to have on my side after I was cited for Paraphernalia. I am applying for professional school so it was something I couldn't have on my record. Alan was extremely honest and helpful throughout the stressful process. He was able to put my anxiety to rest by... promptly answering all my questions with great professionalism. My case was eventually dismissed and Alan handled my expungement papers the day of the dismissal. I would recommend Alan to anyone needing a caring, trustworthy, professional lawyer. Thanks for everything!

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.
