Posted by Peter | August 01, 2015 | Personal Injury

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.

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.

Business

I had a problem with this landlord with negotiating the lease, and my friend advised me to get this lawyer,Alan. When I first saw him, I thought he looked young and inexperienced. But within two days, he solved all of my problems. I would recommend this lawyer to everyone.

Thank you Bexruz. I am glad I proved you wrong by representing you successfully in your lease negotiations. However, as far as the young comment, while I am not young by any stretch of the imagination, I do owe the appearance to my mother's genetics!!!! =-)

Posted by Amica | July 29, 2013 | Debt Settlement

Fast settlement and very good at communicating details of the case

Mr. Spivak helped our company settle a case. We owed money to another party, and Mr. Spivak helped settle for less than half of the original amount. He was very thorough in gathering facts and documents before negotiations. Alan was great at staying on top of back-and-forth communication during the n...egotiation process. He laid out all the facts, and made several recommendations on how to proceed with our case. Mr. Spivak negotiated for less than half of the original amount owed, and we are very happy with the outcome.

"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."

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.
