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.

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.

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 am glad I could help your company, Amica, with your debt dispute. It was a pleasure to represent your company and I wish you success in the future!

Very knowledgeable and responsible!

I am extremely happy with the service that Alan is providing for me and my family. Alan is a very responsible and knowledgeable attorney i ever had! He always answered all of my different questions in a very professional and timely matter. On top of that all of the answers have been right on target ...as he guided me and my fiancée through our very important and tedious process. When I emailed or texted him after hours in the evening as well as weekends including Sunday he has responded on the same day which in my opinion is extremely unheard of. I have recommend this attorney to my friend and they all were all satisfied and happy with Alan!

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!

  • 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.
