Professional and courteous service

My case spanned the course of three years, and yet, the team remained in contact and prompt with responses and requests (of which, I had many during that timeframe). This often made it feel like I, and my case, was of utmost importance to the firm. I was treated with dignity and respect throughout th...e entire process. I am forever grateful to have had Alan leading me through this; I truly felt he was “in my corner”, fighting right alongside me, through the entirety of my ordeal. With this firm checking all of the necessary boxes (professional, empathetic, responsive, tenacious), I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal assistance.

You will get the support you need.

If you’re looking for an attorney that puts people I front of dollars, look no further. Alan wasn’t going to retire by working on my case but his genuine interest in helping do the right thing led to a fair outcome for all parties involved. He and his office spent a lot more time than I thought would... be required. They were incredibly patient and professional. This was the first time I had ever hired an attorney. Should the need ever arise again, Alan would be my absolute starting point for consultation or hiring when applicable.

Great lawyer

After hiring Alan he excellently handled my case. After waiting one year to file a claim for a car accident he was always quick to respond to any questions I had and was open and honest with me about my case. His office hours were very convenient for my work schedule and his staff was always pleasan...t to work with.

A Lawyer you can trust

I was in a serious car accident last year. I reached out to Alan Spivak and he guided me through the process every step of the way. He and his staff communicated with me directly and made sure I knew exactly what was going on. He was extremely patient through all of my questions and concerns and i...s the consummate professional. From the hospital and through physical therapy, I was grateful to be represented by someone that cared about my well-being as well as my case. When it came time for settlement, I received more money than I could have on my own because of his experience. I was able to get through the accident, back into good health, and settle well beyond my expectations. I couldn't have done any of this on my own and I am grateful that he represented me. If I ever need a lawyer again, I will reach out to Alan because I know he has my best interests in mind.

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.

"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.
