Felony set-aside
Spencer was a huge help in my case. I had to move from my home with my family due to the sex offender registry. He was successfully able to have a CSC 4th degree conviction set-aside. I listened to and followed his advice at every turn and he did not disappoint. I am grateful for his help in reunifying my family. You will not go wrong with trusting him with your expungement.

Assistance with Misdemeanor - Expired Insurance
I had the pleasure of working with Spencer from Bondy Law, PLLC recently, and I must say, the experience was absolutely outstanding. Prior to reaching out to Spencer, I was facing a ticket for expired insurance on my vehicle, and needless to say, it was causing me a great deal of stress. Spencer represented me in Livingston County, and I couldn't have made a better choice. What stood out to me was the personal attention and care I received right from the start. I chose Spencer over other attorneys because of their excellent reputation in Livingston County, and they lived up to every expectation. From the moment I reached out, Spencer was incredibly responsive and attentive. He took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all of my questions in a way that put my anxiety at ease. Spencer provided me with a clear plan of action and outlined every step of the process from day one, ensuring that I was well-informed throughout. Working with Spencer was a breath of fresh air. Their openness, expertise, and knowledge were truly impressive. I felt confident in their ability to handle my case and navigate the legal system effectively. And they delivered beyond my expectations. Thanks to Spencer's exceptional skills, my charge was significantly reduced from a misdemeanor driving without insurance to a small fine. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Spencer knew exactly how to approach the situation and provided me with the necessary instructions and tools to achieve a positive result. It's safe to say that their knowledge and experience made all the difference. Since achieving this outcome, my life has changed for the better. I can finally move on and put this situation behind me. The peace of mind I have now is invaluable, and I owe it all to Spencer and their outstanding representation. Throughout the entire process, communication with Spencer was top-notch. They were always accessible and kept me updated every step of the way. I never felt left in the dark or unsure about what was happening. Spencer made sure I knew exactly what I needed to do, and their guidance was invaluable. In conclusion, I can't recommend Spencer highly enough. If you're in need of legal representation in Livingston County, look no further. Spencer is not only a local attorney with excellent reviews, but he also possesses the expertise, responsiveness, and communication skills that make him truly exceptional. Thank you, Spencer, for resolving my case with such professionalism and care.

Felony Dismissed and Sobriety Court License w/2nd OUI
I chose Mr. Bondy after calling a couple defense attorneys because he was confident in himself and clearly informed me of what my options were facing a felony possession of controlled substances-analogues and Operating While Intoxicated in Sterling Heights, Oakland County, MI. I am a resident of a different town in Oakland County - and through his hard work, he was able to transfer my case to the town I resided in, but not before getting Sterling Heights to drop the potential felony possession charge. With my 2nd DUI, I was facing a revoked license for a minimum of a year and again, through his care and hard work - he saw to it that I obtained the one and only exception to driving - being enrolled in sobriety court and receiving a restricted license. Through Mr. Bondy's hard work, professionalism, expertise and dedication to his profession, he achieved everything he had promised me that he would fight for. God forbid in legal trouble happen again but if it were, he would be the first and only attorney I would call to represent me again. I will also be recommending Mr. Bondy to anyone I encounter facing legal trouble as I have full confidence in his skills as an attorney. He has a very bright future ahead of him as an attorney. Thank you Mr. Bondy.

Felony Expungement
Spencer Bondy of Bondy Law,PLLC is fantastic. He got my Felony expunged after over a decade of living with a felony from teen years. I can finally say I'm a free man again thanks to Spencer. It still dosnt feel real. He always awnsered the phone, helped me understand any questions I had and thoroughly explained the process. Spencer was also very personal and he dosnt forget small details. Having had other lawyers in the past, it was like comparing apples to oranges on how professional and personal he is. It was like walking into the court room with a good friend and I'll never be able to thank him and his team enough for what they did for me. Thanks again Spencer!

Couldn’t ask for a better attorney
I was pulled over for a suspected OUI in Brighton MI by the Livingston County Sheriff's department. The police officer said that I had swerved into his lane, crossing over the double yellow lines. Once I passed the field sobriety, I refused to take a breathalyzer, and he took me to jail to test my blood for alcohol. I was released on bond the next day and was referred to Spencer Bondy. I chose to go with Spencer after he was recommended by a family member. I then did my own research and decided he would be the right fit for me.  Since I refused to take the breathalyzer, I was facing both a suspended license and an OUI. He helped me get my temporary license while we were awaiting the court date so I could still work and do everyday activities. He reviewed all of the videos and documents on my case extensively to assure the best outcome. He got both my suspended license and OUI completely dropped. Spencer was able to sift through every step that was made during the experience and found all of the mistakes that were made by the officer. He took the time to make sure I had the best possible outcome, not just a quick plead the case down and move on. He really cared. There were no points added to my license, my insurance did not go up, and I was able to continue working. During my whole time with Spencer, he was always in contact with me and let me know of any updates as soon as he received them. He helped me understand everything that was happening with my case as it was happening. He was available every time I contacted him and he always thoroughly answered my questions. I couldn't recommend anyone more than Spencer.

You have found the BEST attorney out there!
Attorney Spencer Bondy represented me at Novi 52nd district court, he went above and beyond to fight false accusations portrayed against me. In my case he was a court appointed attorney, and it was like a guardian angel was sent to me. I have no idea what my case would have been if i would have gotten anyone else! Spencer Bondy convinced me to fight for this and I’m so happy i decided to, he truly saved my professional life, these accusations would have ruined my career. When i got the news that my case had been dismissed the day before trail i was crying tears of joy. If you need anything hire Spencer Bondy!! He’s incredible and I don’t know where I would be right now without him.

Superb Representation Second to None
Spencer did a simply brilliant job setting aside prior offenses from my record. He was attentive to every detail, thoroughly prepared every step of the way, quickly responsive to any concerns, comprehensive and thoughtful in his legal briefs, and ready to go the extra mile when needed. While other lawyers were convinced that one of the offenses was not expungeable, Spencer did his research and applied brilliant legal analysis to set a new legal precedent for such cases. With his excellent representation, I felt at ease in the courtroom, even in front of notoriously challenging judges. Spencer was also reasonable and upfront in his rates and genuinely wishes to give his clients the best representation possible. He is energetic, highly competent, and worth the investment if you can’t afford to fail in handling your expungement matter.

Compassionate Professional Attorney
Mr. Bondy is not your typical attorney. He is compassionate, empathic, non judgmental, professional, well connected, and will go the extra mile for you. He genuinely cares about you and everything that relates to your situation. Mr. Bondy carefully explained to me step-by-step how my case would proceed, and it transpired exactly how he told me. There were no surprises. His fees are also very reasonable compared to others that I contacted. On a side note, I met him while he was doing pro bono work which says a lot. I can't say enough good things about him.

Expungement and Return of Gun Rights
Dear Spencer, I want to express my appreciation on getting my 2 50 year old misdemeanors expunged. Till I talked to you I wasn`t able to ascertain any information from personal research or another lawyer I temporarily engaged that gave me any confidence I was proceeding along the right path to get my gun rights back. Being located in Traverse City I finally realized I needed a lawyer that was a gun rights specialist and closer to the the districts where my offenses occurred.When I first contacted you, you provided me with clear distinct answers and what I considered a reasonable firm price. Frankly, I wondered how it was I wasted a year and a half going around in circles. Your professionalism was appreciated and keeping me informed at the critical junctures kept my faith that everything was continuing in the right direction. Thanks again. Sincerely yours, Gary Sevakis

Best In The Business!
Spencer Bondy is an amazing Lawyer! I retained spencer because of a operating while intoxicated charge. He went above and beyond what any other lawyer would do. Anytime I had a question or concern he would pick up the phone right away, or call me back immediately. Many lawyers just have one way of doing things. However Spencer was adaptive, he listened to my concerns and made a game plan accordingly. This resulted In an extremely favorable outcome. I can’t even imagine going through my case with out Spencer as my lawyer. I will forever recommend him to anyone I know.

Finally, a lawyer who cares!
Spencer got me out of a traffic ticket from when I was driving during a snowstorm and slid on an unplowed, icy road through a red light. The officer would not cut me any slack - even with a perfect driving record. Rather than paying the ticket, I gave Spencer a call. He was extremely helpful in helping me understand what I needed to do and handled the courts for me so I would not have to take any time off of work. Extremely kind and caring, he called me every time he had an update to make sure I knew exactly what was going on and any possible outcomes. He saved me from getting points on my license, paying insurance increases, and kept my driving record clean! He’s a great guy, very professional, and genuine. I would recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney for any similar matters. 5/5 stars, I will definitely call him if anything like this ever happens to me again.

You have found the BEST lawyer!
Where do I start! First of all, if you were like me, and found yourself in need of a lawyer, and had absolutely no idea who to use, LOOK NO FURTHER! I started looking for a lawyer under the catagory that I needed help in, and I wanted to have one close to my town of South Lyon. There were zillions! I went to the reviews, and Spencer Bondy blew most of the other lawyers away! I called, and He answered!! I Immediately felt like he was going to work hard for me. He was honest about his fee, and if you have every heard the saying, "you get what you pay for", it is so very true with Spencer. He was able to get my charge lowered , and in the end NO probation, and NO community service. I never thought this was possible, and I should have never doubted that Mr.Bondy would work so hard for this outcome! My sentencing was a small fee, and TOTAL PEACE OF MIND, AND FREEDOM! He is respected by everyone at the 52-1st District court in NOVI. He is respectful to you and your family. His communication is spot on and one thing that I will never forget is, he makes you feel like you have a chance, that everyone makes mistakes, and EVERYONE can overcome them!!! I let this entrie experience consume me, and I leaned on Spencer to help. I am thrilled with the outcome! Mr. Spencer Bondy you are my Hero! Truly

You need legal help? you need Spencer!!!
About 20 years ago, I had been going through some things that got me into some trouble, ever since then I've been trying to find ways to get my life back, I talked to several other lawyers (who seemed to have no clue about the laws or related issues I was having). Then I found Spencer while looking for an expungement lawyer, JackPot, not only did he take care of the expungement, but also a couple of other things that came up in the process, he took care of those too. We talked about what could and would't get done, every thing he said he could do, he did. I can't say enough good things about Spencer, I will say, if I ever need legal help again, Spencer is who I'll call.

Excellence at its Best
I’m writing in regards of Mr. Spencer Bondy and his professionalism as a lawyer. I needed a lawyer to expunge 3 felonies from 30 plus years ago, which haunted me throughout my life. I searched the internet for attorneys and liked Mr. Bondy’s site. When I called him, he seemed pleasant and honest. The results were, he won my cases in Michigan. He is very responsive, honest, caring and very intelligent at his profession. I would recommend him to anybody. John

Thorough, Mindful, and Smart DUI Attorney
Spencer went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to my DUI case. He takes the time to develop a strong understanding of a client's situation and then combines this with great knowledge of what the court/judges are looking for. I was expecting a significant jail sentence but instead had the option of avoiding jail time. Spencer thoughtfully and meticulously created a sentencing memorandum pre-trial (which many other attorneys do NOT do), which materially moved the judge to go easier on my sentencing. I will continue to recommend Spencer to anyone who will listen - this is a man with the plan who will help you the most. One of the best decisions I've made in the last several years is going with Mr. Bondy.

Faced with an uphill battle
You would have thought that working with an attorney on a case that was over 30 years old, from across the country, on a felony VOP in superior court that included a bench warrant would have been stressful and problematic. However, I could not have asked better representation. Spencer Bondy was not only well connected in the circuit my case was out of (Pontiac, MI) but he kept me well informed throughout the process. Not only was my case dismissed, but it also ended with me having no conviction on my record. After 30+ years of this case hanging over my head I cannot describe the weight that has been lifted off my shoulders. When you are facing an up-hill battle and the odds are against you in a court room you want the best! There is no one better to call than Spencer Bondy. You are my champion!!! My sincere thanks and gratitude always.
