Excellent Attorney

Attorney Al Spiegel represented me during a very difficult situation. I found him to be experienced, responsive, knowledgeable and honest. While working with Al, I felt as though my situation was in reliable and trustworthy hands, and he did not steer me wrong. He is very good at explaining the law. ...Al is the consummate professional and extremely responsive. I would highly recommend Al to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep you, and your family's best interest and needs at the forefront. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from Attorney Al Spiegel again.

Forever grateful for your help...

I would like to offer my sincere thanks to Alan for the legal help that he provided me in recent court cases. When I came to Alan in December 2015 I was doing my best at representing myself in court and trying to lead a life not consumed with worry. I had two cases in court one was to stop months o...f harassment, and the other was to have my property returned to me. The stress that was removed from my life when I hired Alan Spiegel just days before Christmas allowed me to enjoy the holiday season, finish my final semester at Technical college, and to obtain a cumulative GPA of 3.97. In addition, on June 11th 2016 Alan was able to bring both of these cases to a close, and have my property returned to me. Without Alan's representation I would not have received any of the merit based Scholarships I received upon transferring to Devry University, and property that had been in my family for decades would have been lost. The integrity that Alan displayed throughout these cases was incredible, and I will forever be thankful for his guidance in these matters. I have tried to find words that express my gratitude for his help on many occasions, however words always fall short no matter how eloquently stated. For future legal services I will always look to Alan Spiegel for advice, however I pray that future legal services will be for matters such as estate planning instead of the litigation services this situation required. Sincerely, Forever a grateful client, Joshua

Fight till the end

Alan is very knowledgeable not only in regards to law, but also to each of his clients case. His response time is quick and your questions and concerns are addressed professionally and appropriately. Alan is very on top of his clients case in and out of the court room. We were very impressed and plea...sed with Alan. He puts his clients wishes first and into action!

A Devoted,Trustworthy, Hardworking,Sincere Attorney.

Mr. Spiegle is truly one of a kind! His 100% devotion to our particular case was outstanding. Mr. Spiegel stopped at nothing to make sure my daughter and I were comfortable with the information he presented us, as well as making sure we understood every angle of it. He took the time to make us feel s...afe in our journey, and feel confident the outcome would be one we'd be comfortable with. The way Mr. Spiegel broke things down for us,talked to us, and really listened to our needs and concerns was reassuring and promising. He never gave us any doubt, it was optimism and sincere empathy for my daughter and I right form the start. There was no rock left unturned in this emotional case at all. He went above and beyond the call of any attorney to be prepared and on top of things. Mr. Spiegel is not your ordinary attorney at all. He really sits and listens to you without reservations! He views things from a variety of standpoints that I believe help to make him the great attorney that he is today. He truly cares about his clients and wants the best for each of them. In this day and age, you don't see that in most attorneys. The majority of them claim you as a number or a cash income, and nothing more! Not this one.... We all had our ups and downs with this court case, and were thrown many different kinds of surprises, that left us feeling scared and unsure of things,yet Mr. Spiegel never gave up on himself or his abilities to do his best. He did just that too, he showed us a side of life that would be calming and beautiful full of no harm or fear. He proved to us that there really is a silver lining to every cloud. No more looking over our shoulders and second guessing what will take place next. It was Mr. Spiegel that helped us get our lives back in shape and it was his sincere compassion and heart felt drive for my daughters happiness and freedom that made all the difference for us. In court we ran into some very unexpected hurdles ,but Mr. Spiegel was able to use them to our advantage and turn things around for the better. He was able to improvise in the hardest of times, and adapt to the many road blocks we ran a crossed. In the end, we may not have walked away winning the entire case as we had wished for; however what we did walk away with was our freedom, our peace of mind, and our being a family once again. A feeling of closeness, love, and trust. Weeks later, my daughters life became even brighter when Mr. Speigel helped us present a name change to the court system, and she was granted the right to claim her stepfathers last name. The outcome overall was beneficial for all involved because Mr. Spiegel took the time to sit with us ,listen to us, and believe in us all the way around. His faith in us is and was the best thing that ever happened in our lives. Without his professional aspect on things,his trust and dedication to our fears and our concerns, and without his generous heart, we never would be able to speak of things today. I truly believe in my heart if it wasn't for Mr. Spiegel we wouldn't be alive today. Mr. Alan Spiegel is a fantastic attorney, one who will touch the lives of those he comes in contact with, and one who will not leave you disappointed! I whole heartedly recommend this gentleman as a representative to anyone. He does an amazing job.
