Mr. Spiegel is an excellent attorney with exceptional trial skills, having tried hundreds of cases all the way back to his days as a prosecutor. He is not afraid to take your case to trial if need be. He's a straight shooter and will tell you the strengths and weaknesses of your case. He understands the needs of domestic clients and the pains they are going through, and works hard to get you the best result possible.
