Attorney at law

Richard Spears is an amazing attorney that i ve had the pleasure of knowing in the last 12 years ! trusted him with my sons life who has a medical condition that few care or understand to know. I discovered that he is a man of God and this was his gift being an attorney to help the public going throu...gh legal issues. As he has stated to me, i want to help Good People that accidentally gets themselves in trouble. I never forgot that statement and treasured it cause i know now he meant every word of it. I also know now God brought him into my life to protect my precious son. He was very professional, caring about our situation, answered questions so we could understand legal issues at handand has been there for us when needed. i have also recommended him to everyone i know and they too have used him and the results were the same for them as it was for me. i too run my own businesses and am glad to know that hes on my side as well. Im so thankful for Mr. Spears and his firm. i can say so much more. if you would like to email me concerning Richard Spears id be honored to comply. Hes earned my trust and others too. Karen

Avvo Rating

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.
