10/10

Spears is top tier when it comes to his knowledge of the law and especially criminal defense. He is steadfast and committed to each and every case that comes through his door. I personally don’t know what I would have done without him in my corner as well as friends and family who have retained Mr. ...Spears. If he does not answer a call it is because he is committed to what is in front of him and he will treat each client as if it were himself in their shoes.

10/10

Mr Spears is the best lawyer in my opinion. i was charged with capital charges in 2019 and Mr Spears worked very hard and around the clock to get everything dismissed. i recommend him a 10/10. He is very professional and genuine.

The absolute best!!

I hired Richard on the back side of my case. I was very nervous and leery of having to get a new lawyer. Hiring Richard is the best decision I have ever made!! He is an exceptional attorney. He gets absorbed in his cases, he has compassion for his clients, he is willing to listen and he knows the law...!!! After our consultation I knew I was in the best of hands!!

Awesome lawyer

I was referred by a friend to hire Mr. Spears and at that time I was on federal probation and pick up another case in Lafayette municipal court. He got in touch with my probation officer and the push the court date back until I got off probation. Then Richard showed up in Lafayette courthouse and the... case drop because the statute of limitations ran out. He is the man!

I am not your lawyer and never have been, sir. You have asked me to represent you and not done what I required to undertake your representation. Asking me to take your case and giving me a subpar review to get me to take your case as blackmail, to which I will not succumb. A this point I do not understand why you would beg a lawyer you have given a poor review of to take your case. Please move on.
