Expungement

I hired this attorney without meeting him. I represented myself in my expungement case. Everything was done correctly in that case but Louisiana has a loophole with expungements if the charge was amended at the time of arrest. The case took 7 months from start to finish during the pandemic but Mr. Sp...ano did keep me informed at all intervals during the process.

Pleased with his service

Rhett did exactly what he was hired to do and was very responsive and helpful via email.

Honor & Integrity

I feel that Rhett was the best attorney I have hired. He was very professional, honest with a nice personality. I loved the fact that he honored his word & I never had to call him. He kept me updated & informed at all times. The case was resolved in my favor. I appreciated his help. Thank you, Rhett!...

Felony Expungement

Rhett was great. He was super easy to work with. He went above and beyond to get my expungement done in a timely manner even during covid shutdowns.

Mr. Spano gets the job done

Mr Spano did a amazing job on my criminal case in Livingston parish. He is easy to contact and keeps you updated about your case. I would highly recommend Mr Spano.
