Highly recommend

Hired Mr Spears last year when my ex wife tried to dissolve my current marriage. Ex took me to court this year for child custody. Went to court, Mr Spears showed style, grace, compassion and humor. I still have my children. Mr Spears kept in contact throughout the year, up to our court date. He... even called on Saturday to see how we are doing. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone needing family services. Definitely a 5/5.

Life Changing!!

Don and his staff had such a vast and in depth knowledge of family law that the word impressive does not do them justice. They communicated frequently with updates, showing my husband and I that our case was a top priority for them. They also responded to questions and concerns usually within a few ...hours, (even after hours). My husband and I now have full custody of my husband's children, which were in a very dangerous environment. Don and his staff has changed our life and our perspective on attorneys. They showed us that there are those out there that truly care about their clients and work fervently to get the outcome that's desired!!

Caring and Vested in Clients

Mr. Spears and his team are very vested in helping their clients. He truly made me feel like he was helping his own daughter when he helped me get out of a bad marriage.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Spears is a lawyer's lawyer. His many years of experience combined with his countless successes make him an ideal fit for most civil litigation. I for one learned valuable information working with him that i just simply couldn't get anywhere else. A creative and "out of the box thinker," Mr. Spears not only knows the traditional ways of handling a matter, he can certainly find new ways to approach situations presented. I highly recommend Don without hesitation."

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.
