Spencer Gilligan Recommendation

I have followed Spencer' career from the time he was in law school. His trial skills and ability to communicate with the Court and jury are exceptional, and his integrity is rock solid. When you need legal assistance, there is no one I would recommend more highly. I have placed my family's well being... in his hands, and I have never made a better decision.

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.
