501C3 Creation

I’ve had a terrific experience working with Nick Spradlin on the creation of a nonprofit organization. I came away from the initial consult with a crystal clear idea of what I needed to be thinking about and the pricing for the full scope of work (whereas with others i couldn’t tell what kind of fil...ings and add-one were around the corner). Nick then delivered on what he said up-front and was surprisingly accessible in a variety of ways (calls, emails, etc). Overall great experience…full transparency, great advise, timely communication, and ultimately got my company created from concept to legal filing in less than 6 months. Thanks, Nick!

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.
