Yes I had hired him as my lawyer. He is very selfish and gets easily intimidated to his fulfilling his oen needs and gettting money. Buying a mansion in downtown but he will not do anything for the client.

I hired Mr. Spofford for a custody modification. Soon after a terribly messy divorce I discovered my son was in a chaotic household and I had to make sure he was safe. It took a lot of time and money, but was worth it in the end. Chris was patient, on point and trustworthy. Depositions seemed stress...

I have looked through my files and attempted to determine who this person may have been. If this is a former client please reach out to me at [email protected] to discuss this case and your concerns. I go to great lengths to do the very best job I can for all my clients and their children within the bounds of the law. My other 5 star reviews reflect the depth to which I am committed to my clients.

Thank you, Jude. It was truly a pleasure to assist you and your children in such a difficult time.

Previous to my divorce case, I had never been to court for anything bigger than a traffic ticket so when Chris took on my divorce case, I knew little if anything of the family judicial process. Chris walked me through the steps of what was going to happen and what would be expected of me but also sug...
Thank you so much for your kind words.
