Philip deserves zero stars

The Right Lawyers office is a sham.... I went to their office for the reviews I read on one of the partners, Stacy Rocheleau- and instead was given the old bait and switch and was stuck with Philip Spradling. Philip was my attorney. When I retained and PAID - Philip said he would "negotiate" with the... other party, and instead- failed to respond and stalled until I was forced to pay more money. He was not knowledgeable in the distribution of retirement/pension plans or any type of negotiation. The whole office is a joke. Calls made to Rock, the office manager were of no help either. Horrible experience and WASTE of money, as I had to pay ANOTHER lawyer at another firm to go to court with me, negotiate with the other party and get my case settled. Do not use Right Lawyers! They're only out for your money.

This client paid a fixed fee to draft and file the initial pleadings and then attempt to negotiate with the opposing attorney. Right Lawyers did exactly that: the initial pleadings were filed promptly and correctly. Mr. Spradling then negotiated extensively with the opposing attorney in an attempt to reach a resolution. Unfortunately, no resolution was reached. The fixed fee did not include any court appearances, and so when further litigation and court appearances became necessary it had to request an additional fee to cover the additional time and cost. Mr. Spradling regrets that the negotiations did not produce an acceptable resolution, and that the litigation had to continue with additional costs and fees.

World-Class Service

I would like to take the time to highly recommend the services of Philip Spradling and RIGHT Lawyers. I hired Philip back in November when my ex-wife served me with divorce papers. There is no doubt that this was by far the scariest time of my entire life and I was very anxious at first due to how ...aggressive my ex and her lawyer were; they wanted to essentially take my daughter away from me (even though my ex repeatedly placed her friends and new boyfriend ahead of her family) and try to demand an insane amount of alimony and child support. My ex had no interest in trying to settle or work this out amicably. They came out in full attack mode and came out swinging. Luckily, Philip and RIGHT Lawyers came to the rescue. From the moment I called them for the first time I was treated with nothing but care and respect. I spoke with Rock and he took a very large chunk of his day to talk to me and convinced me to speak with Philip about my upcoming litigation. Philip took the time to listen to everything I had to say and was very upfront about the cost of the litigation and how we were going to respond to my ex-wife’s aggressive complaint. Philip countered with a counter-claim and I was blown away by how well-worded it was. After a month, we filed a motion for temporary orders and I was deeply impressed with how structured and effective his work was. Their opposition to our motion was a complete joke and they wound up settling right before the hearing, ending the divorce and the darkest period of my life. I credit this solely to Philip, Adriana (the wonderful paralegal at RIGHT Lawyers) and the rest of their team including Karen, Rock, Laura and everyone whose name I did not mention. I want to commend Philip for his incredible patience with me and always being willing to take my calls or answer my emails no matter what silly question I had or what drama I was dealing with. I LOVE the fixed cost system RIGHT Lawyers uses because you can feel free to communicate if there is an issue and once you pay them for the work, they will get it done for you and they will do a good job. All in all I wound up paying $10,500 to fend off my ex wife and her lawyer from their aggressive complaint and this was the result of the hard work Philip, Adriana and the rest of their team put in. Today, my daughter spends most of her days with me while my ex-wife is still trying to pay off her attorney’s fees and fight through bankruptcy. If I ever need legal counsel again, Philip is the first person I would call. His calm demeanor put me at ease and I would recommend his services any day of the week. We came out of that dispute victorious and with a very favorable result. Philip will always be down to earth and realistic about what to expect but will still keep an open mind and fight for his clients the best he can. I definitely highly recommend his services and the services of RIGHT Lawyers. --Nate V.

Best Attorney for Divorce & Child Custody.

Right Lawyers and Philip Spradling did an amazing job representing me in my prolonged and emotionally draining divorce and child custody case. If you are looking for an attorney who will represent you to the best of their capabilities and do everything possible to get the best outcome for you in your... divorce/child custody case, Philip and Right Lawyers are the ones! Everyone was very helpful. From Clarisa in the front desk, to Adriana, one of their Paralegals, to Rock. Everyone was great. I got exactly the outcome I wanted and the support from a firm who knows what they are doing, was priceless. I strongly recommend them because having the right legal representation sets the right tone in ANY case. In my case, Philip remained very poised and his calm demeanor helped a lot, since I can be a hot head at times. You won't be disappointed, almost guarantee that.

I highly recommend this Firm - definitely the RIGHT lawyers for your divorce / dissolution needs! They exhibit great communication and customer service skills; a combination that is a dying art! Results-oriented and swift, but thorough action. Seriously impressed! The entire team is wonderful to work... with and the intake process is simple and efficient. No need to look elsewhere - you've struck gold with the caliber of this legal team!

Happy and can move forward

Philip was awesome. He helped me to be fair. Divorce was one of the hardest things for me to deal with, but he and the Right Lawyers team helped me to stand strong. I appreciate his service and I would recommend him to anyone, but I hope they consider working on their marriage first before doing so.
