I was reported to the California Board of Registered Nursing when I got booked for a DUI. I was glad to have Carlo guide me through the process of dealing with the Board and happy with how my case was handled. Highly recommend this guy!

WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT MR. SPIGA HAD AND WITH THE GREAT ADVISE I RECEIVED. I WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE EVER AGAIN!!

Needed to get my record clean!

I never thought I would have any problems with an old item on my record. Then out of the blue, INS started asking me questions about it. I decided to find a lawyer to expunge my record. Mr. Spiga did everything and before you know it..the expungment was granted!! Way to go!!

THANKS SPIGA!

Thank you Carlo Spiga!

I don't know what I would've done without Carlo. Even though this was a very stressful and scary time in my life, Carlo made it bearable. I was not guilty of the crimes I was being accused of and Carlo helped me get acquitted. Not only that but Carlo was supportive and extremely helpful throughout my entire case. Can't thank this man enough!
