Posted by Janet | December 30, 2025 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Super helpful consultation about my Sunrun solar contract.

I contacted Mr Spainhour after finding myself in a contract with a solar company that was frivolous on all accounts. He was so helpful and understanding. He gave me very clear cut instructions on what he recommended I do- none of which involved him profiting in any way. And I feel hopeful that I migh...t be able to actually win my case.

Highly Recommend

Mr. Spainhour is an invaluable asset to any Real Estate business (or general business) legal team. He will always fight for your best interest and his experience alone could save you tens of thousands of dollars and months of litigation. I would recommend his services to any professional/organization... seeking counsel.

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.
