"I endorse this lawyer. Spencer and I worked together on a complex product liability case: we represented a client who was rendered quadriplegic from a defective product. The case was challenging not least because nobody had ever sued any manufacturer for the particular defect we were litigating. Spencer's work was tremendous. He dug in and worked with our team to get the case in tip-top shape for trial. The case resolved short of trial. Spencer is razor sharp, oozes professionalism, and does not back down from a challenge. I would not hesitate to recommend him to those looking for top-notch legal representation."

In that time, he has been dedicated to his clients (tried numerous cases with favorable results), dedicated to law students (actively volunteers his time to coach numerous local law school mock trial teams), and dedicated to his community of fellow young lawyers (organizing continuing legal education events for young lawyers). He is one of the great up-and-coming plaintiffs lawyers in San Francisco and the state. I wholeheartedly endorse him!"
