"Not only is Lindsey experienced and knowledgeable, but he is a genuinely good person. You can tell that he cares for his clients and is invested in their success."
"I've known Lin for a number of years now and have also worked with him on various entertainment projects. He is a rare breed among attorneys. While he clearly knows his craft and guides his clients with expertise, he also does so while remaining gracious and genuine with all parties involved, including clients, opposing counsel and others. This expertise combined with a very rare persona has recently led me to suggest Lin as counsel for a party for which a current client is negotiating a film joint venture with. With just a bit of research and one phone call, they quickly became interested in bringing Lin on board. Now I can look forward to working across the table with him as well!"
"Lindsay Spiller provides a crucial service in the entertainment industry. He knows the business of entertainment and entertainment law; he knows the "players" which enables him to promote his clients' interests. He can get a project into production. I endorse Lindsay Spiller!"
"I have known Lindsay for several years and we often consult with each other regarding transactional and litigated entertainment matters. Lindsay is sincerely dedicated to the needs of his clients and as a practice goes the extra mile to ensure they get what they need. This, combined with an attention to detail and a tenacious attitude when needed makes him an attorney I would be happy to work with again in the future."
"I endorse this lawyer. Lin Spiller is a bright, creative attorney who serves creative clients most effectively. He thinks both outside and inside the box. He is a skilled negotiator. When needed, he assembles teams of lawyers and other professionals to meet the needs of his clients,"
"I have known Lindsay Spiller for over 40 years, and as a friend and fellow attorney I have followed his legal career from the beginning. I am not surprised by the favorable endorsements he has received from his clients on this Avvo website. Read them and you will understand why clients appreciate his advice and counsel. As an attorney for over 33 years, it has been my experience that many attorneys lack the social skills and empathy that clients need when confronted with a serious legal problem. Lindsay brought those skills and qualities to his legal career. His experience, expertise, and ability to succinctly communicate verbally and in writing makes him an effective advocate for his clients."
