Experienced and well connected.

Anyone is STUPID to walk in to the court room with out a lawyer, and anyone is STUPID to walk in to a court room with just any phone book lawyer! Mr. Spiegelman was very helpful in handling my case(s). His experience with the court structure and local politics really shows in action....worth every ce...nt... I also find him to be a honest man, and a "stand up" guy. If you're honest with him he will level with you. Something I didn't find with other lawyers. It seems most lawyers will tell you anything...take your money, promise you the stars, then tell you "sorry i did all i could" Steve doesn't do that. He rolls with the punches, and lets you know what's happening as it unfolds. And given my situation his service has actually saved me money! Thanks Steve!!

Great Work

I am really surprised to see this review. I have been a client as well as many family members having been clients at various times in the last 15yrs. We have always been satisfied by his efforts to resolve all issues with the courts, appointments that we were asking to be set up so we could follow ou...r cases, and at times he would bend over backwards to make all all efforts to satisfy our needs even if he had to come to us. I have referred many clients as well. His clients have been happy with his work and thought it was reasonable. He was always there at court when we expected him and he always made everything clear as to what the process was. I believe who ever wrote this did not know or work with Mr. Spiegelman or was angry because of what ever alcohol or emotional issues in their life. I don't know what other attorney without knowing who would tell a client to slander another attorney. Mrs. Herrera

"Steve Spiegelman has shown as a member of the National College for DUI Defense that he is committed to providing cutting edge DUI defense. The National DUI College members represent the most experienced DUI defense attorneys in the country. If you are charged with a DUI, a general practice lawyer is not the answer. Good DUI defense is hard work and few offenses in our justice system call for greater attorney expertise than cases involving driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. DUI cases are especially complex because they require defense counsel to understand both scientific and legal issues. As a fellow member of the College, I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Spiegelman"
