Charles Spinner

I know Chuck Spinner has a solid reputation in Eugene, so he must do well by many of his clients. My experience though, in a child support dispute was not so great. Mr. Spinner ended up charging me three times what he initially quoted. The increase that I received in child support was wiped out b...y his fees. Also, he assured me that a particular judge had retired, but when we got to court, there he was. I said, "i thought you said he retired." His answer, "He's a senior judge now." The worse part of my experience with him was that he allowed my ex-husband to run his usual games right before we were going to have a trial. My ex agreed to an amount, then when we said yes, my ex would change his mind, and whittle the amount down. Spinner did nothing to get a hold of this situation. Also, during discovery, my ex used the discovery process to punish me, and Spinner never stood up for me, no matter how ridiculous the request. When I would go in and try and talk to him, he would charge me $250/hr and I would have to sit and listen to his stories about his Mexico vacation. I hired him, because I had heard really positive things about him, but that just was not my experience.
