Spencer Nathan Thal

Spencer Thal took my employment lawsuit to trial and won! I called Spencer about a year ago because I was facing gender based wage discrimination at work. I told him what I knew and shared some documents with him, and he immediately took my case. He filed suit against my employer and began the proces...s of collecting evidence. He deposed a key witness who revealed information that helped my case, and also conducted extensive discovery, which again yielded documents that greatly helped my case. Despite an offer of a small settlement, we decided to take the case to trial, and we won! Words cannot express how I felt when a jury of my peers decided in my favor, and I have Spencer to thank for that. He got me justice! Spencer was an excellent advocate for me from start to finish. He truly believed in the validity of my case, treated me with respect, and used his years of experience as an employment lawyer to successfully navigate the trial. The judge listened to his arguments and made decisions in our favor multiple times. He was able to get key evidence admitted despite efforts from opposing counsel to keep it away from the jury. He caught witnesses for the defense in lies and was able to impeach them on the stand. And finally, after the trial was over and we had won, he secured an agreement from opposing counsel not to appeal. My only regret is that I did not call Spencer 3 years ago, when my problems at work began. If you suspect that your rights are being violated, I strongly encourage you to contact Spencer Thal.

I first engaged Spencer Thal as an attorney in 1993. As executive officer of one of the largest local unions in the Teamsters Union, we had a great deal of legal work. In 1995 I made the decision to employee Spencer directly for the local union, first as a staff attorney, and subsequently as General ...Counsel. In all aspects Spencer provided the highest level of legal counsel and representation. He has been an outstanding litigator in both union arbitration and court room cases. He was adept at providing initial reads on matters, and when necessary conducting in-depth research. As General Counsel he developed even more diversified skill sets, including contract negotiations, staff management, and membership presentation. As the needs of our representation staff at the local union increased, Spencer developed an outstanding and thorough training module covering all aspects of union representation and labor law. Besides having a brilliant mind and an excellent education and other training in the practice of law, maybe the most meaningful of Spencer's assets is a willingness and ability to work hard and effectively. Whereas labor law and union representation were the core of the work Spencer performed, he also displayed a broad sense of legal knowledge and strategic thinking as other situations arose. As my career moved to a regional and national level with the Teamsters, Spencer remained my most valued source of legal and strategic opinion.

Attorney Thal belongs to a class of lawyers who accumulates many clients, plays the odds, and goes for the easy settlement offers. When the litigation becomes difficult, he finds a reason to walk away and conveniently move on to a new client. Not unlike your situation, I was unjustly wronged by a l...arge institution that seemingly has an infinite legal war chest. I was very taken in by Attorney Thal’s pitch that he will fight hard for me and seek justice. But in the end, when the lawsuit was becoming difficult and expensive and when it became apparent there is not going to be any easy settlement offers, he promptly withdrew and walked away from the case just right before the discovery cutoff deadline and right before the statute of limitation expires. I wish you the best in your search for an attorney who has the commitment to fight hard for you from beginning to end. Find an attorney team who have a track record of taking their client’s case all the way through jury trial and appeal process. You’re already a victim of injustice, and it’ll be absolutely devastating to be victimized a second time because you hired the wrong attorney.
