Thanks for everything! You are the best!

I came to Clayton seeking representation for my divorce. This is my first marriage and so going through a divorce was beyond anything I've ever experienced. I had no idea what to expect until I marched into the office of Clayton Spencer. First was a consultation where we met, and he informed me of th...e timeline/order of events, fees and such that I could expect. He was not pushy, he even wanted me to look into my options before committing to his help. My divorce wasn't nasty, but it wasn't simple either, and unless you have a crystal ball there is no way to know what you will need or problems that will arise. I am so happy that I had Clayton in my corner to help see me through this horrific time in my life, he navigated the uncharted waters for me and super pleased with knowledge, professionalism and understanding of my expectations. Thank you to both you and Jill for being so responsive and proactive, and diligent with my case!

A M A Z I N G !

Clayton was amazing with my case. He was very professional yet you still feel comfortable and can relax with him. I am very grateful for Him taking patience and time out of his day to make sure everything with me, my daughter and my case went well. The efforts, time, and attitude of not only Clay...ton but his secretary Jill as well, were phenomenal! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good lawyer trying to take on your case!

Child Custody Lawyer

Mr. Spencer is a honest and thorough lawyer. I hired him to represent me in a child custody case. He took me through a variety of outcomes that may occur and asked me questions so we could create the most beneficial case. When me and the other party came to an agreement on our own time, Mr. Spencer a...nd his secretary Jill helped complete the parenting plan and Jill filed the paperwork quickly. Jill was able to assist me and answer any questions I had. I will hire them again if I ever need legal help in the future.

Exceptional lawyer with integrity

As someone very new to divorce proceedings, I had many questions and concerns about the divorce process. Clayton and Jill guided me through every step with patience and integrity. My experience with Spencer Law was nothing short of exceptional. From our first interaction, I felt confident that I w...as working with people who cared about using my time and money well, keeping me informed, hearing my perspective on actions to take, being straightforward and honest with all parties involved, and doing fantastic work for me, their client. That confidence was well-placed, as Clayton, Jill, and I worked closely together to reach a very positive outcome in my divorce proceedings. I was given many opportunities to ask questions and seek clarification. I was able to enter our meetings together, as well as the court hearing and interactions with the opposing party, with confidence and calm. I believe that if I hadn't retained Spencer Law, I likely would have settled for much less than I deserved in my divorce. Thank you, Clayton and Jill, for making my divorce a positive experience that will make a difference in my life, and the lives of my kids, for many years to come. I recommend Spencer Law to any client who is ready to work as a team with their lawyer. Clayton will go above and beyond in getting your case done in a timely and effective manner. 5/5 stars (I wish I could rate them even higher)
