Knowledgeable, ethical, and organized practice

Spencer is very knowledgeable of the law, the judges ruling patterns, and HE CARES about the kids. He’s an aggressive attorney that will fight hard for what is right and he will not be afraid to call his clients out if they are being unreasonable. Spencer took on my case when nobody else would becaus...e it was a mess. When watching his first court hearing, I knew within 30 seconds we were going to win. He went in strong, had studied my case thoroughly going back 7 years. He remembered pertinent details and he represented my son in that court room that day. He did an incredible job. Joanne, his right hand is just as incredible. She remembers details, she’s prompt to respond and overall just above and beyond professional. I highly recommend this duo for high conflict custody situations. They will handle your case with care, integrity, and exceptional knowledge.

Trustworthy divorce/custody attorney

I would highly recommend Mr. Harrington as a lawyer.  I hired him to represent me in my divorce/custody battle and was very pleased with how he fought for me.  He gave me very helpful advice and was always one step ahead of the other party.  Mr. Harrington fought hard but still upheld integrity.  I h...ave had some dealings with other lawyers who have acted very shady and I had a sense that they just wanted to take my money.  That was not the case with Mr. Harrington, he was straightforward and trustworthy.  I really appreciated being able to call Joanne, his paralegal and ask questions at any time for a cheaper rate as well.  In the end, I got what I originally had asked for and my children are safe with me.

Friendly and professional

Spencer and Joanne were amazing in a stressful situation. He seemed to be the only lawyer I talked to that didn't seem bothered by the fact that my ex had hired Matt. He was good at being aggressive when I was not because I was such a pushover. Considering the circumstances i had the best possible o...utcome!

Thoughtful, intelligent, caring team when I needed them most

I hired Spencer and Joanne during my divorce and they were amazing! It was not an easy time at all, and they helped me navigate the process, manage my expectations, help me to be patient, and eventually get the best outcome available to me. Spencer had to talk me off of a few proverbial cliffs and ...it was clear he was always in my court, looking out for my best interest and that of my children. I have since recommended him to many needing family attorneys. I have also used him for estate issues, wills and development of trusts and he has also been extremely helpful and easy to work with, 5 stars for sure!!!

Divorce and custody battle

Spencer is an absolute bulldog. He represented me in my divorce, which my ex dragged out over two years. Through false accusations of abuse and many, many other lies by my ex, Spencer was able to expose her lies to the court, and not only was I able to get my house back, but got much more time with m...y kids than I expected to end up with. He is now currently representing me though an ugly custody battle and slowly but surely exposing yet more lies from my ex. Both Spencer and his paralegal, Joanne, have kept me updated and informed me of all important developments in both my cases. Highly recommended.
