No nonsense law firm

I hired Spencer after feeling pushed aside by two other previous lawyers. Spencer and Joann made me feel welcome and are always willing to communicate with me regarding my case. What I appreciated the most was the no nonsense approach that Spencer had in dealing with my divorce case. He laid it all o...ut in plain black and white or without sugar coating the situation and I knew where I stood in my legal situation. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for, and Spencer only confirms that belief. In situations like divorce that are unpleasant, choosing a lawyer that has your back, communicates, does not make you feel like you are on the back burner, and is honest about your case is what you need. I would make the choice to hire Mr. Harrington again, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs quality in their corner to support them.

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.

QDRO Help

I was at a loss in finding help. I was referred to Mr. Harrington's office in Spokane. I had moved to Vermont and needed help with my 5 year old divorce. I never spoke with Mr. Harrington and worked and communicated with his Associate Joanne. She was incredible, provided the confidence of their s...trength in this area, and communicated primarily through email. I was able to resolve my QDRO at half of rate of their required retainer. I was extremely pleased and can highly recommend their services. No fluff, no wasted time, and got the job done. My case is resolved and I am very happy. Thank you. Harvey

Exactly who needed

I found Spencer through a referral since I had no idea where to even begin. He and Joanne are extremely responsive and straightforward. At his encouragement I was also able to find the strength to get DV help. I have a complicated case and it’s still ongoing but I’m very glad and grateful that of all... the attourneys in Spokane, I’ve got him in my corner.

Will tell you the truth. Even if it's not what you want to hear.

I was a victim of domestic violence. I had to leave my home with two young children. I was terrified and I needed someone to tell me bluntly that I needed to get out. My ex had a drug addiction that led to the abuse. I felt sympathy for him because he was ill. I didn't want to hurt him I just wanted ...to keep my children safe. My empathy for my ex kept me for asking what was fair financially. I didn't want any of our assets I only wanted to make sure my children would be protected. Spencer put together a very detailed parenting plan. He put things in it that have protected my children post divorce that I would not have known or thought to ask for and I will be forever grateful. I needed someone to be blunt and honest with me. It may not be want you want to hear at the time but if you want a attorney to tell you straight up what they think without dancing around your feelings and an attorney that will do what's in your best interests this is the attorney for you! His assistant Joanne is also wonderful. She's very responsive and has the same straight forward attitude as Spencer. I would highly recommend Spencer to anyone going through a divorce or needing protection from a abusive spouse or partner.
