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.

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.

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!!!

Spencer and Joanne are an amazing team

Spencer and Joanne helped me navigate a high conflict divorce. Spencer helped gain more time with my children and kept me from paying an additional $60,000 to my ex. Spencer also proved my ex to be the liar she is. Spencer and Joanne are very professional and get the job done.

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
