Probably the best attorney I've ever dealt with

Mr. Spencer helped me with 2 criminal cases. He was very honest with me and very fair on his rates. When I have reached out to him for further legal advice or questions, he has always been available or extremely prompt in his responses. He is someone I would highly recommend if you are looking for bl...unt honesty and a good outcome on your case.

Huge help with my case

Always took my calls and was extremely honest about what my expectations should be. He under promised and over delivered.

Excellent Lawyer

I hired Mr. Spencer to handle a personal matter that I had in Hamtramck. As an attorney myself, I feel that I am especially knowledgeable about what makes an attorney a good choice. With my matter Mr. Spencer was professional, courteous and most importantly empathetic. I know a lot of lawyers an...d I really don't think I could find a better choice of someone to help me.

Outstanding

I spoke with Bob on a consultation basis. Through the course of our conversation, we decided that I was not in need of his services. He was honest about that. That’s said, his knowledge, experience, and willingness to help, despite that I would not be retaining him, was simply incredible. I can’t... imgaine how helpful he would be if I did need to retain him!

Best guy you could ever hope for

You have a million words come to mind when you think of someone, but the one i have for this man is amazing. He met up with me in my work parking lot so i could sign papers without requesting a day off he always answered or called me shortly back when he had a moment he was a very nice friendly profe...ssional lawyer. He handled my exspoungement very thoroughly and seriously. His price was more then reasonable i would have gave him more if i had it because he deserved it. He gave me a chance at a new life.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
