I had a tough decision to make after my Father passed away regarding the way my two sisters handled Daddy's affairs while he was living with Alzheimer Disease. After speaking candidly with Mr. Spencer all my doubts of making the right decision disappeared. I knew what choices I had, made my decision, and can go forward in life with confidence and clarity. Mr. Spencer was prompt, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you, Mr. Spencer!

Kevin is an experienced and highly professional and effective attorney for estate litigation. He makes himself available whenever needed and surrounds himself with an excellent staff. I absolutely picked the right law firm for what became a difficult case. I was always advised what to expect, and what the next move would be. When we talked, he was focused, prepared and always followed through. He fought hard for a fair outcome, and assured that justice prevailed. Thank you Mr. Spencer

Mr. Spencer is an honorable and fair man. My father has Alzheimer's. Mr. Spencer was understanding of his situation and also of that of my brother and I. He made every effort to handle our matter in a way to bring us together instead of divide us. We will forever be in his debt.

Kevin stepped in very quickly and effectively to help me in a time of great need. We talked on Thursday and he ended up working extensively over the weekend to get something filed with the court the following Monday. He communicated effectively use phone, email and texts to keep me current on the case. He was very professional and very effective. He got a default judgement reversed and the entire matter concluded quickly. It was great having Kevin on my side and looking out for my interests.

During the trying time of our Father's death we were forced to face another unexpected battle in fighting for my father's estate. Something my family never thought would ever happen. My sister was put to the test and hired these AWESOME ATTORNEYS. The were a blessing from God during our whole long and drawn out ordeal they never once gave us any doubt of their ability to fight. Kevin Spencer is the "bomb.com" He put our concerns to the forefront and accomplished all. Highly recommendable.

It was a very daunting task to hire an attorney in another state to represent 14 beneficiaries without ever meeting in person, yet, from our first conversation I felt at ease about my selection. Upon finally meeting him and his wonderful staff, it was a solid confirmation that I had made the right choice for our family. Not only is Kevin extremely knowledgable and focused, he genuinely cares. He embraced our family and fought for us as if we were his own. I couldn't have hired a better firm.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
