Robert Spence is a man of integrity. I feel that if he doesn't know the answers nobody will.. He won my personal injury case, and made sure I was awarded three times my damages!! He is a hard worker. I did not blow up his phone, I allowed him to call me. He never missed a court appearance, and has always been on time. The FACTS are he is the best in the city!! Thanks Robert Spence!

I have watched Mr. Spence take the downfall of the city all because he is an attorney hired by MSCS School Board. He did his job, and people are upset because he did HIS JOB. He was not just hired for the board, he has been the attorney for the board FOR YEARS. I retained Mr. Spence to fight a case because my mom was neglected in the nursing home. He took pride in my case, and we won!! People can not get mad for who he is, and what he does. He takes care of all his clients, good and bad. I love Mr. Spence and I thank him for his dedication.

Man of the community and holds the highest integrity! Best firm in the city. I’ve worked with the Spence firm on multiple cases over the years that all ended in a successful result. They’ve always led with integrity

Robert Spence is an excellent attorney. He is a man of integrity and he will help you if you listen and take his legal advise. I met him when he was I in a divorce. He was not my attorney but he was very respectful toward me. When I saw him as I was divorcing a second time, he saw me and asked if he could help me. My attorney had removed herself from my case. Her lack of experience in divorces almost caused me to go to jail. Attorney Spence afforded my case and had compassion for me.

Mr. Spence does not prioritize his client's best interests and will align with the prosecutor if the price is right. For your own benefit, hire an attorney who is truly committed to advocating for you and protecting your interests to the fullest extent.

He is the WORST lawyer in Memphis!! He said he was going to go to court with me and on the day of the hearing he had his assistant contact me and tell me that he will not represent me.... HE IS NOT RELIABLE AND DOES NOT COMMUNICATE. You will do better having a dog as a lawyer
