I hired Spencer Ball as my second lawyer 2 weeks before my hearing…3 years into the case. Spencer took me on and got straight to work (he had 40lbs of files to go through and a huge mess to sort out) . Spencer Ball cares about you, he is empathetic, very straight forward and tells you the truth. Spencer is also very prompt in returning e-mails and phone calls. Situations that arise in our life that force us to have to hire lawyers are very stressful on ourselves and our families , it is utmost important that your lawyer does their job, and cares about you while working for you. I am very thankful for Spencer Ball, I wish I would have had hired him first. In my case a settlement was reached. Thank you Spencer.
