I am honored to write a review for Crystal Collins Spencer, Attorney at Law. I hired Mrs. Spencer to represent me in a lengthy and complicated custody modification case, filed several years after my initial divorce. At the time of our first meeting, I was emotionally devastated, frightened, and very overwhelmed. Mrs. Spencer’s calmness, confidence, and obvious competence immediately put me at ease, and after hearing her take on my case and sensing her desire for justice and awareness of the law, I knew I had the right person to stand beside me and fight for me and my children. And fight she has! Mrs. Spencer is an absolute warrior in the courtroom, and the work she and her team (who I fondly refer to as Crystal’s angels) have put into my case has been staggering. Though she is a very successful attorney with a busy practice, whenever anything in my case has arisen, I have always felt that I had Mrs. Spencer and her teams’ undivided attention. I cannot say enough kind words about Mrs. Spencer and her team. I am forever grateful for what they have done for me and my family.
Mine was a child custody case. My ex-girlfriend fled the state, while pregnant with our child, after threatening abortion and adoption, to pursue a relationship with her boyfriend in Florida, and her plan was to completely exclude me from my daughter's life, thinking that if she moved to Florida and I couldn't find her, I would not pursue any legal action. Thankfully a good friend of mine recommended Mrs. Spencer. Thanks to her I now have 50-50 custody and can be part of my daughter's life. Crystal is extremely knowledgeable, and an outstanding lawyer. She is also straight-forward and will not let you live with unrealistic expectations, whether you like it or not. While it was evident the opposing counsel preparation was moderate and was winging it as the trial went, Crystal spent the 4 days prior to the trial preparing (including a Saturday and a Sunday), reading every mail, cross checking every work schedule with daycare signing sheets, and her hard work was reflected at the trial. Her years of experience also showed up. When my ex-gf found herself against the ropes by her tough questions about her actions, she accused me of physically abusing her, but Crystal caught the lie and right away asked her several follow up questions (i.e. the circumstances, the date, etc), which she could not answer and exposed her lie. She is also surrounded by an outstanding staff, that works as hard as she does. While her services are expensive, she is worth every penny, and again, she is the only reason why I now have a great relationship with my wonderful girl.
I had to release my initial counsel after getting nothing done for nearly two years. Crystal not only helped move the process forward in a timely manner but had to do a lot of damage control from significant issues and mistakes from the first attorney. I got a very reasonable settlement within months and have been able to move on with my life. Thanks Crystal and your team
truly could not have chosen a better firm to work with. Not only is Crystal and her team very responsive, but they are incredibly hardworking and empathetic. Custody or divorce is never something anyone wants to have to endure, but Crystal, Melissa, and their office staff helped ease my fears and fought for me every step of the way. Thanks to Crystal and Melissa, I achieved the best outcome for my daughter and I am forever grateful for making the decision to use Spencer Law. I would chose them over and over again.
Client committed, professional, compassionate, Crystal and her staff fight for your rights.
I hired Crystal after a friend recommended I call her. I found her to be passionate, educated and in tune to what was needed to win. She is an asset you want on your side.
Professional, efficient and extremely knowledgeable! These are the traits that I would use to describe her and what makes an outstanding attorney. Hard-working, pointed and the ability extract the pertinent details. I truly enjoyed her focus and determination to provide an excellent outcome with my case. Thanks Again, Sean
Crystal Spencer made state law in our case. We were in a 3 year battle to keep my husband's children in our city, and her dedication, determination , and tremendous ability won our case. She is fair and honest, and demands the highest conduct and responsibility from herself, her staff and , yes, her clients.
Ms Spencer and her staff are top of the line. Without her determination and commitment to my case my divorce may have continued for much longer. Her wealth of knowledge is vast, quick and the unexpected is no challenge. I have never seen a team work so hard and so fast. Her strategic approach and persistant planning brough a very satisfiying close to my case. When faced with an agressive an uncouth defendant she holds her composure and her class is very apparent. Ms Spenser will perform at the highest level at all times, protects and proves your positions, secures and assures your settlement. I will always recommend her highly.
I sued for divorce after 48 years of marriage for one half of our marital worth. The case was settled out of court after two years of depositions , several legal proceedings and mediation. What we requested in the filing was the settlement.
