Mr Spivack handled our case with utmost care and respect. Outstanding knowledge of law. He was occasionally difficult to contact, but always returned calls. We especially appreciate that he would listen, and take time to answer as thoroughly as possible.

Mr. Spivack represented me very good in my divorce, protected my assets and got me a fair and just outcome. Scott is also credited with winning a dismissal of a frivolous injunction for me. Scott is credited with getting false charges of domestic battery dropped for me as well. I will hire Mr. Spivack again, and I recommend others do so as well.

Mr. Spivack has represented me in my divorce case and a couple of other cases. He is smart and caring and so professional in the court room. He truly fights for his clients and genuinely cares. You are not just a number with him you are important. I would recommend Spivack law to anyone who needs a fighter in their corner.

Mr. Spivack was actually my daughter's attorney through her very difficult divorce, but I wanted to take time to write a review because he really cares about the clients he represents. I was very impressed with his professionalism, the time he took to respond to all her concerns, and for the general concern for the safety and welfare of my daughter and grandson. I am so thankful my daughter hired Mr. Spivack. She could not have received a better outcome in such a stressful time in her life. You would not regret your decision to hire Mr. Spivack.

I first met Scott 10 years ago, my world was falling apart at the seams, the father of my children was trying to get full custody of my boys after a bad break up. I had an attorney already but she wouldn't fight for me or advocate for me, she wanted me to settle with my ex and allow him to be the primary custodial parent. I was not willing to "just settle", this was my life with my children we were talking about so that's how I met Scott. He fought for me for 2 years, I have my children because of him. Over a span of 10 years, I've had Scott represent me in several cases involving my children, I respect Scott and I trust him. He is very honest, kind and patient. In the court room he is always prepared, he's smart and aggressive. Scott is an amazing attorney and the only one I trust to represent me. Also on a side note his paralegal, Janet, is amazing. She goes above and beyond.

I hired Scott on my case knowing it was already rough. Scott ensured he would help me through the whole case step by step. Scott indeed helped my case without him I thought I was going to lose everything when it came to my child but he did everything and helped ensure everything worked out in my favor I would recommend him to anyone.

Scott Spivak victoriously represented me in a family law case that drug on for three years by the opposing side. He was diligent, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He responded to any question I had throughout the entire process in a timely and efficient manner. I will hire him, without reserve, should the need for an attorney ever arise.

After consulting with several attorneys I decided to hire Mr Spivack and I’m so glad that I did. He is very knowledgeable and his staff is wonderful. I felt so much more comfortable knowing that I had Mr Spivack in my corner. He kept me and my children’s best interests at heart.

Scott has been my families attorney for over 15 years. He has delivered favorable results everytime. He listens to clients unique requests. He is creative putting those requests in court orders. He has taken time outside office hours drafting proposals to save cost of litigation. I am kept informed every step of the way, if not by him his friendly staff. He is the only attorney, I want representing me in any family law matter. A+++
