About

I am Board Certified in Criminal Trial Law. That means I have been recognized by the Florida Bar as an expert in Criminal Trial practice. Before opening my own practice, the Law Office of Spencer Cordell, P.A., I worked for Brown, Suarez, & Rios, the largest criminal defense firm in SW Fla. Before I was a defense attorney, I worked as a prosecutor at the State Attorney's Office for the 20th Judicial Circuit. I practice not only Criminal Defense, but also Appeals, Personal Injury, and traffic. I handle all types of Criminal cases, and have extensive experience handling DUI cases. Here's a link to an article I wrote on my blog about changes in Florida DUI laws:http://crimcourts.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/important-changes-to-floridas-dui-laws-legislative-update-2013/Here's the link to a recent media story on a case I handled, including some courtroom footage. The case was overturned on appeal based on my motion to dismiss under Florida's 'Castle Doctrine' portion of the Stand Your Ground Law.  The court ordered a rehearing on the motion, which we won, and my client was exonerated of the charges.  He walked out of jail on a 10 year sentence!http://www.nbc-2.com/Global/story.asp?S=12808115Here's a story that I commented on regarding Florida's expanding DNA sampling:http://www.nbc-2.com/story/20283534/fdle-expanding-dna-database

I have had Spencer as my attorney on more then one occasion. From a frivolous ticket to a life changing charge brought against me. Out of 12 attorney's I spoke to Spencer stood out the most. He was the one who believed me and willing to fight on my behalf. Spencer fought tooth and nail for me and ended up winning our case. He was always honest with me and always thought outside the box. No sugar coating which was refreshing and needed. Always presented all the options. Definitely knew what he was doing. I will be forever grateful to Spencer for giving my life back to me. I honestly can say, I don't think things would have gone the way they did if it wasn't for Spencer's support, hard work and never give up attitude. I will always recommend Spencer to anyone who needs help like I did.

I called Spencer Cordell at midnight for a consultation on a case and not only did he carefully research the details of the case but also provided helpful and optimistic information and recommendations regarding the upcoming process. He is the most candid attorney I’ve talked to—give him a call!

I hired Spencer Cordell to represent me in 2 criminal matters. He went to work for me right away. Communication was easy. It was clear from the start that he had my best interests at heart. He is tough and smart. Such a great decision to hire him. He achieved results much better than I expected. Great lawyer.

I was referred to Mr. Cordelll. I am a senior and have never in my life experienced what I went thru. And he was referred to me. I arrived at his office and he gave me his full attention and I could see in his voice that he understood completely what happened to me. I was arrested under false charges. I had a small video of what happened. He was very attentive to me and if it were not for the COVID causing the closure of courts, I think everything would be faster. Mr. Cordell always kept me updated on the case. All charges were dropped. I told him, he is my Hero. I know he and The Lord were partners on this. And I am so profoundly grateful to his diligence, attention, drive. No one could have done better than what Mr. Cordell did.

Spencer has represented me in the past and when I thought the worst for my future, Spencer was able to get things done in the most effective way possible. He's someone you can trust and I will continue to recommend him to anyone looking for a great attorney!

Since Spencer did such a great job with my family, I have recommended him to anyone I over hear that needs a lawyer. If anyone in my family comes up with and issue I always recommend they contact Mr. Cordell first and if he cant help them, let him refer them to someone else, because I trust him with all my heart. He is one of the most honest Lawyers I have ever had the honor of hiring.

I ended up using Mr. Cordell only as a referral, since he was honest enough to tell me that I'd be better off taking another solution rather than persuing my case in court. But I so appreciated his honesty, I felt that he deserved a 5 star review. If I ever have the need for a lawyer, I would definitely contact Mr. Cordell. I felt very comfortable talking with him, he was very straightforward with his advice and I took it! Thanks again!

Spencer Cordell made me a believer.When I thought there was no hope and no light for the dark path ahead, he assured me that he would fight with all the fight he had in him and that it would all come to pass in my favor. Not only was he there for me,but he cared about my circumstance and fought like it wasnt just his job but his duty.I highly recomend Mr.Cordell to anyone who wants a lawyer who is actually going to be there for them and not turn them away in despair.

Mr. Cordell let us know ever detail and what he would do for us, never made a false promise. And the day of court when the State tried to change the charges Mr. Cordell held his hand over the microphone and said "that was not the deal and that is not the deal we are taking, we are taking the one I said", He will be my family & friends lawyer for life.
