"As a health care professional and licensed attorney, I did my homework when I needed legal representation to defend Accusation filed against my Health care license. Sam Spital came highly recommended by my legal colleagues. Not only did Sam meet his reputation but by far exceeded my expectations. He is a diligent advocate for his clients, professional and extremely responsive to all inquiries. Most importantly, he had the expertise and genuine personal concern for my well-being that inspired confidence and achieved an effective outcome. I highly recommend having Sam Spital on your side for any Administrative Law hearing against any Health care professionals."

FROM: CAROL K., - REGISTERED NURSE
PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA
" While holding a position as an RN Case Manager and nationally certified wound care nurse I made one error that nearly cost me my 33 year career. I had been fighting the Accusation without legal counsel for one year and was quickly losing ground with the BRN. I saw the writing on the wall and called Sam to help me surrender my license.
" Sam immediately gave me hope and energy to continue the fight. He and his Associate Elizabeth Brady saved my license and I am working without restrictions of any kind in a position of higher responsibility than before the Accusation."Sam focused on offense while also presenting a powerful legal defense. He put in place the right team of distinguished specialists, highly regarded forensic experts, and key witnesses in order to make a powerful presentation. The results were spectacular and there was no actual trial or hearing. He clearly is an experienced, energetic and highly talented lawyer .
" Living hundreds of miles was not a concern and I had the sense that Sam was right here in town. He answered my calls 24/7 and with a compassion that was amazing. He truly cared about me personally and is an amazing lawyer and person ."
- FROM: JENNIFER N. - Registered Nurse
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA
" I was desperate to find an excellent attorney to assist me with a CA Board licensing issue. I was contacted by an investigator and did not know which way to turn, what do, or how to do it. I contacted several attorneys, but when I contacted Sam, I knew I had the right person to help me .
"Sam was always available, as was Elizabeth who worked on my case personally. They gave me sound advice that I never would have known on my own. Sam and Elizabeth stayed in touch with me almost daily, helping me to stay focused and positive.
" To make the long story short, the Board of Registered Nursing has dropped the investigation, and my license is no longer in jeopardy, due to the advice and direction I was given by Sam and Elizabeth . I would recommend Sam to anyone that has a professional license issue. He knows his stuff!"

FROM: DAVID KANG, Pharmacist
STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA
"I am one of many, many people who have survived a licensure issue with one of the boards of California because of Spital & Associates' amazing ability to provide a defense beyond what you expect. In fact, I am one of the very fortunate clients to have my Board of Pharmacy case completely withdrawn due to Sam's incredible work! The experience behind his firm is unmatched. As everyone else has mentioned, you can contact him almost any time of the day any day of the week and you will get your response right away. The litigation brief that was prepared on my behalf was so unbelievable that I felt like I had a second chance already. Seriously, for those considering hiring a cheaper lawyer should reconsider because hiring Sam Spital is like getting insurance for your future and essentially your life. I would guarantee that Sam Spital would give you the very best outcome out of any possible situation. I am just one of many examples of his awesome work! The investment is worth every penny, hands down!"

" I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked with lawyers over the past 10 years on forensic evaluations. Sam was amazing. He is the best lawyer I have worked with, from professionalism, to attention to detail, to being personable and very reachable by phone and email . He clearly cares about his clients and does a superb job. He is very knowledgeable, and was very team oriented in his approach with working with another professional. I don't know anyone who works harder than this guy. 7 days a week, he was available for questions and consultations, and gets back to you extremely quickly so you are not left hanging. He is really great at what he does and I highly recommend him. I don't know anyone with a better work ethic."
- AARON T., - REGISTERED NURSE
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA
"I was misinformed from a previous attorney about what needed to be disclosed to the BRN and found myself in the unexpected and very real possibility of being investigated by the Attorney General. I was very concerned for my livelihood and that of my family, and knew it was time to be pro active and it was time to find an attorney who would fight for me with the same type of vigor that we nurses fight for our patients.
I was referred to Sam Spital and was pleasantly surprised when he answered the phone and was readily available to me. This was not only the case the first time I called but every time I called him, available to me for questions and suggestions. He was extremely professional and helped guide me through a very stressful process.
The end result was that the Board of Registered Nursing closed the case with no disciplinary action .
I would highly recommend Sam and heed caution to anyone who chooses an attorney based solely on money, trust me you get what you pay for, and from my experience Sam was worth every penny .
- FROM: BEN LAMSON, Founding Partner & Real Estate Broker
BLUE STAR PROPERTIES, INC., VICTORVILLE, CALIF.
" DRE Administrative Action Case . I found Sam Spital on the internet. I phone interviewed 3 attorneys, their fees were comparable and all seemed qualified to handle my case. After speaking with Sam, I felt he would be the strongest fighter for me and really cared about my outcome. Sam handled my Real Estate Broker license administrative complaint amazingly well . We had some trust account and operational issues during an audit and the DRE wanted to revoke my Broker license forever. Sam took the case, prepared my defense and then presented it to the DRE attorney. Sam saved my license and minimized the disciplinary fines and actions from the Department of Real Estate . Sam was quick to respond, personally answered almost every call, kept me informed through each step of the process. He is in San Diego and my case was in Los Angeles, but the distance made no difference for the case. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a State Board License issue or administrative hearing. Thanks Sam"
- FROM: JERRY GILLICK, CEO - COLLEGE PHARMACY
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO
"I was very fortunate to have found Spital & Associates. I worked closely with both Sam and his associate, Elizabeth Brady, for over 1 year in order to successfully resolve a licensing issue with the California Board of Pharmacy. I am impressed with their total dedication, perseverance, competence and passion. Sam and Elizabeth were always available, including evenings and weekends . I highly recommend Spital & Associates! You will definitely be in good hands ."
- FROM: LISA A. - REGISTERED NURSE
SAN MARCOS, CALIFORNIA
" The State Board of Registered Nursing opened a formal investigation regarding my license. Sam represented me throughout the Administrative Law case, obtaining proven results by having any allegations "withdrawn" so there is no public record of any disciplinary action . The investigation has now been closed. Thank you Sam for making something impossible possible. Your assistance was priceless !
- FROM: ERIC DAVENPORT, Chiropractor
INDIO - RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
" I recently needed some help obtaining my Chiropractic license in California from the Board of Chiropractic Examiners. I hired Sam Spital because he understood where I wanted to be and better yet, he had a plan of how to get there . Sam and his team quickly worked with me and the state board, in just a couple short months, has just accepted my application and I can now take the state Jurisprudence test and become licensed. Sam has done an amazing job, personally taking my phone calls and keeping me with up-to-date information. Sam Spital is the man, hire him! Thanks for everything Sam, my mom and I really appreciate all your work
- FROM: Dr. JOAN PASTOR THOMPSON, PhD, Industrial Psychologist
PASADENA & SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
"My husband and I were very fortunate to have Sam's help when we sold our retail business this year. Sam Spital is trustworthy, responsive and a straight shooter- he will tell you how it is, the good and the bad, which we really appreciated. Sam also will tell you when he feels he is not the expert, which is very important, as we found previous lawyers would give us bad or wrong advice but were unwilling to admit they lacked the expertise. But even in cases where he may not have been the "expert", we often found that he knew a lot more than the experts did! Chalk it up to a ton of experience and good business sense.
One last thing: As a industrial-organizational psychologist, I work with a lot of lawyers, and I mean it when I say "Sam's great !"
- FROM: Dr. NGUYEN, D.D.S. - DENTIST
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
" Sam Spital's acumen with the administrative court system in California is priceless . Before ever meeting with Sam, I was impressed with his background as a former Deputy Attorney General and now defense counsel in an area specific to my needs. His extraordinary experience and exceptional skills separate him from virtually any other lawyer in his specialty with the Board of Dental Examiners . Sam lives and breaths the protocols involved with professional licensure boards as well as the California Courts. I can't convey enough gratitude to Sam for accelerating my licensure and keeping my case from having to go through the arduous, formal hearing process. At the same time, I knew that if I did require a hearing, I had the most assertive and knowledgeable lawyer as my ally.
"Sam saved me many months of headache, lost wages, and other fees. Without Sam, I would not have been able to create the mitigation package that compelled the board to issue my license. In fact, Sam helped me achieve more than I had originally expected . This is Sam's specialty: nipping it at the bud by directly addressing the board's issues and keeping things out of court for a fast settlement with maximum efficiency. Sam made a stressful process more relaxed, giving me a tremendous amount of confidence that we would achieve our outcome. Together, he and I mapped out a plan of action. He executed flawlessly on his end while keeping me in good spirits and on task on mine. We were a true team. Through it all, Sam communicated thoroughly and compassionately. Truly caring about his clients, he made himself available according to my busy schedule. Sam always returned my calls and emails with surprisingly fast turn-around, including late evenings. I always dealt with Sam directly, no messing around with secretaries and assistants . As personal as his support and services are, Sam is a 21st Century professional who effectively uses technology to operate remotely; we were at opposite ends of the State.
" In sum, Sam's nothing short of a miracle worker who more than earns his fee . I couldn't be happier with our results. He's my go-to-guy for all things legal from here on out. Sam Spital receives my highest recommendation. Thank you, Sam!"

" EXEMPLARY REPRESENTAION - The Best! Sam Spital handled my case himself. He demonstrated his vast knowledge and experience in every step of my case filed by the California Attorney General. Sam always kept me up to date on a frequent basis, and every single telephone call and email was responded in a timely manner. No paralegals, no law clerks, no junior lawyers, and no messages left with a secretary having to call back and hoping to hear days or weeks later. You really get value for his services, and he went beyond the call of duty. Thank you Sam for everything you did. I will always remember how much you cared about the outcome of my case ."

FROM: NATALIA BORTNIK, Real Estate Broker
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
"There comes a time when we need an attorney to help us sort through the governmental red tape. Although to most of us it means a great cost, no return phone calls and additional or unexpected bills, it is not the case with Sam Spital. I needed licensing help with an issue I forgot about from back in 1982. Sam Spital was incredible! There was not a single unreturned call or e-mail. All matters were handled immediately, including answers on weekends and holidays . If you have any sort of licensing problem, Sam Spital IS IT ! ! ! He will solve your problem in a professional way much faster than anyone you think. Although I am in Los Angeles, the distance was never an issue. Thanks, Sam!"

Mr. Spital moved quickly to diffuse the situation. Within 24 hours of retaining his legal services, Mr. Spital sent a preemptive letter which successfully dissuaded the other party from seeking any legal action against me. Thank you, Mr. Spital."

" Working with Sam has been the easiest experience I have had, despite the stressful circumstances I was undergoing. Whether you are in the wrong or right, leave it to Sam to take care of you . I've dealt with other attorneys eager to rack up billable hours and non-responsive to emails and phone calls. Sam is a human-being first and foremost and cares for your well-being before anything else. He is straight-forward, upfront, and very experienced. Hopefully I won't find myself in a bind again, but If it were to happen again in the future, Sam will always remain in my phone book. Thank you so much for saving my career, Sam !"

" Long story short....I still have my professional license today thanks to the Spital Law Firm . Sam and his associate Elizabeth fought aggressively and passionately to keep my California Physical Therapy License from being revoked and were successful, despite what seemed to me a hopeless case . Sam lived up to his title – counselor- providing me not only with legal counsel, but with professional and personal counsel that made him stand apart from other attorneys I have dealt with in the past. His devotion to my cause with the Physical Therapy Board of California was exemplary ."

FROM: ELIZABETH GILTNER & TOM MACHNIAK
WILLIAMSVILLE, NEW YORK
"We sought to collect on a substantial, outstanding debt by contacting one of the top 25 law firms in San Diego . After they were hired and researched the matter, we were advised we could not collect because the matter was barred by the statute of limitations. Then, we contacted SAM SPITAL and retained his law firm. He found a way to recover and then filed a lawsuit. Once the case got into litigation, the other side conceded to our demands and we recovered our money quite satisfactorily.
SAM was always prompt, courteous and caring; he always kept us informed regarding the law suit he filed. Any time we called Sam he spoke with us himself or if he wasn't available he would return our call promptly. We found an excellent lawyer and a good friend in Sam Spital and would not hesitate to call him regarding any legal matter in the future . We recommend SAM to all who might need legal advice &/or representation."

FROM: WILLIAM RICH
ESCONDIDO, CALIFORNIA
" Samuel E. Spital is the most competent and honorable attorney to ever make my acquaintance . He loves the law and is extremely generous with his legal knowledge. Most importantly, he has a genuine concern for the overall well being of his clients and will not participate in a legal action that he believes is not in their best interest . I have consulted with him three times now and each time he has talked me out of filing a lawsuit and then refused any compensation for his time. Considering legal action is a frightening thing and picking an attorney out of the phone book is a daunting task. Do yourself a favor and give Sam a call. Respectfully, William M. Rich"

"In the fall of 2003, we had the need for legal assistance. As business owners for the past 7 years, we needed an attorney for litigation . We spoke with a few lawyers and then called Spital & Associates. We were immediately impressed with the fact that Sam Spital himself answered the phone! No screening secretaries. No paralegals to convince us we needed to speak with an actual attorney. Mr. Spital was able to offer several suggestions regarding our best course of action. He actually listened to our concerns and our opinions .
Mr. Spital did some research and called us back with a viable solution to our problem. He did so without asking for or us paying him a dime. Needless to say, we are extremely pleased with the results of Mr. Spital's representation in this lawsuit. So pleased in fact, we will be calling Sam for all of our business and personal legal needs. The only problem we have in writing this testimonial, we'd like to keep Sam to ourselves!"

He guided me to a successful conclusion on this issue against the most difficult of all adversaries --- the wild card . Incredibly, to me, it seemed like whatever time I called or emailed Sam, he got back to me so fast, I wondered "does this guy get even less sleep than I do?" We're talking about a man that not only cares about the best outcome for his client but that cares about his client! "

CALIFORNIA BUILDER - MISSION VIEJO
"I have never been involved in any lawsuit before until last year when I was WRONGFULLY TERMINATED . As I searched for the best attorney, I kept coming back to Spital & Associates. I saw determination, compassion and always wanting to fight for his clients. I called on Sunday evening, thinking I was going to leave a voice mail, Sam Spital answered. I was so impressed, I explained my situation and that night I decided to pursue my claim. The constant communication via email or phone calls were on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. When we went to mediation for my case before Judge William Sheffield, I knew it would be a tough one, dealing with an "at will" employment case, but Sam fought for me for over eight and a half hours . Sam knows the law, with his passion and charming personality he could have argued even longer. I can't express how much I appreciate Sam. My settlement was extremely pleasing to me. Sam is an outstanding attorney and now a friend. I recommend anyone looking for and attorney to call Sam ."

When I first emailed the firm regarding the Medical Board of California, I received an immediate response and a phone call from Sam himself. After that first conversation, I knew I was in good hands and much of my concern was relieved . Sam was so knowledgeable, professional, and prompt with every aspect of my case.
I felt that I had more than a great lawyer in my corner, but that I also had a great and supportive friend . All of my emails and phone calls were answered immediately and my questions answered fully. He was so pivotal in getting me through a very difficult time and, if needed, I would hire him again in the future without any hesitation."

I found myself in financial trouble and depressed with the onset of ulcers as a result of my employment. A close friend recommended I give you a call. Sam Spital not only agreed to take on a large, well known world wide corporation, but you put me at ease . You continued negotiations for several months keeping me current during the entire process. Now that the matter is resolved, I want to thank you for your outstanding services. I found your fees to be extremely reasonable, you were genuine in your concern for my well being and strived to obtain the best settlement for me.

FROM: Dr. E. PIERCE
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
"Most people searching for legal advice would like to find a good lawyer who will help them identify, explore and evaluate their issues and then explain to them, as a good communicator, the strengths and weaknesses of the legal claims and defenses... AND the very best lawyer is one who, in addition, helps make the client aware of the costs - both non-economic and economic, as well as the benefits of continued litigation, and then allows the client to decide for him or herself whether or not to continue. Samuel Spital does just that, i.e. he is more than just a "good" lawyer, he is one who does his job to the very best degree. Sam Spital helped me evaluate my case much more in-depth during consultation, and gave me more insightful advice than any other attorney I spoke with . I admire his energy and talent, and am glad to have worked with him."

After I called Sam Spital for the initial consultation he was very clear about what I was probably going to encounter and what I could expect from using his services. His thoughtfulness and his caring staff answered all my questions and concerns during this difficult period for me; Sam looked at everything and presented a very strong defense and rebuttal to the BVNPT that I could not do after trying for several years . All my questions were answered in an efficient manner as well as faxes and telephone calls.I am very happy with the results. I believe that this could have ended differently if I had not used his services. Thanks to Sam Spital and his staff I am continuing to work as a nurse. "

In our search for a new lawyer, a friend recommended SAM SPITAL to represent us in this complex matter. Once we discussed our concerns, we were confident Spital & Associates would provide us with sound legal representation we so desperately needed. Samuel Spital demonstrated superior legal expertise and exceptional negotiating technique to prevent this never-ending litigation, resulting in us paying nothing (-0-) to the other side . Sam Spital's personal attention, superb initiative, coupled with his dynamic personality had a profound impact in our achieving an appropriate and reasonable settlement through Mediation.

FROM: BRUCE MERRILL, Truck Driver
POINT LOMA, CALIFORNIA
"Last summer, I was seriously injured and had to be taken to the hospital. I was worried because I had NO medical insurance. When I got home, I decided I'd better seek an attorney for help. Thank God, an old TV commercial from the 80's kept playing through my head, "The Law Offices of Samuel Spital!" I did a Yahoo Search & with the ease of one mouse click I found Sam Spital 's web site. I contacted Sam through email that evening. To my delight, the very next morning I received a call from Mr. Spital himself. From the very beginning his only concern was (and always has been) my recovery (from my injuries). Right away, he helped me obtain an orthopedic surgeon, physical therapy and rehabilitation. Mr. Spital continues to go above and beyond what is expected or required of an attorney.
I heard rumors injury attorneys just wanted to quickly settle so that THEY could get paid. Nothing could be further from the truth with Spital & Associates ! If anything, Mr. Spital was able to pull my own reins back on more then a few occasions when I was frustrated, angry and just wanted to settle the whole thing. Instead, Sam calmed me down and helped me think about the present and future. No settlement until I was completely well, and only when the settlement was sufficient . The man is a "Professional" in every sense of the word. He's also given me sound advice on other issues, like gaining 50 lbs. during all this, becoming a chain smoker, and seeking new employment. Sam has turned out to be a good friend to both myself and my mom (yes, he even won over the heart of my 87 year old mom, who came with me one afternoon to a meeting with him. She thinks he's the greatest, and he is). I just can't say enough "good things" about Sam. I have nothing but the greatest respect and admiration for him. Thanks, Sam! "

I called on Sam Spital to handle some of my legal matters, and he did so with great effectiveness on my behalf . There was one legal matter that Sam said was not in his field, so he recommended a specialist to handle the situation. I was pleased he gave me that guidance and he did not try and handle it himself. It was extremely important to me that my dealings would be kept confidential . No one in my community to my knowledge ever knew that I used Sam as an attorney. I can in good conscience recommend using Sam Spital for legal matters."

Not only a victory, but a godsend. Sam and his team worked a miracle and I will forever be grateful."

FROM: NICK JOHNSON
MURFREESBORO, NORTH CAROLINA"When I was in San Diego working on a GOVERNMENT contract I was arrested for DUI . I contacted Spital & Associates after speaking with several other law firms. Sam seemed to be the most willing to work with me considering all of my circumstances. Sam took my case with a minimal amount down, and worked out favorable payment arrangements with no interest, no promissory notes, just my good faith promise. When my finances got worse and I missed several installment payments, Sam was quite patient and continued to work with me. Here's the best part: I never met Sam in person. Everything he did for me was based on mutual trust. Forever Grateful ."

EXOCOM SOFTWARE, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
"I didn't know I needed an attorney until about 10 a.m. Thursday morning to handle a legal dispute. I found http://www.spitalaw.com/ via my favorite search engine and immediately was on the phone with Mr. Samuel Spital [No answering machine; No secretary to screen my call; No paralegal taking the information]. After we talked, I e-mailed Sam more details and within an hour I received his legal analysis and advice. We had another phone consultation though I hadn't even hired him yet!
I was immediately impressed by the ready access I had to a sincere and capable professional. Having someone in your "court" in a time of need is very reassuring. When the other party refused my good faith offer later the same day, I called Sam immediately, for the third time and hired him to resolve my legal matter. He did so before 5 p.m. the same day to my complete satisfaction. Thank you Sam!"

FROM: JAN NOBLE, Project Manager
RAMONA, CALIFORNIA
"Last year at Christmas I found myself suddenly unemployed. My former employer, a worldwide enterprise contract management firm , was under the impression that fair employment practices did not apply to them . After contacting Spital & Associates , I felt immediately better, well represented and confident that I understood the laws applying to my case. Sam guided me through the process of filing the complaint and stepped in to represent me and communicate with opposing counsel . All I had to do was fill in the form and write the summary of my position - Sam did the rest. He proved himself to be an outstanding attorney who has earned his already stellar reputation. He negotiated a settlement with my former employer that I could not have hoped to get without his representation.
You hear many stories about unscrupulous, uncaring attorneys, but Sam is not one of those. I have the utmost respect for and confidence in Sam Spital . He is an outstanding attorney."

AMBASSADOR ENTERPRISES, PORT CHARLOTTE, FLORIDA
" I've never encountered a "big league" attorney who takes the time to get back to potential clients as quickly and honestly as SAM SPITAL has done, even on nights or weekends . Many folks would be content to send a retainer fee to you to secure your services, if for no other reason, you are a sincere communicator who takes the time to get back to their inquiries. SAM and his team of attorneys made sure I understood what was involved cost wise over the short & long haul. Even though we both knew I had a case, Sam was not content to take my money. As I see it, you have gone beyond the realm of your duties as a lawyer . I applaud you highly and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who could benefit from your services."

While I completed the improvements, I got to know Sam and continued to be impressed - not only was he smart, he was a nice guy! A short while later, I found myself in need of legal advice. Sam had given me one of his cards and encouraged me to call him if I ever needed his expertise. I am sure he was just being kind and never could have anticipated the level of assistance I would require. Nevertheless, every time I have called on Sam, he has taken action on my behalf immediately - whether it is a minor collection problem or a product failure issue.
I am a small businessman and Sam has helped my business a good deal. He has always made himself available for my phone calls and questions. His advice and encouragement have helped me take a more professional approach to my business. Not only do I consider him one of the best attorneys in San Diego, I've come to consider him a friend . I often marvel at the combination of two of his many qualities - he is sharp as a tack and a genuinely kind man. It's a great blend!"

While visiting my daughter in San Diego, we were involved in a rear end accident in which I suffered a sprained neck . After speaking with Sam Spital over the phone - he agreed to take my case even though I live in another state and even though I had preexisting conditions that made the case harder to win . None of the lawyers I talked to in Arizona would take the case because it was out of state but Mr. Spital agreed to help me. He is very thorough and followed up with me constantly to make sure I knew what was going on and the type of report needed from the doctors. The settlement was made to my satisfaction and I would recommend Mr Spital in a heartbeat !

"I was in a car accident recently. I wasn't thinking about hiring an attorney, I just know that I was very sore and scared. While at Sav-On Drugs to pick up my prescription, this lady asked: "what's wrong with you?" I replied: "I was in a car accident. She said: "I have the perfect attorney." I told her I don't need an attorney. She stated I should not deal with the claims adjuster because they would take advantage of me. Then, she said: "if I didn't remember anything else, remember this - Sam Spital, a great and honest man that will fight to get what is due to you. " A few weeks later I was talking to the claims adjuster; he made me feel really bad, I didn't know what to do.
I remembered to call Sam Spital. He has been the greatest; whenever I had a problem, I called him and we talked about it. Every time Sam asked: "how I was feeling." He made sure I went to the Doctor's office; he always kept in touch with me. He wasn't the type of attorney where you're just a client. I feel he really cared and that's something you don't find today, an attorney who really takes pride in what he does . Sam really fights for you . Thanks Sam, and may God continue to bless you." -

I selected SAM SPITAL since I remembered his name from living in San Diego before. I called his number on a Sunday afternoon and got a call back that same day. I didn't think lawyers worked on the weekend, but lucky for me Sam did. He took the time to listen and give advice on my case. He also wanted to help me "help myself," so not to repeat the same thing over! Sam connected me with the right people and I got back on the right path. He guided me though the criminal process and answered all my questions. I am doing much better today and making better choices. Thanks for your help Sam ."

Sam was always available via e-mail or phone to answer my questions, informatively, succinctly and always in a timely manner.

"A short time ago, I faced an undeniable case involving two (2) felony charges and up to three years in State Prison . Instead, a plea was negotiated in which I have one (1) misdemeanor, with no jail time, minimal Public Work Service and a relatively minor fine . Sam Spital and his associate attorney worked on my case and obtained the best possible result for me. I really appreciate everything SPITAL & ASSOCIATES has done. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be where I am. When this event occurred, I felt my life was spiraling down and I didn't have control. After meeting with Sam and one of his associate attorneys, they made me realize people make mistakes. Sam promised he would work his hardest to reduce the charges and through the efforts of Sam and his associate this objective was realized beyond my imagination. I am truly grateful for Spital & Associates also putting my life into perspective and making me realize what is really important .
Through their counseling and advice they did not just help me with my legal troubles, but I found out a lot of things about myself and I am a better person because of it. You can say this experience has shown me the light and I am looking to better days because of it."

A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE - ORLANDO, FLORIDA
"I was traveling on September 11th and had a cigarette lighter in my carry-on bag. The problem was that it was metal and shaped like a gun . Although I did attempt to carry this weapon-like lighter onboard, due to the delicate nature of this date of all days, 5 police officers and 5 security guards detained me. Then, I was issueda Misdemeanor citation to appear in Court. My case was even more difficult because I let the Court date go by so there now also was a bench warrant for my arrest .
Sam and his team of investigators were extremely prompt and diligent in collecting the facts. I never had to wonder what was happening with the progression of the case as Samuel Spital always called me first. Sam dealt with the shuffle of government prosecutors and their demands for pleas that did not fit the violation .
Most importantly, SAM GOT THE CASE DISMISSED, with no fine, no jail and no citation . Thank you Sam for a truly amazing job!"

"I was going through a troubling period in my life a few years ago when I was arrested for a DUI. After I was laid off from my job in 2006, I had trouble finding comparable employment because I was on active probation with the DUI conviction on my record. I contacted Sam Spital about the possibility of getting my probation terminated early and having my case expunged/dismissed, so I could try to move on with my life. Sam and his team of lawyers helped convince the court that the DUI was an isolated incident in my life which I deeply regretted. As a result, the court terminated my probation two (2) years early and my conviction was set aside/dismissed . Thank you Sam."

"As a parent, my foremost concern is the well being of my children. I will be forever grateful for Sam Spital's expertise in securing my daughter's professional dental license . If you are a parent, you can imagine how proud I am of my daughter's hard-won achievements and my ultimate concern for her financial well being. So it was after conducting a thorough search and interviewing many lawyers that Sam stood out as the obvious choice: his solid reputation precedes him. Not only do I think he's the right guy for the job, I believe he is the only guy you should hire to resolve state licensing and certification issues.
" Choosing Sam to represent my daughter's interests in obtaining her license was one of the best uses of our family's precious financial resources . Sam acted swiftly, counseled us in all things related to licensure, and gave us piece of mind that the best possible outcome would be achieved in the shortest amount of time. In the end, my daughter received her license sooner than Sam or any of us had imagined. We are overjoyed with our daughter's professional standing and feel a debt of gratitude to Sam for helping her to obtain it. Sam's work ethic and value to our family far exceeds the fee we paid him. Thank you, Sam. You have our full endorsement and recommendation."
