INDUSTRIAL-PSYCHOLOGIST
PASADENA SAN DIEGO, CALIF.
"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 straightshooter- 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!"

"Sam handled my case personally and treated me as an important client. He was professional and worked hard on my behalf. The lawsuit was settled in a timely manner and to the satisfaction of both myself and my former employer. I would definitely use Sam again."
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: BRETT & JEANNE COTTON
C&C GROUP, INC., RAMONA, CA.
"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!"
FROM: SAM RAMINENI
UPS STORE Owner, SAN DIEGO, CALIF.
"I hired Spital and Associates for my personal injury case. They fought long and hard to maximize my recovery. Sam Spital was unrelenting. They even took the case to Judge Bianchini to mediate the dispute. I got a recovery well beyond any I could ever expect. I recommend Sam Spital and his team of lawyers for injury and all other cases they handle."
FROM: HARRY FLETCHER
COO, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, NEW YORK, N.Y.
"After nearly a year of trying to find a reasonable settlement with my former partner on a condominium unit in Bankers Hill, I contacted Sam Spital. 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!"
FROM: SARA ELVIN
Sr. REAL ESTATE AGENT, 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 and 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."
FROM: MICHELLE WINSCOTT, M.D., MPH
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN - SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA.
"I would recommend Sam Spital and Associates to anyone without hesitation. I had never worked with a lawyer before and was quite intimidated and scared. When I first emailed the firm, 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 wanted to take a few minutes to express my gratitude for your services, support and results that you have provided. When you took on my case in November 2004, I was in a terrible frame of mind. 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. I am also pleased that by you handling this case my health and overall frame of mind has improved since I was able to leave my dilemma in your hands."
FROM: BETTE APODACA
MARKETING REPRESENTATIVE - SAN DIEGO
"So often during our everyday rush of doing things we often forget to tell those who have helped us along the way thank you for your help. So I am taking the time now to tell Sam Spital that in my need of crisis you helped me even though you have never met me. I reached out through the internet and found you; you got back to me right away with concern and effort. You told me what to do. You made a difference in our lives and they are better now for it. You did not have to do that, but you did. We are happier, better people because of you sir. My heart felt thank you goes out to you."
DR. DIANA DANG, M.D.

"Sam Spital handled my case with superior results. I didn't want to have to go to trial, and Sam was able to resolve my case favorably by settlement/negotiation. He personally made all the necessary calls, and I am extremely satisfied with the results. He is very professional, and let me know what was going on every step of the way. I highly recommend SAM, and would definitely use his services again in the future if the occasion arises."
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."
FROM: MARIA NY

"Sam Spital is THE most diligent, responsive, articulate, professional and caring attorney on the West Coast! I should know, I've had several former attorneys. My family law case is a very intimidating and huge litigation file. However, Sam took charge and dealt with things head on! I've never felt more secure or at ease than when he represents my concerns. Even if I retain local counsel in the future, Sam will always remain my General Counsel. There are simply no other attorneys who can even compare to Sam Spital. He's an anomaly! If I had the time to start a Sam Spital Fan club, I would do it in a heartbeat! I LOVE Sam Spital!"

"Recently, we became overwhelmed with a real estate lawsuit exceeding $300,000 filed against us. Our previous lawyer did not provide an adequate defense. 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 AND 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. Mr. Spital has our highest recommendation to anyone seeking legal advice/representation from a trustworthy attorney."
BRUCE MERRILL
TRUCK DRIVER, POINT LOMA, CA.
"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 87year 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! "

"For 25 years, I was the C.E.O. of PRETTY & PLUMP, a specialty chain of stores throughout California. During that time, I knew Sam Spital both socially and professionally. 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."

"I was facing very serious criminal DUI charges when I contacted Spital & Associates. Sam Spital and the associate attorney who working on his legal team worked vigorously on my behalf and, ultimately, the prosecutor dropped the case to a simple reckless driving charge. I can keep my license and will not have any alcohol related driving offense on my record. Sam even allowed me to make monthly installment payments. Thank you Sam!"

"My family retained Sam Spital and he and two other associate attorneys worked tirelessly to get my major three-strike felony case with multiple charges, prison priors and enhancements, reduced from a 25 years to life sentence to only a 5 year and 10 month term (with good behavior).
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 Samuel 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."
FROM: MELISSA COLLINS
RESEARCH ASSISTANT

"Sam showed empathy, concern, and diligence in his handling of my "lawsuit for wrongful termination and sexual harassment." During a very difficult time for me, it was great to have Sam and his terrific team on my side. I feel Sam did everything in his power to get a fair disposition for me, and I was able to gain closure on the situation. I also put some unpleasant factors in my life behind me, and I feel fortunate to have worked with Spital and Associates."

"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: SANDY TRUNTZ, R.N.

"I am a native of San Diego and was very familiar with the Law Offices of Sam Spital long before I ever had the pleasure of knowing him. I became acquainted with Sam many years ago. In our first meeting, Sam not only graciously extended his legal and marketing expertise to the business I owned, his legal advice truly became an integral part of the inner workings of the organization. Sam has always been and continues to be available for legal advice no matter how busy he is and no matter how small the matter may b e. He is an honest lawyer, ethical, professional and competent. My association with Sam is truly an honor and it is my privilege to call him my friend.

"I was introduced to Samuel Spital in the year 2000. I was having some financial problems and needed a lawyer that I could trust and depend on.

Thanks to Mr. Spital, today my financial situation is under control. He comes very highly recommended."

"I found myself in need of an attorney after being involved in a car accident. I had dealt with other law firms before turning to Sam Spital. I was extremely pleased with the way Sam and his staff handled my legal matter. Sam represented me in the lawsuit against the insurance company and was successful. I received a settlement that was enough to purchase a new car. I know how deeply Sam cares about his clients. He is an attorney that is truly interested in the welfare of his clients. I found that his law firm was always available to answer all of my questions and address my concerns thoroughly. I would not hesitate to recommend Sam Spital."
FROM: HALLIE MASLER

His own integrity and honesty are of paramount importance to him and, as a result, I know I'm in good hands when dealing with 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."
FROM: ROBERT M. BURNS
PRESIDENT & CEO, 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 nites 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."

"I met Sam in June 2000 when he contracted with me for some plumbing upgrades. I was immediately impressed with his pleasant, professional manner. 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 pridein what he does. Sam really fights for you . Thanks Sam, and may God continue to bless you. "

I was never in the dark... or lost and confused about anything. I appreciated, so much, the personal touch he had with my case. I have to say, if there was an attorney who was ever-so determined, and unrelenting, it's Sam Spital. Now my case has been resolved and I can leave the trauma in the past. Thank you, Sam!!"

He came to our rescue; without delay, Sam accepted our case and responded to our cry for help immediately. Sam e-mailed us back promptly and answered all of our questions. His investigation into our case was thorough and he kept us informed throughout the process. He left no stones unturned and although he took our case on a contingency fee basis he treated our case like he would any other. Now that our case is over we would like say Sam is the attorney to hire. He is the best. ThankYou, Mr. Spital and Associates, for your time and effort."

"Sam, I sincerely thank you for your time with me, Your advice was excellent!! You gave me ideas I never would have thought of....and for free!! WOW. I will follow your advice and let you know what came of it. Makes me wonder why lawyers get so much "bad rap"? Maybe it's because people don't really listen? Thanks again."

"My Daughter was charged with FELONY- BATTERY WITH SERIOUS BODILY INJURY. I called Sam and spoke to him on the telephone. I was nervous because I did not know anything about Sam, but he made me feel I made the right choice.
Sam Spital personally handled the criminal case and treated us as his most important case. When I talked to Sam, I felt as I was talking to a family member. Sam was always available to answer my questions. He took the time to listen to my concerns, he was very compassionate. Sam got the charges down to a MISDEMEANOR- DISTURBING THE PEACE and under $300 Fine.

"Sam Spital immediately replied to my email regarding a wrongful termination issue and took ample time with me on the phone talking about the process I would need to go through in order to create a case. Furthermore, any other questions I had were responded to in the same day and I never spoke with voice mail or a secretary as he answered all of his phone calls personally. Although the best decision for me was to not move forward with a case, Sam's rates are very reasonable compared to the other attorneys I interviewed, he is direct and forthright with the pro's and con's of a case, and I would certainly retain his services in the future if I needed to do so ."

"It has been a pleasure working with Sam Spital and he has our utmost confidence and would be our first contact on any future legal matter. We are confident Sam would either provide us with superior service or direct us toward an appropriate specialist.
Sam Spital represented us in legal proceedings with several school districts for our two sons, and helped immensely. Indeed, this has been our best experience with legal representation in which we had a personal stake. Sam has always been accessible, responsive, and diligent about helping us to contain our costs. Sam's advice and professionalism has been on a par with that I (Buford) have experienced in my work with Federal Government Attorneys as well as private lawyers representing some of Northern California's more powerful economic interests.
Sam is outstanding in his personal attention and concern about the client's economics. He is responsive to client concerns, recruits talented consultants, and gives great value at reasonable fees ."
FROM: DEBBIE S.
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
"When I first contacted Sam about possible DUI charges, he was incredibly understanding and compassionate. He put me at ease and told me what I might expect. I was really impressed he was willing to spend at least 30 minutes discussing my potential case even though I had not yet hired him.
Later, I was officially charged with drunk driving with less than 2 weeks notice to appear in court; I again contacted Sam, who made an appointment to discuss strategies. Sam was always available via e-mail or phone to answer my questions, informatively, succinctly and always in a timely manner. Throughout my whole ordeal, even though I was worried about the outcome, I always knew Sam and his associate attorney would represent me in Court in the best light possible, and my decision to hire Sam was the best one I ever made! If I need legal representation in the future, I will not hesitate to hire SPITAL AND ASSOCIATES!"

MORTGAGE CONSULTANT

"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 AND 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 and 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."

"I was traveling on September 11, 2004 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 issued a 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!"

"My husband and I began working with Sam Spital in March 2005 and found him to be very experienced, knowledgeable, attentive and responsive.
Sam "walks the talk"; his motto "a firm that cares" is true. We are delighted we found his firm and will continue to use him for any and all situations that would benefit by legal representation."

"Everyone knows Sam Spital based on TV commercials, but you do not know him until you've experienced an issue that warrants his counsel. He is a true professional indeed, and in less than 6 months, he negotiated his way towards creating a WIN WIN situation for both of us. If you need someone who is honest, and will absolutely fight for you, Sam Spital is the man.
Our case was dealt via phone calls and emails; however, one day I will have the privilege of dropping by his office and shaking his hand for a job well done. Thanks Sam. We Won!"

"Although I have never met Sam, I have observed Sam's performance and his dealing with my daughter's case. I realized we are dealing with an exceptional person who truly enjoys the work he is doing, is proud of his profession and totally comfortable with his depth of knowledge and understanding of his trade. Above all, he is ready to apply all of these traits cheerfully to assist others in their time of need, as it is his own issues. Simply put, I found a SAMUEL SPITAL to be a man at the zenith of his professional skills and pinnacle of personal achievement sharing it all with others."
FROM: R. L.
FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER - SAN DIEGO, CA.
"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."

"I found Sam Spital by Googling "criminal attorney San Diego". He called me back personally within the hour, and after hearing about my being victimized gave me advice over the phone. He told me the legal basis for and how to resolve my claim. Just having him cut through to the core of the matter let me get a night's sleep. Sam Spital's prompt reply, personal service, wanting what is best for me instead of him, and expert legal expertise are qualities that are rare and wonderful. Thank you, Sam."
