FREDRICK “RICK” SPENCER, P.A.

ABOUT OUR STAFF

The objectives of the firm are quite simple:

To develop a very personal practice where each client is treated with respect and dignity and their legal problems are efficiently handled at a minimum of cost to them; and to do our best to reach the goals of the clients so that in the final analysis, equal justice for all is achieved in a honest and fair manner. Most importantly, the clients should feel from their first step in this office that they are important, that their legal matters are important and that anything that is said or done in the law office is totally and absolutely confidential. Further, we want them to know that they can rely upon us to keep it that way. Many of the procedures in the office are geared to impressing upon the client our strict policy that we have towards confidentiality of the client’s business – even when that strict confidentiality may be inconvenient to, not only the personnel in the office, but also to the client. For example, we take a photo of our clients to protect against anyone attempting to falsely present themselves as a client to gain access to privileged information.
