Adam went above and beyond to provide professional legal representation. He helped guide us through the very stressful and non logistical aspect of the El Dorado court system. Adam was reasonable and thorough which helped us feel good about the circumstances at hand. Dealing with the courts is never fun, Adam made sure to do all of the heavy lifting which in return made it so we could go along with our day to day lives. Thank you Adam Spicer and Co.

I got a ticket just outside of South Lake Tahoe on the Nevada side. I contacted Adam's office to see what can be done to avoid an increase in my insurance premium. Adam asked about my driving records and explained clearly how he would help. About 4 weeks later, Adam successfully got the charge downgraded. Big thanks!

Greatly appreciate Adams defense on our case. He exceeded my expectation, going in to court and clearing warrants that shouldn't of been there without me knowing or asking, staying a step ahead, letting me know what to expect and what to do. Sticking to plan "A" through months of dealing with El Dorado county, Adam got my case DISMISSED Before the trial started. I highly recommend his service. His prices are very fair, you will not be disappointed.

Adam Spicer! I went a little crazy in South Lake in 2015 and left all my court stuff hanging with warrants and the whole nine. I live in texas now and after some research on attorneys in South Lake I decided to hire Adam. He appeard in court for me and haggled with the DA on my 7 charges, got a couple of them dropped and requested a very fair sentence of house arrest in lieu of traditional incarceration, as well as reduced fines. I didnt have to leave texas, although I would not have minded taking a forced mini vacay to show up if nessacary. He also helped me deal with the dmv suspension that

I rarely write reviews for Yelp, but the experience I had with Adam Spicer deserves a rave review!
As a California resident I had received a traffic citation in Nevada and hoped to fight the ticket, mainly to avoid any insurance implications of receiving the citation. I reached out to a number of lawyers including Adam. Adam responded the most quickly - within 12 hours - and offered me a free direct consultation. We spoke right away, for nearly 15 minutes on the phone, and he quickly understood my case and outlined all the specific considerations I should keep in mind. His expertise of the law

In a time of high stress and not having any direction in which to handle the situation I was faced with - I gave Adam a call. And I am so happy I did! Since the initial call, Adam was there every step of the way. He was able to get me the best possible outcome in my situation, and I couldn't be more grateful for it! He truly cares about his clients and if you are looking for an attorney in the Nevada/California region, pick up the phone and give him a call. You won't regret it!

I needed legal advice on a minor traffic matter that occurred while on vacation to South Lake Tahoe. I reached out to Adam's office and was promptly contacted by Adam directly. He had already researched my issue before speaking to me and had great, sound advice on how to move forward. In just my quick dealing with him, I found him to be an attorney of integrity and service-focused. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs legal assistance.

I had gotten into some trouble earlier this year for defending a woman, the next thing I know the DA is charging me with battery. I went to see another attorney in South Lake Tahoe and just didn't get a good feeling from it. I did a little more research and found Adam but he was very busy and could get me in to see him for two days, I was freaking out and very impatient because I had never been in this kind of trouble before. Man am I glad I waited the two days to meet with Adam before just taking the first available appointment with someone else!

I highly recommend Adam Spicer! I saw Adam on Tahoe TV and called his office when I had a legal issue that I needed an attorney for. Adam's assistant answered when I called and explained what Adam would do for me and set up a 1 hour consultation. Adam explained my situation in a very professional and knowledgeable manner. I retained Adam and he did everything he said he would do and more. Adam was always on top of every detail, did what he promised and represented me very well. He took care of every detail from start to finish. Best of all, he really cared about me and my case and gave me excellent

Adam is your best choice for either South Lake Tahoe, CA or Douglas County, NV in my case. Adam definitely under promised and over delivered! This is the most you could ask for in any legal situation I think. Not crazy about airing my dirty laundry here, but I will make an exception for Adam in this case. He deserves the recognition!
I had more than one DUI over the years and catching this one, a block from my residence seemed like my life was over. Adam was extremely professional and we immediately started by doing/playing offense. I had to do a lot of work on my end, but I'm sober and free

Adam Spicer was incredibly effective in having our son's charges reduced. Beyond that, his "bedside manner" was comforting throughout this stressful process. He clearly articulated the calendar of events and potential pitfalls that could arise if unsuccessful. Fortunately, things worked out for the better due to his diligence. We even believe that Adam has served as a positive role model for our son.

Adam helped me with a mip I got on the 4th of July. He was just amazing, extremely helpful throughout the whole process and also the best rate in could find in this area. Even months after the initial court date Adam called me to make sure I had completed all my community service hours and he send it everything in to get my case dismissed. 5 stars all the way

Adam did an outstanding job in handling my brother's case in Lake Tahoe. He is an expert in practicing law in the states of Nevada and California. Adam was extremely helpful and professional. His flexibility also allowed my brother to settle his case in the way he wanted and without showing up to court at all. After working with him, you will find that he cares about his client and always willing to go the extra mile. My brother and the family was grateful to have Adam to work on the case.
Most importantly, after comparing his rate to other law offices in the Lake Tahoe area, you will find that

Although I did not end up hiring Adam and represented myself, I would recommend him for any criminal defense trouble in CA or NV. He is very knowledgeable and informative and thoroughly knows the law. I would have been much more confident and less terrified with his representation but surprisingly things turned out better in my favor than expected. I am appreciative of his free consultation with follow up and answers to my questions. He would definitely be the first one to call (but hopefully I wouldn't have to) for any legła cases up here in Tahoe.

We were extremely pleased with the representation that Adam provided in our legal matter - the outcome was the best we could have hoped for. We initially compared several South Lake Tahoe attorneys, had phone conversations with two, and then chose Mr Spicer. After observing his performance in Court (alongside some other local lawyers), there's no doubt we made the right choice. Of course, we hope to never need his services again, but we would highly recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in need of a good criminal defense attorney or DUI lawyer in South Lake Tahoe.
