I called Spagnola Law Firm because I had a time sensitive legal issue. Ms. Owens received my call and listened attentively to my concern. Her response was I believe we can help you with that. The attorney is on vacation and will return next Monday. When do you need this matter completed. I said no later than Wednesday of next week. She took my information and stated she would get it to the attorney first thing upon his return.
Next day I get an email stating she spoke Attorney Spagnola and he advised her to go ahead and assist me. Further information was shared and the result I am a very happy man as my plans will continue on schedule without my having to forfeit a large sum of money and receive no benefits in return. The Spagnola Law Firm demonstrate to me what service is all about, take care of the needs of your customer as soon as possible and expertly.
I fully recommend the Firm to anyone in the County, City or State of North Carolina and beyond as I am from Forks, WA. Again thank you and continued success in providing the best of services for the client.

I hired Mr. Spagnola to help battle my crazed ex-wife in a bitter divorce/custody dispute. I was awarded sole custody of my daughter. Again, I'm the dad and I got SOLE custody! Oh and as far as division of property goes, my ex got NOTHING. Highly recommend!

Sam Spagnola is a zealous advocate for you. During a time period of my life when my divorce yielded extreme negativity from the mother of my children, Sam was there advising as well as representing the best interest of me and my children. I cannot thank him enough.

Mr. Spagnola represented me with my divorce in April 2014. He always took the time to explain the child custody and divorce process in a calm/confident and professional manner. I was very impressed with his office assistant and they both were very knowledgeable when I contacted them. I would definitely recommend Mr. Spagnola to anyone who is in need of his services.
