Brian J. Spencer
Founder / Attorney
Since January 1, 2013, Spencer Law Offices has obtained over $13,000,000 on behalf of victims of serious injuries and death. Brian believes that the keys to success in this field are intelligence, hard work, patience, and integrity.
Brian takes pride in his blue-collar roots: his first real job at age 14 was cleaning up after butchers, and his first job out of college was in a factory working alongside monolingual Spanish speakers. Brian brings this background to the law: serving the legal needs of society’s victims, people facing medical bills in the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars, a long-term inability to support themselves, and lives altered by constant pain and disability.
Brian remains an active member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice.
