EDITORIAL REVIEW

---

This courtroom master has tried more than 300 cases, and represents country singer Don Walser’s family seeking royalties on his masters recorded under contract with Watermelon Records.



The legendary lawyer keeps sparking notable cases, holding a minister accountable for a counselor's verboten relationship with a vulnerable widow.


An outstandingly bad boss had an employee and his wife wrongfully imprisoned in Mexico to coerce him to confess to embezzlement. Spivey helped the worker win $7.5 million.


The former Texas State Bar President is considered one of the top personal injury lawyers in the Lone Star State, having carved out a specialty in legal malpractice. In 2005, he settled a case stemming from a 1998 killing in which a police detective's son used a police gun to murder four people and himself. Spivey originally won a $35 million jury verdict, which the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals tossed. The case settled for $1 million. This attorney is a member of the prestigious International Academy of Trial Lawyers.
