I recently hired attorney Dan Knowlton to assist me with a prenuptial agreement. He was friendly, affordable, responsive, and knowledgeable about family law in California. He was more than willing to explain things to me simply, and when I asked a tough question, he took time to research the answer. I was very happy with his services and would use him again, should I need family law assistance.

After 16 years of being a RN, I received an accusation from the Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) for the first time in my career. Unfortunately, I did not seek legal representation immediately. This was the biggest MISTAKE I could have ever made. No matter how big/small you believe your accusations are, SEEK Mr. Spital's legal counsel STAT. You will need time for proper representation. Mr. Spital called me back @ 6am on a weekend. Because of Mr. Spital, I was able to understand my rights as a RN/options, & provided countless advice hours. Mr. Spital could not represent me but his patience, responsiveness and expertise in this field leads me to believe that he is the BEST lawyer for this type of case against the BRN. I've interviewed other attorneys, none come close to the valuable Mr. Spital provided. You get for what you pay for. Do not hesitate to get legal representation from the best since your license deserves nothing but the best!!! - Janice, a Registered Nurse

Sam Spital is an outstanding resource if you are facing potential legal dilemmas and have no idea where to turn. This excellent attorney spoke to me for approximately 20 minutes about a civil matter in which I was literally in panic mode about. The situation was almost embarrassing for me to bring up to anyone, let alone a complete stranger. Sam did a great job of making me feel pretty normal for facing the situation that I was facing, and he laid out a variety of options that I might take in order to address the situation. It turns out that the situation basically resolved on its own (for now at least) and I currently am not in need of an attorney. However, I learned a handful of useful tips from Sam during our phone coversation, and I wouldn't hesitate to call him if I actually needed legal representation for any civil matter. I've actually plugged him into my phone in case one should ever arise. I highly recommend this guy!

I contacted Mr. Spital to discuss a personal injury case with him. He was forthcoming and honest in addressing my case, and he even spent a lot of time with me giving me free advice. Even though mine was not a case he could take, I ended up with a lot of useful information that has allowed me to make progress in resolving my case.

I will be honest and say that my client relationship with Mr. Knowlton is fairly new as I just recently retained him to represent me in my divorce case. However, that being said here are my observations in him thus far, most of the time if not always has answered his phone which can be a common problem amongst attorneys, I had been going back and forth with him telephonically in preparing the territory for my divorce for about a year now as I knew it was not a matter of "if " but only a matter of when my divorce would take place and all through out that time I always remember him answering his phone or returning my call within an hour max. Finally after speaking to various attorneys I decided to go in for a consultation. During our consultation I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and experienced in family law. Unlike other attorneys I had interviewed, he was very attentive and not negative at all, he heard me out with great patience and did not cut me off nor interrupt me once and gave me the impression of a "roll up your sleeves and get to work" type of Attorney. Additionally, he reviewed all my paperwork carefully without rushing through it and made various detailed observations. He did not try to find short cuts or ways to get out of executing any necessary work but was more then willing to get the job done in my complex case. I also found him to be very wise and something that is unheard of, especially amongst most Attorneys, COMPASSIONATE!!! Being an Attorney is not just filing petitions or filing motions particularly in Family Law, it is so important for us consumers to have an Attorney who is neutral to the situation while being compassionate to the families involved something which I found him to be thus far. Furthermore, I found him to be VERY professional and straight forward in answering all my questions and going over our retainer contract, no games or hidden fees, everything pretty straight forward and last but certainly NOT least without disclosing numeric figures, let's just say he was extremely reasonable and affordable , I found his fees to be yielding to my circumstance as a struggling mom going through a harsh and complicated divorce. Finally, although he is very proper and polite that is not to be mistaken for a push over. Unfortunately for me, the opposing party's Attorney is a nightmare and a fuming out of control woman and a person of not much character nor integrity but my attorney for sees no problem in taking her on and quite confident about handling these type of Attorneys. As my case advances I will continue to provide a most recent review of my experience with my new Attorney on this case in hopes that all goes well. Sincerely, a Relieved and content client and "mom".

Outstanding Litigation Defense. Sam resolved our Superior Court case quickly and wisely. I cannot imagine another attorney getting such a spectacular and winning outcome. Thank you Sam for your personal attention and settling this case for my family, and on top of that for about ten cents on the dollar. You are an amazing person and treated us as a close friend.

I cannot state how much I appreciated Mr. Spital spending his time in my consultation. He was absolutely wonderful. He assessed my issue, and was attentive, honest, and most importantly in my case, extremely reassuring. This reassurance was probably what I needed the most, and I can't tell him how much it really meant to me. I have kept all his information, and will be more than willing to refer my other physician colleagues. All the great reviews that you have seen are clearly justified. Thank you again Mr. Spital!

Called late on a saturday evening thinking I would be leaving a message for legal advice and actually got Sam. It was truly amazing what happened, he spent 1/2 an hour listening and providing advice completely free of charge. He helped me shape a letter, with correct wording and just the right phrasing to invoke the response we wanted. This man is hands-on, he shows geniune concern and interest...I can not thank him enough. Pete

I have known and worked with Sam for many years. He has been an amazing mentor, teacher, & friend. He is an excellent lawyer and I have heard his clients compliment him highly. He is very dedicated and hard-working.
