Know Your Civil Rights

Our legal counsel provides guidance on how to protect your rights.

Accused of Voter Fraud

Voter fraud, by its legal definition, requires intent. The law does not punish honest mistakes or misunderstandings. Many citizens relied on guidance from election officials and made every effort to follow the rules. Irregularities are not the result of a scheme or deception but rather of unclear procedures and a complex voting system that often confuses even seasoned voters.

When a client does not benefit from the vote in question, nor was there any malicious intent. In fact, in most cases citizens' actions are consistent with attempting to comply with the law—not someone trying to circumvent it. Spencer Law Firm will provide a robust defense to show a client's innocence of malice.

Reverse discrimination deserves defense

Defense of diversity and inclusion—we strive to uphold fairness and equal treatment under the law.

Qualified and capable individuals should not be denied an opportunity. If she has the credentials, the experience, and the commitment, then diversity should not be a cause to discriminate against her.

Let us be clear: anti-discrimination laws are meant to protect everyone. Favoring one group by disadvantaging another creates a new kind of inequality—and the law does not permit that. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act guarantees equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, sex, or orientation—including those who may not belong to a historically marginalized group.

• Facing racial, gender, or religious discrimination at work, school, or in public

• Being denied housing or loans due to race, gender, disability, or family status

• Experiencing age discrimination or LGBTQ+ discrimination
