START YOUR NEXT CHAPTER.
I can’t say enough good things about Attorney Spencer. From day one, she’s been honest, sharp, and fully dedicated to helping me. We had a great outcome in my case, and I honestly couldn’t be happier.
What I love most is that she truly cares. She made me feel heard, supported, and confident every step of the way. I feel at peace knowing I have both God and her on my side.
I’m so thankful I hired her, and I’m excited to keep working with her. If you want someone who knows what they’re doing and actually cares, she’s the one!
"I honestly couldn't be happier"
"My husband followed Carlie from another law firm that we originally were at and went with her when she decided to open her own firm. Best decision that was made. Her wit and knowledge made watching her in the courtroom that much better. She was able to effectively assist us in a "to-the-point" manner.
I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone who needs a good family lawyer. She and her team are phenomenal and were so supportive and thorough during this process. I cannot thank them enough."
"SHE AND HER TEAM ARE PHENOMENAL."
"I recently had my first experience seeking professional representation, and I must say it was overwhelming and confusing to say the least. Selecting the right fit and personality for my situation at the time was of utmost importance! After much prayer, research, and family support. I found Attorney Carlie Spencer who turned out to be an excellent choice. She's not aware of me and my family members nickname her as a "Little Pit Bull" She's a fighter!"
"She's a fighter"
"I followed Carlie Spencer from another firm here. She is fantastic. Her communication is leagues above other attorneys I have dealt with. Her response time is quick. I would recommend her firm to anyone especially dealing with the family courts. She resolved all our problems and fought tooth and nail for us. Couldn't be more pleased."
"COULDN'T BE MORE PLEASED"
I highly recommend the Strive Law Firm and their team for anyone seeking family law assistance. From the moment I contacted them, I felt supported and confident in their expertise. They were professional, compassionate, and always kept me informed throughout the process. Carlie truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome. Thank you for your dedication and exceptional service!
"ALWAYS KEPT ME INFORMED"
My initial encounter with seeking legal aid for my family member left me feeling bewildered. Finding suitable counsel that understood our needs took precedence. Following rigorous investigation and divine guidance, Attorney Carlie Spencer joined our team(family) providing unparalleled support thus allowing us to finally exhale and ending our quest. To me she represented our light at the end of a dark tunnel!
