Spencer Crain, with law offices in Dallas and Houston, provides nationwide counsel and representation in matters relating to litigation, labor and employment, bankruptcy, creditors’ rights, commercial real estate, lending, mortgage servicing and special servicing, dispute resolution, insurance defense, admiralty and maritime, trade secret litigation, and business immigration.
The Mission
The Firm prides itself on consistently providing top-notch representation along with practical advice and counsel to assist our clients in meeting their business goals, at a reasonable cost. Each of the eight shareholders left partnership positions in prominent law firms to establish Spencer Crain. Why? Because we believe that our clients will be better served and more satisfied by our ability to provide outstanding legal services typical of mega-firms but at a significantly lower cost due to lower overhead expense. Additionally, we wanted to establish the leading certified majority women-owned firm in the nation – and we are already receiving such recognition.
The Lawyers
Spencer Crain currently has 26 attorneys. The members of the Firm have all been recognized professionally as leaders and outstanding attorneys. Each left long tenures at large firms to form or join Spencer Crain.

Additionally, each of the other attorneys at the Firm also left large firms to join Spencer Crain. We believe our diverse attorneys combine the expertise and service that clients expect from mega firms with the cost-effectiveness that is a hallmark of more client-focused firms.
