Practice Areas
Focused entirely on the people we represent.
Spiering Law represents injured Californians and the families they love. Our practice covers four areas, and we know each of them deeply.
Auto Accidents
From rear-end collisions on Highway 1 to multi-vehicle crashes on Highway 101, we handle every step from investigation to settlement or trial.
Personal Injury
If another person's negligence caused your injury, California law gives you a path to recover. We help you walk it with confidence.
Premises Liability
Property owners owe you a safe environment. When they fail and you are hurt, we hold them accountable for what you have lost.
Wrongful Death
Nothing replaces the person you lost. We pursue full accountability with the care your family deserves through every step of the case.
Why Spiering Law
A small firm with the resources to take a case all the way.
Three things separate the work we do from larger volume practices that may treat your case as a number.
No fee unless we win
Our representation is offered on a pure contingency basis. You pay no attorney fees, no upfront retainer, and no costs unless we recover money for you.
Personal attention from James F. Spiering
Your case is handled by the attorney whose name is on the door. You get direct access, returned calls, and a single point of accountability from start to finish.
Trial-ready preparation
Insurance carriers settle fairly when they know the other side is prepared to try the case. Every file we open is built with that outcome in mind.
Lead Attorney
James F. Spiering
Attorney at Law — Salinas, California
James F. Spiering founded Spiering Law to do one kind of work and to do it well: represent people who have been seriously injured by someone else's negligence. He has spent his career on that side of the courtroom and is admitted to practice before all California state courts.
His approach is straightforward. He listens carefully, investigates thoroughly, builds a case worth its full value, and is prepared to try it if the carrier refuses to do the right thing. Most cases settle, but they settle better when the other side knows you are willing to walk into a courtroom.
James lives and works in the Monterey Bay region and serves clients in English and Spanish. He answers his own phone, returns his own messages, and personally manages every case the firm accepts.

2008
Serving the Monterey Bay region.
I was rear ended on Highway 1 near Carmel and the insurance company kept lowballing me. Mr. Spiering took the case, took it seriously, and got me a settlement that actually paid for my treatment.
I.M — Investment Advisor
After my fall at a Salinas grocery store, I did not know where to start. Spiering Law walked me through every step and treated me like a person, not a file number.
