The Spencer Law Firm was founded in 1975 by Frederick S. "Rick" Spencer, Attorney at Law when Rick Spencer traveled from Fayetteville, Arkansas upon his graduation from the University of Arkansas School of Law, Fayetteville, Arkansas. Mr. Spencer was born into a legal family. His father, J. V. Spencer, Jr., was a very successful trial lawyer in the south Arkansas town of El Dorado, Arkansas, having been picked for many years by the then state newspaper, The Arkansas Gazette, as one of the 10 best lawyers in the State of Arkansas. J. V. Spencer, Jr. was born of J. V. Spencer, Sr. who was also a very prominent and successful trial lawyer in south Arkansas. Rick Spencer's grandfather began the first Arkansas Spencer Law Firm in the town of Strong, Arkansas at the turn of the century, after being raised in the town of Spencer, Louisiana. The town was so named after Mr. Spencer's forefathers who homesteaded much of what would later be called Spencer, Louisiana in the early 1800's. Mr. Spencer has served as President of the National Organization of Social Security Claimant's Representatives [i.e. NOSSCR]. He founded and was a Past President of the Arkansas Injured Worker's Association Inc. which later became the Administrative Law Division of the Arkansas Trial Lawyer's Association, and continues to be the Chairman of that Division of ATLA, and for over 30 years, he has served as the elected Representative for North Arkansas on the Board of Governors of the Arkansas Trial Lawyer's Association. He has also been elected to represent the north central Arkansas area on the Arkansas Bar Association's House of Delegates. Although Mr. Spencer is a general practitioner, the emphasis of the Spencer Law Firm, which includes an excellent well-trained staff of paralegals, secretaries and investigators, is to help the injured, disabled and those wrongfully injured or killed as a result of negligence or defective products or processes. Mr. Spencer is the recipient of the highest award of ATLA, The Roxanne Wilson Advocacy Award and honored by the Arkansas Bar Association The Arkansas Bar Association Legacy Award, and twice a recipient of the Arkansas Trial Lawyer's President's Award, as well as the Outstanding Service Award by Equal Access to Justice Panel of Legal Aid of Arkansas, as well as the ATLA Champions of Justice Award. He has been recognized by his peers as a national speaker and author of many articles with various national and state legal organizations, such as a speaker at the Arkansas Bar Association annual meeting and seminar on many occasions and a speaker and author for the National Organization of Social Security Claimant's Representatives, speaker and author on many occasions at the annual meetings of the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association, as well as with the American Association of Justice annual meeting and seminar. His subjects have encompassed legal issues with regard to Social Security, Worker's Compensation and jury and personal injury trials as well as wrongful death trial practice and the use of computers in jury trials. He has a trained staff of over ten employees who are paralegals, investigators, clerks and secretaries - some who have been with the firm for over thirty years.
