Mr. Arnold Spencer

Arnold Spencer has spent over 28 years mastering the complexities of white-collar crime and asset forfeiture. A 1994 graduate of the University of Texas School of Law, Arnold isn't just a defense attorney; he is a veteran litigator who understands the federal system from the inside out.
