Congdon, Sandra Szela

When he graduated from law school in 1983, Spencer received a two-year appointment as law clerk to the Honorable Franklin T. Dupree, Jr. who was then the chief judge of the federal court for the eastern district of North Carolina.  After his clerkship, Spencer joined Martin & Jones and began his private practice by handling personal injury and product liability claims.  He first represented a client with an asbestos disease in 1989, and within a few years, hundreds of injured workers had retained him to bring asbestos lawsuits against some of the largest companies in America.  Clients from more than 20 states have hired Spencer and Martin & Jones to represent them over the past decade.

Spencer is licensed to practice in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas.  He is also admitted to practice in all of the firm's asbestos cases presently pending in Georgia.  Spencer and his staff file dozens of claims on behalf of every client they represent.  He has tried asbestos cases in several states, sometimes having to try groups of cases together in order to obtain the fairest compensation for his clients. 

Spencer is active in a number of professional associations.  He is on the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers, serves as State Delegate to the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, and is invited to speak at seminars on a regular basis.

Spencer continues to represent hundreds of asbestos victims, while also representing clients in selected personal injury claims and other product liability lawsuits.  His product liability group includes 4 attorneys, and 14 staff members.  They are all active participants in making sure that every client receives the best representation possible.
