F. Spencer Gordon graduated “Order of the Coif” from the University of Maryland School of Law in 1986. Following a judicial clerkship, he worked for four years as a Litigation Associate in the law firm of White ford, Taylor & Preston, handling mostly personal injury cases. He left the firm in 1991 to gain criminal law experience as an Assistant Public Defender, and now handles a strong mix of Criminal and Personal Injury cases.

While Mr. Gordon’s experience makes him equally adept at handling both criminal and civil matters, he has staked his reputation primarily through his relentless defense of those charged with criminal offenses. Few criminal defense attorneys can say they have won more cases than they have lost, but Mr. Gordon has done just that, obtaining numerous acquittals in serious felony cases in state courts throughout Maryland. He has won outright acquittals on behalf of four separate clients charged with Murder. Another, against whom the State sought the death penalty, was convicted only of Second Degree Murder, making her ineligible for a sentence of death. In a recent murder case in Anne Arundel County, he developed alibi evidence so persuasive that prosecutors dropped all charges against his client, and his artful negotiation skills helped convince prosecutors in Baltimore County to drop their attempt to seek the death penalty in yet another case.

Mr. Gordon has also won acquittals for clients charged with Rape, Armed Robbery, Burglary, First and Second Degree Assault and numerous other offenses. Indeed, few, if any, criminal defense attorneys can lay claim to a similar success rate when it comes to obtaining excellent results for their clients.

SAMPLE LEGAL CASES

Physician Obtains Downward Modification to Alimony Obligation
In a post-judgment divorce action, a physician was successful in obtaining a downward modification to his alimony obligation due to a substantial decrease in his income.  The parties were divorced back in 2007, and pursuant to the judgment of dissolution, the husband was required to pay alimony to the wife in the amount of $6,000 per month for a period of eleven months, followed by $5,000 per month thereafter.  The amount of the alimony obligation was modifiable upon a substantial change in circumstances in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes § 46b-86.
In Post Judgment Divorce Action, Court Determines that $1.2 Million Payment to Husband was Income, Not Liquidation of an Asset
In a post-judgment decision rendered, the Superior Court of Fairfield at Bridgeport addressed whether a payment that a husband received from his employer after the parties’ divorce constituted an asset or, alternatively, income.  The parties in this action obtained an uncontested divorce in 2008.  As part of their separation agreement, the husband was obligated to pay the wife child support in the amount of $1,600.00 per month.
Child Care Costs and the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines
In a decision rendered previously, the Connecticut Appellate Court explained the definition of “child care costs” as set forth in the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines.  In that particular case, the parties were married for approximately five years and were the parents of two minor children.  During the year of 2003, they entered into a custody stipulation which was subsequently incorporated into a comprehensive separation agreement.  The separation agreement provided that the husband would pay the wife $2,500 per month in unallocated alimony and child support for a period of five years, followed by straight child support.
