Lawyer Overview

Mr. Spiegel is a partner at Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro where his practice primarily focuses on class actions in employee litigation. Recent cases include actions against Abbott Laboratories and the Boeing Race Litigation.

Before joining Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, Mr. Spiegel served as co-counsel for plaintiffs in numerous class actions. As lead counsel for several hundred investors who lost substantial sums of money from investments with Property Mortgage Company, he obtained an $8 million settlement. Mr. Spiegel also helped represent a class of investors that lost millions of dollars investing in the production of oil after the court certified a class based on his argument.

In litigation with AT&T, Spiegel's briefs and oral argument compelled the Ninth Circuit to reverse a summary judgment, obtaining a substantial sum for his client, a company that alleged that AT&T unlawfully changed its policies to drive the company out of business. In another notable case, he served as co-counsel for a family of three that was rendered homeless when a Santa Barbara businessman towed away their trailer, claiming it was on his land, reselling the vehicle and most of their possessions. He helped obtain a jury verdict of $225,000 for the family, after another attorney had obtained a $15,000 non-binding judicial arbitration award.

Mr. Spiegel graduated summa cum laude from St. Olaf College in 1975 and cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1979. Admitted to practice before several federal district and appellate courts, he is a member of the California, Illinois and Washington bars.
