Alongside that commercial record is more than 10,000 hours of paralegal and litigation experience, gained through a combination of direct legal-support work, in-court participation, and extensive case-development practice. He's had first hand involvement in dozens of matters—from property and contract disputes to personal-injury claims, credit reconstruction, and complex federal post-conviction work.

At times he's represented himself pro se, including in proceedings against government agencies and regulated utilities; at other times, he's demonstrated how to strategically deploy counsel, often drafting or dictating correspondence, pleadings, and negotiation frameworks behind the scenes. Those experiences taught him the cadence of litigation, the procedural requirements that decide outcomes, and the value of precision, foresight, and record integrity.

Spencer's paralegal skill and advocacy work also extends into habeas corpus and post-conviction relief, where he's assisted incarcerated individuals with sentence-computation challenges, evidentiary-hearing preparation, and commutation petitions.

Working directly with defendants and, when appropriate, their counsel, he's helped craft arguments and organize records in cases that led to successful reductions and, in several instances, overturned convictions—collectively contributing to more than 100 years of sentence reductions achieved through disciplined analysis and documentation.
