Colin Spangler and his team move cases quickly and keep clients informed at every step. Reviewers consistently report fast response times, clear explanations, and settlement results that justified hiring them. Staff members Rebecka and Riley are named for their support. One dissatisfied client claimed the firm took a criminal case outside its real expertise (accident law) and underdelivered, though the overwhelming majority report winning outcomes and feeling heard throughout their cases.
The firm serves personal injury, car accidents, insurance disputes, traffic violations, and criminal matters across Columbia, West Columbia, Cayce, and surrounding Midlands areas. Several clients note they were treated respectfully during emotional or stressful cases and refer others readily. Costs appear lower than typical personal injury firms, based on client comments about affordability.
Recent shift: one strong negative review 11 months ago alleging misrepresentation of criminal law expertise; all other recent reviews remain highly positive, suggesting isolated incident or resolved concern
Setzler & Scott delivers solid results on real estate closings, where clients praise professionalism and availability. Estate work draws sharp criticism: multiple reviewers report years-long delays, ignored calls, and unresolved probate matters, particularly under attorney Joseph Vasquez.
Most clients praise quick, smooth closings and the professionalism of Jared Smith and his team. One seller experienced significant delays in wire transfer processing and poor communication from attorneys, though front desk staff were helpful.
Review evidence is limited. The business is listed in West Columbia and claims over 30 years of operating history, though its website advertises personal injury and accident services rather than bankruptcy or foreclosure work.
