Origin
Roger K. Spencer Phoenix: One Practice Area, Five Decades
Roger K. Spencer earned his J.D. from Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law in 1976 and was admitted to the Arizona Bar the same year. Rather than a general practice, he chose to focus exclusively on commercial real estate law from the outset of his career, a specialization his firm’s own materials describe as spanning nearly five decades. Awesome Attorneys confirmed via Avvo that Spencer’s Arizona bar license remains active, but Avvo also discloses a 2006 disciplinary action by a state licensing authority; the specific nature and resolution of that matter could not be determined from the public sources reviewed for this profile.
Practice
Exclusively Transactional Commercial Real Estate
Spencer’s practice covers commercial real estate acquisition and disposition, financing (including construction loans and synthetic leases), leasing, and construction matters, with related tax and foreclosure services. His firm’s own materials describe an approach centered on identifying every party in a transaction — seller, lender, broker, surveyor, engineer, architect, title company, and property manager — and coordinating the deal from that vantage point. He serves clients in Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale, as well as statewide.
Track Record
Awesome Attorneys did not identify an independent, itemized case-results table for this practice, which is typical for a transactional commercial real estate practice of this size.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every matter is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
Avvo shows a single client review rating the firm 5.0 out of 5.0, describing Spencer as highly professional and articulate. A fellow real estate attorney who worked opposite Spencer on a matter separately endorsed him as a highly competent, professional commercial leasing expert. Awesome Attorneys did not identify a larger volume of independently sourced client reviews beyond this.
Community
Awesome Attorneys did not identify independently verifiable pro bono service, civic board membership, or policy work in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Recognition
Awesome Attorneys did not identify Spencer on the State Bar of Arizona’s current Real Estate Law Certified Specialists roster, nor a Best Lawyers or Super Lawyers selection, in the sources reviewed. His strongest independently verifiable credential is nearly five decades of exclusive, continuous focus on a single practice area.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Arizona real property transactions, title matters, and landlord-tenant relationships are governed by Title 33 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Commercial real estate financing, a named focus area, typically involves Arizona’s adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code (A.R.S. Title 47) for secured transactions. Tax-deferred 1031 exchanges, referenced in the firm’s own materials, are a federal tax mechanism under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 rather than a state-law creation.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Roger K. Spencer Phoenix’s clearest differentiator is nearly 50 years of exclusive focus on commercial real estate transactions — a depth of single-subject experience that few solo practices in this category can match.
The honest trade-off, and the reason this profile leads with it: Avvo discloses a 2006 disciplinary action by a state licensing authority against Spencer. Awesome Attorneys was not able to determine the specific nature, severity, or resolution of that matter from the public sources reviewed, and is disclosing its existence rather than omitting it, consistent with this publication’s standing policy on adverse bar findings. Spencer’s Arizona bar license is currently active with no additional disciplinary history identified. Prospective clients are encouraged to review the disciplinary record directly with the State Bar of Arizona before engaging counsel.
