ABOUT SPIVA & HARTNETT LLP

Bruce V. Spiva and Kathleen R. Hartnett founded Spiva & Hartnett LLP with a commitment to providing the highest quality legal representation to individuals, businesses, and associations nationwide. For many years, we have litigated complex cases across the country, including at a large national law firm. Our experience includes clerkships with a United States Supreme Court Justice and judges on the United States Court of Appeals. We both graduated from Harvard Law School and were officers of the Harvard Law Review.

We focus primarily on civil rights, civil liberties, consumer protection, and appellate litigation. We represent consumers and businesses that have been harmed by unfair or anticompetitive practices, as well as individuals who have been victims of discrimination. We also challenge statutes and regulations that impinge upon civil liberties, such as First Amendment and due process rights. Many of our cases are class actions. Our experience and skills also uniquely qualify us to counsel and litigate for clients on a broad range of other topics, including antitrust, wage and hour, voting and Congressional redistricting, business disputes, insurance coverage, copyright and trademark, and computer fraud and abuse.

We bring the same high level of dedication and skill to representing all of our clients. We have substantial experience trying cases and arguing appeals. But we also understand that a successful outcome for many clients entails achieving their objectives without the expense and delay of a trial. Thus, where it serves our clients' interests, we provide counseling and conduct negotiations to avoid litigation.
