Biography
While in law school, John held internships with the largest insurance company in the United States. After working for the insurance companies, John knew he wanted to help injured people. John was hired at a law firm in downtown Saint Paul upon finishing law school. After successfully transforming that law firm, John wanted to do it for himself. He started his own law firm in 2012, growing it into a thriving practice. John has dedicated his career to ensuring that injured people get the representation and compensation they deserve. His goal is to ensure that his clients are listened to, are well-informed, and understand the process.
In his free time, John enjoys traveling with his wife, Hanna, and their sons, Henry and Sam, and hanging out with their two dogs (a German Shepard, Lucy and Goldendoodle, Zoey). You will typically see them on the lake during the summer months and at Minnesota sporting events throughout the year.

Client Testimonials
Jennifer B.
"I found myself needing an attorney following a car accident involving an uninsured motorist. I was not at fault, just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I had some injuries that needed medical treatment. Working with John Spiten and Mickie Curren was straightforward, respectful, clear, and helpful. John explained the law and my rights, but put me in control of making informed decisions about my case. Mickie was responsive and a pleasure to work with as well. I am grateful for the support and the outcome, and would recommend Nicolet Law and in particular John to anyone in need of help understanding your rights and advocating your case following an accident.

"I was hit by a car in May of 2024 while riding my bicycle, causing significant injury to my leg. I had never experienced a medical emergency like this, and I quickly realized I needed representation to help guide me through a difficult, stressful, and high stakes situation. From the initial phone call to explain my case, to the final call after my settlement, the staff at Nicolet Law were genuinely caring and supportive. John Spiten was my attorney, and Mickie Curran was my paralegal. They were both incredible at keeping me in the loop so I fully understood each step of the process. I am very satisfied with the settlement John and Mickie worked hard to secure, and I would recommend Nicolet Law to anyone looking for caring, professional, top-notch legal representation. Thank you John and Mickie for your excellent representation and hard work!!! "Fear the Beard!" "
