About

I am committed to providing the highest quality legal service and zealously and intelligently fighting for the constitutional rights of my clients.  Recent victories include not guilty verdicts on 6 federal capital murder charges in a RICO conspiracy case, the successful defense of aggravated indecent assault charges filed against a juvenile client which resulted in the County prosecutor withdrawing the charges, and the successful defense of a young woman being investigated by a federal grand jury for suspected healthcare fraud, which resulted in the United States government declining to indict my client.

When I first contacted Will, I was scared and upset. He listened to everything I told him, and had me completely reassured within minutes, that everything was going to be OK. He was very easy to reach, always returned my calls promptly, was very professional, and really seemed to know what he was doing!! He got me the end result I was praying for, which was amazing. I couldn't say enough nice things about him. I would recommend him to anyone!

I was charged with stealing a cell phone, the phone took a picture of me! The person then filed a case! However, the police didn't investigate, they just automatically filed charges! Mr. Spade presented all my evidencecas a landlord being retaliated against from an ex tenant! The DA withdrew all charges in 12 sec in the courtroom! The false accuser is now in prison!! He is not only a good lawyer, but after 11 years of knowing him, i consider him a friend!!

I am ending a legal issue in which Mr. Spade represented me. He was quick to meet with me to review my case. Within a very short time he contacted me to explain the situation and what he could accomplish. This issue could have been career damaging and Mr Spade had the case withdrawn and expunged. He handled my case fast, diligently, and I felt relaxed and that I was in "good hands" after my first meeting with him. I was fortunate to find him in lawyer review and would highly recommend him for any one having a legal issue. Thank you William for a great job representing me.

I had a rather complicated case dealing with white collar issues. William did an excellent job, didn't break the bank, and made me feel safe and informed. You can't ask for anything more from a lawyer. Very impressed and would be happy to call him again.

Mr. Spade gave sound legal advice which helped to completely turn around a stressful legal situation. He is understanding, experienced and knows all the little nuances of law which can make all the all the difference in court. His handling of a case resulted in a successful outcome. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.

Charges dropped. Record expunged. I could not have hoped for a better result. In my experience, Will is a brilliant attorney. He is responsive, results oriented and very personable.

Thanks to excellent representation of Mr. Spade, after being wrongly accused in a incident , Mr. Was able to have the truth told in court in which I was acquitted of all and any wrong doing. My freedom and career was saved and can go back to being a husband and daddy to twins. Thank you again Mr. Spade!

Mr. Spade handled our wrongful death case. Over a period of five years, of government non co-operation and delay, of unresolved grief, and huge legal hurdles, Mr. Spade devoted himself to me and my family. He was always available for consultation, sometimes just to figuratively hold my hand and after the ordeal of experiencing both the death of a family member and the years of facing a government and its employees, with no humanity nor moral support, Mr. Spade successfully concluded the difficult case with positive results. We received a large settlement.

Great guy, very knowledgeable. He is currently working on a criminal case Involving murder and drugs. He has won 90% of the case and is currently pending a motion to Dismiss the 10%, On the grounds of misinformed instructions to the jury. A little slow on getting back to you, but He's Worth his weight in gold! He's also personable and text and email savvy. A good man to have in your corner. The quiet storm!!!
