 Welcome To The Law Offices of Philadelphia Attorney William Spade
Will Spade is a Philadelphia trial lawyer who has become
well-known in a short period of time for representing individuals in
complex, high-profile cases that end up on the front pages of the Philadelphia
Inquirer and Daily News. Will Spade’s Philadelphia firm uses
a team of private investigators, forensic crime specialists, mental health
experts, and financial experts to aggressively seek acquittals in Philadelphia
criminal cases and large jury awards in Philadelphia civil cases.
Spade's clients have included former City of Philadelphia
Treasurer Corey Kemp whose controversial conviction for honest services
fraud is currently on appeal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals after
the trial judge removed a juror who had voiced her desire to acquit Mr.
Kemp. Spade also represented Kevin Felder in a notorious Philadelphia
capital murder case involving the shooting death of 5-year-old Cashae
Rivers.
At the preliminary hearing, the government's four identification
witnesses recanted their statements under cross-examination by Spade.
After eight months of investigation, Spade presented the prosecution
with evidence proving that Mr. Felder could not have killed Rivers and
the prosecution filed a motion to nolle prosequi (i.e., dismiss) the
charges against Mr. Felder, thus vindicating him. Spade's other recent
victories have included winning an acquittal for a man charged with
first-degree murder; and securing an acquittal for an individual falsely
accused of attempting to carjack the car of an off-duty Philadelphia
police officer. In addition,
he has represented numerous other clients on charges ranging from murder
to drug smuggling, securities fraud, money laundering, sex crimes, mail
fraud and tax evasion.
Before starting his Philadelphia law practice, Spade was a prosecutor
with the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office for ten years. He played
a lead role in the grand jury investigation into the sexual abuse of
minors by priests within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and he litigated
several capital homicide cases.
Will Spade prides himself on standing up for and
defending his clients against the most serious and complex of charges
brought by the government, no matter how unpopular the case may be. If the government is attempting
to take your freedom or property or you have been seriously injured by
another person’s negligent or reckless conduct, Will Spade and
associates will zealously fight to protect your freedom and economic
rights.
