About Bradley J
Bradley J Spedale built his legal foundation at a mix of Louisiana and Virginia schools. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in sociology from Loyola University New Orleans in 2001. He went on to the College of William and Mary, where he completed both a Juris Doctor and an MBA in 2006. Earlier studies included time at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge in 1997.
After law school, Spedale moved into private practice. In 2007 he began working as a lawyer at Newman, Mathis, Brady & Spedale, PLC. His career has been anchored in Louisiana courts and the federal Fifth Circuit, jurisdictions in which he is admitted to practice. He has remained involved in bar and professional groups across the state as his practice has evolved.
Collegial work inside professional associations is a steady part of Spedale’s profile. He holds memberships in the American Bar Association, the New Orleans Bar Association and the Baton Rouge Bar Association. He also belongs to the National Association of Retail Collection Lawyers, an affiliation that aligns with a significant component of his daily work. Those memberships provide peer contact, continuing legal education and an ongoing connection to developments in collection and creditor-side practice.
Spedale’s courtroom work and client counsel reflect that orientation. He handles matters related to retail collections, creditor representation and contested account litigation. He appears in state court and before the Fifth Circuit in cases that arise from those practice areas. His day-to-day practice blends litigation strategy, case management and client counseling for businesses that pursue past-due accounts.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in approach and steadied by practical attention to case details. He balances courtroom preparation with efforts to resolve disputes outside the courthouse when that proves advisable. That practical bent shapes how he structures files and advises clients about risk, timelines and likely outcomes.
He maintains offices in Greater New Orleans and in Baton Rouge. His current practice focuses on retail collection matters, creditor representation and related litigation.
