About David William
David William Spalding builds his practice around courtroom work and client counseling in Kentucky. He is a lawyer who combines a formal grounding in political science with a relatively recent legal education. His path has taken him from the classroom to bar association committees and into private practice.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science and pre-law from Western Kentucky University in 2012. He then completed his legal studies at Salmon P. Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University, receiving his J.D. in 2017. Those years framed his interest in the mechanics of law and public policy, and they remain a visible thread in his professional activities.
Since finishing law school, Spalding has worked in Kentucky’s legal community. He has engaged in matters that require court appearances, client advising and drafting of pleadings. He has taken roles that involve professional education and peer collaboration. His work has placed him in regular contact with judges, opposing counsel and clients seeking practical resolutions to disputes.
His service to the profession includes roles with local and statewide bar groups. He has served as Vice-Chair of CLE for the Louisville Bar Association since 2019, helping shape programs that address current practice issues and ethics. He is also a member of the Kentucky Justice Association, a membership he began in 2019. Those positions reflect an interest in continuing legal education and participating in the networks that support trial lawyers in the state.
Outside of strictly legal roles, Spalding holds a Credentials of Ministry license from the Universal Life Church Monastery, authorizing him to officiate weddings. That credential sits alongside his professional roles and signals a practical, community-minded aspect of his work. Colleagues describe him as engaged in committee work and in programming that aids other lawyers in staying current with legal developments.
He practices from Spalding Law, PLLC, where he handles matters arising in Kentucky courts and advises clients on litigation-related concerns. He remains active in bar association programming and in membership organizations that foster lawyer education and trial practice. His current practice focuses on representing clients and handling court procedures in Kentucky.
