About Gregory
Gregory Spadea built a practice at the intersection of tax, business and estates. He earned his J.D. from Widener University in 1999 after completing earlier studies there beginning in 1995. His coursework emphasized tax and business law, a thread that has continued through his career.
Early in his professional life he combined legal training with accounting. He is a Certified Public Accountant, though his CPA status is listed as inactive. That dual background has informed his approach to disputed tax matters and estate planning. He holds accreditation as an Accredited Estate Planner from the National Association of Estate Planners and serves as a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority arbitrator.
Admissions include the United States Tax Court, the Federal Circuit, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He also maintains membership in the Pennsylvania State Bar. Those credentials allow him to appear in federal tax proceedings as well as in state-level matters across his admitted jurisdictions.
He has been a managing member of Spadea & Associates, LLC since 2001. Over two decades in that role have involved handling contested tax cases, advising on business transactions, and working on estate planning for individuals and families. The firm name appears in filings and professional listings as both Spadea & Associates, LLC and the Law Office of Spadea & Associates, LLC in various contexts.
His courtroom work includes representation in tax controversies before administrative bodies and federal courts. He also accepts arbitrations through FINRA and has experience resolving disputes through that forum. On the advisory side he prepares estate plans and counsels on tax implications of corporate structures and succession arrangements.
Clients see a blend of legal and accounting analysis rather than only legal argument. He draws on tax training when reviewing financial records and uses accounting tools to frame settlement discussions. Colleagues describe his practice as methodical and detail-oriented, with an emphasis on the technical aspects of tax law and estate administration.
He keeps his practice centered on tax litigation, estate planning and business tax issues. He accepts matters in federal tax court and in state courts where he is admitted. His current practice focuses on tax controversies, estate planning and related business tax matters.
