Attorney William Spiller, Jr Still At It After All These Years – Do You Have the Docs?
This story from Radar Online talks about the infamous attorney’s latest exploits.
Over a decade ago, court appointed minor’s counsel William Spiller, Jr. lied bold faced to a judge. He asked for a journalist, me, to be removed from a custody hearing because he claimed the journalist was a potential witness. That was the first day I ever met the mother who was fighting for any time with her child.
The latest case Spiller is embroiled in is not a custody case, per se. He is going straight for the money. It is a probate case for the substantial estate of the late Nipsey Hussle. Spiller supposedly “represents” the rapper’s 14-year-old daughter, Emani.
According to Spiller, Emani’s mother made a surreptitious recording of the attorney and his client talking, then played it for the judge. Spiller is asking the court to make the mother turn over the tape, the device it was made on and $25,000 for his fees to get the tape back.
Why is Spiller concerned that others will hear what was said?
Emani did not hire Spiller. She had no input into who would represent her. To whom does the attorney client privilege belong? The minor? Her guardians who are trying to keep custody and control of a fortune? Or the People, since it is the government that appointed the minor’s counsel? What does Emani say about whether the recording should be published or not?
Another minor once said he had a discussion with his appointed minor’s counsel, Kenneth P. Sherman. Attorney Sherman told the then 16-year-old boy that he could live anywhere he wanted except for with his mother. The boy chose to live on the roof of the Oceanside Public Library.
It does not appear these minor’s counsel are taking the best interests of the children into account. It seems that they are more interested in wasting judicial resources and padding their own pockets. It seems like there should be some transparency about how these attorneys practice law, especially when you and I often foot the bill.
If you have access to any of the documents in the Nipsey Hussle probate case, please email a copy to bohemian_books@yahoo.com. They would make good Docs of the Day.
I am busy for two months working on an appeal. If I had the resources (time and money), I would file as an intervenor in the case and ask that the recording be unsealed (presuming it is sealed already.) Is there another parent out there who is having trouble caused by William Spiller, who might benefit from hearing the recording between William Spiller and one of his clients?

William Spiller Jr. was the Court Appointed Counsel for my brother. He met with my brother once before the hearing. Heard my brother’s
wishes, ignored them, and proceed to ignore pleas from the family that
my brother was in danger. But he kept on billing my brother’s estate.
He lied to the Judge along with the opposing counsel and aided and
abetted the elder abuse of my brother. Because of unrelenting filings
to the court and video and picture evidence, he was forced to feign
concern for my brother and he was moved to another facility. He kept
gaslighting the court knew that the person who purported to have a
POA and AHCD had defective documents with 3 different dates on the documents and different years, but he ignored that. This
person purported to have a Capacity Declaration and did not, and
Spiller ignored that and kept on billing my brother’s estate. He has
been convicted and disciplined by the California Bar Association, yet
he is still allowed to practice law. Where is the Justice? Where is the
accountability? August 22, 2023, I am asking everyone available to attend the hearing of the Conservatorship of Claude Williams to come and demand that the video and pictorial evidence be
released for the Judge to review and that William Spiller Jr. along with
the rest be held accountable. William Spiller Jr. will be my first witness. He was removed from our case and now will be questioned
as to why his behavior was counter to the wishes and rights of his client.

It seems Spiller aged out of child custody battles and moved to the equally lucrative conservatorships.
If you have docs or recordings you want to share, please email them to bohemian_books@yahoo.com. What time, courthouse, and room is the hearing on August 22? It is not convenient for me to attend, but I will write a blog post with the information.
