Everyone's best option for representation

I am extremely pleased with David. During my DWI case he was there start to finish with any questions or issues I had. He eased my stress as much as possible. His knowledge of the process is exceptional and I know there was no other lawyer suited to handle my case. He was able to turn a potential lif...e disaster situation for me into the best possible outcome I could imagine. I am greatful for David and because of his professionalism and expertise I can now sleep well at night. Thank you David for all you have done for me.

Hired for DWI case….AMAZING!

David Wade is an excellent attorney. He is in contact with you as much as you want/need. Mr. Wade walked me through every step of the process making it easier to get through it and understand what was happening. He is punctual and at the end of the day, he saved my life. Had I went with a public atto...rney for my DWI case I more than likely would have lost all hope for my future career plans. If you do make a bad choice, fix it by making the right one. That choice is to hire Mr. David Wade!

Stop sign ticket

David Wade did an excellent job communicating with me prior to my court date to ensure I had a clear understanding of what was taking place. He was easy to reach and efficient, as he was always available via call or text. He arrived on the court date early (before me) to discuss any offers for reduci...ng my ticket. He was successful and when I stood before the judge it was approved and My three point ticket was immediately reduced to a 0 point parking ticket! He allowed for everything to run smoothly and made sure there were no complications.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
