Wonderful experience

I contacted David Wade to help with a legal issue. David was very kind and caring regarding my specific situation. He immediately started working on my case in a very timely fashion and kept me in the know regarding everything that was going on behind the scenes and with paperwork. He made meetings ...to sign forms very easy, accommodating and quick. From start to finish David was amazing and compassionate towards my needs. I highly recommend him.

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.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
