I hired wade for a custody case where I was seeking custody of my daughter from her mentally ill mother. I paid Wade in full up front. I was given a time line of 6 weeks to move the case through the courts. I emailed him over several weeks to get an update and attempted to call his office as well and no response. Finally by chance he answered one day about 2 months out and said he would call me within 24 yours with a court date. 4 weeks later no court date. After a total of 6 emails and the same amount of phone calls and voice messages I get an email apologizing and giving me a court date 1 week from the date he emails me. How inconsiderate is that of an attorney. I am not sure of how he is in court because we didn't make it that far but he is horrible at communication and follow-up.
I have represented clients in criminal cases ranging from underage alcohol possession to murder. I regularly represent people accused of domestic violence as part of my representation in their family law cases. I also frequently represent Virginia Tech and Radford University students in criminal cases.
I represent clients in a wide variety of family law cases. These include divorce, child custody, child and spousal support, child protective services accusations, and protective orders. I have previously worked as a Guardian ad litem for children.
