Traffic Misdemeanor

Mr. McCann handled my case expertly and I'm glad I hired him. He took my initial phone call on a holiday weekend and met me the same day for my initial consultation. We went to court and he arranged a plea for me that reduced my fines and gave me 0 points.

Highly Recommneded

I needed legal counsel for each of my older teenage boys, both for separate issues within a two year period (2014 and 2016). My first phone call to Wade was a message of urgency I left on his voicemail at 2am one morning because my son had been arrested and was in jail. Wade returned my call by 8a...m and began working for us immediately, which included visiting my son in jail. He took the situations with each of my boys seriously; he was eager to help and was great with keeping us informed, we didn't feel like just another number. My son's crimes were wiped of their permanent adult record and their probation terms were reasonable as well. His expertise in the law, as well as his personal interest in helping others, gave us great peace of mind. I felt my boys were well represented and as a parent I felt supported.

Wade goes above and beyoned any other Lawyer, He really cares about his clients, always ontime, always answers phone calls!!!!

When I first ended up in my legal problems, I was afraid, confused and frustrated, I found Wade from online and decided to contact him, it was the best decision I ever done in my life! He is extremely confident and knows what he is doing, he told me he never lost a felony case in his long career, ...and to my expectations I walked away from my serious legal problems ( 11 felonies) . I tried other lawyers before, but no one ever like Wade. He gave me his personal cell phone, always answers or texts back. He actually cares about his clients like family! If it wasn't for Wades hard work and determination I wouldn't be writing this review right now online, I would of been writing letters to my wife from prison. Thank You Wade will never forget Your hard honest work.

DUI Case

I do not know where to start on how much Wade has helped me through my legal processes. I was charged with a DUI and a high alcohol percentage of .19. Wade got it down to an impaired driving. He is a great guy that actually cares and is open to any questions you may have. I violated probation once an...d did not hire Wade, which was a big mistake. I violated for a second time and hired Wade and I did no jail time and was given a lighter sentence then if I went on my own. He is not only a professional lawyer, but also a stand up guy that takes the time for you. I can honestly say I have not written a review for anything in my life despite how great the service until now because Wade honestly saved a lot in my life.

Great lawyer !!!

We hired Mr. McCann to represent my son and he was the best to work with. He made us feel comfortable with his knowledge and reassurance right from the beginning. Mr. McCann's experience and skill were inspiring at trial and the case was dismissed. I couldn't have found a better lawyer to help us.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.

Suspension issued in MI, 2006

updated on 05/31/2024

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Wade’s comment:

“This 30 day suspension resulted from an incident in 2002 where I allowed a couple interns to enter names and addresses into a database for a very brief period (later used to send out a political invitation from home) while I was employed by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. I was initially unaware that it was an impermissible use of resources and I stopped the process as soon as I became aware. This did not involve client betrayal or misconduct in the practice of law.”
