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.

Hands down the best lawyer around.

For anyone looking for a lawyer that will win,this is your man.Wade got my case and went above and beyond the call of duty. He was very involved in my case always working on it after hours and on the weekends. He kept me informed on every issue. He even paid out of his own pocket on some of the motio...ns that were involved with my case. His research team was spectacular as well,they always found the the perfect information that was needed,sometimes within a moments notice right there in the courtroom during the trial. In my personal opinion he is the best and most qualified lawyer around. He basically gave me and my family a second chance at life. I owe him the world. For anyone out there looking for a lawyer call Wade you won't be sorry. Sincerely Christopher Woodward . Thanks for the new lease on life Mr. Wade mccann. The best lawyer around.

A calming presence

As per most things of this nature, we needed a lawyer right away for our circumstances stemming from an event in 2013. Wade represented our family in a lawsuit regarding unfounded accusations towards one of us. He represented us and suggested we use additional methods to ensure our innocence. Af...ter giving him a call, we met with him about our situation. From the first few minutes, Wade's calm demeanor and knowledge brought us back from the ledge. His knowledge of the process and assurances helped us weather a difficult time in our lives. The outcome was in our favor and we were extremely happy with his thoroughness and understanding of our situation, ending in the first half of 2014. We couldn't have wanted a better lawyer to represent us. As strangers to the court system, we could have stumbled upon anyone with half the credentials of Wade and been disappointed with the outcome. I would endorse Wade for any legal trouble you might have.

Strong counsel and representation

Mr. McCann was highly responsive, accommodating communication at all hours. He is a good listener and took extensive time to consider my input as a client and discuss multiple courses of action, risks, and outcomes from his experience and knowledge of applicable law. His counsel was valuable and in-c...ourt representation was first-rate relative to my observations through-out the process.

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.”
