Wade is an excellent lawyer! Caring and capable. Looks out for client's best interests. Communicates regularly.

I heartily recommend Wade. My son couldn't have asked for better representation. For those in legal trouble and suffering from a disability, I think you will find Wade to be both compassionate and capable. My son has a mental illness and Wade was able to arrange for my son to get the psychiatric help... he needed before appearing in court. Once my son stabilized, Wade worked out an arrangement for my son to meet legal conditions and report to court monthly. Once my son completed the requirements and made restitution, the charges were dismissed. Yet without Wade's help in getting my son the psychiatric help he needed and providing a framework for fulfilling legal conditions, I believe my son could very well still be incarcerated and mentally unstable. We were very lucky to have Wade as a lawyer.

Simply Awesome!!

Wade has always been there every step of the way. From a DWI, to me forgetting about a traffic ticket. Honest, not money hungry, he has helped me for the past 8 years! There is nothing too big or small for Wade. It was very cool to see Wade featured on CBS's 48 hours "Redemption Song".

Avvo Rating

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.
