California Child Custody Lawyers

I want to share my heartfelt thanks to Wade Litigation in Los Gatos, especially to my attorney, Jennifer Moore, and her entire legal team. They were absolutely incredible in helping me through my visitation case with my son. Jennifer was not just professional and knowledgeable, but also genuinely compassionate and supportive every step of the way. They made a challenging process so much easier for me, and I truly can't thank them enough. I'm so grateful for their dedication and amazing support.

Wade Litigation was a great experience under the circumstances of what l was going through for child custody. My attorney, Xochitl Urena, and paralegal, Kate Spearman, were absolutely wonderful making things easier on my end. Making sure that I had everything I needed and made me feel heard and safe. I would highly recommend Wade Litigation because they provided more than just documentation and making sure everything was set in a time manner but provided reassurance and encouragement and fought for my rights. Going to court can be a scary, Xochitl Urena made me feel secure and comfortable representing me and I truly appreciated the check ups as well! Thanks to their team I have peace!

Wade Litigation took on case even though very difficult. We live near Sacramento and their attorney came to our courthouse. Our case took six years to get settled and Wade Litigation was very patient. Steve Derby was our attorney that settled the case. They were very patient with retainers, provided monthly reports kept us fully informed all steps of the way. Excellent company and excellent attorney. Mr. Wade is more than willing to listen. If you have any concerns, I would highly recommend Wade Litigation to represent me, if ever needed.

Going through a divorce was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, and I honestly don't know how I would've managed it without Wade Litigation. From the start, they made me feel like I wasn't alone in the process. Every time I had questions or started to feel overwhelmed, they were patient, clear, and really took the time to explain what was happening and what my options were. What I appreciated most was how much they seemed to genuinely care. I never felt brushed off or like my case was "just another file." They were consistent in checking in, keeping me updated, and making sure I understood each step before moving forward. That gave me a lot of peace of mind at a time when everything else in my life felt upside down.

Outstanding Service from Wade Litigation and Attorney Sosan Akbar I had the privilege of working with Wade Litigation, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, their entire team demonstrated a deep commitment to providing outstanding service. Our case was personally handled by Attorney Sosan Akbar, and after just one conversation with her, I knew we were in the best possible hands. Her professionalism, strategic thinking, and bold advocacy gave us confidence throughout the process. Despite the emotional toll our case took on our family, Sosan fought tirelessly on our behalf, always putting our needs first. Her expertise in family law and her ability to communicate clearly and effectively made all the difference in achieving a favorable outcome. If you're looking for an attorney who truly cares about her clients and will go the extra mile, I highly recommend Sosan Akbar and the team at Wade Litigation.

I genuinely have nothing but positive things to say about Wade Litigation. Robert Gigliotti my Attorney put me at ease right away and kept me informed at every stage. Whenever I had questions, they responded quickly and provided explanations that actually made sense---no pretentious legalese. But it was the genuineness with which they seemed to care that made all the difference. On their desk, I never felt like just another file. They took the time to truly comprehend my predicament and treated me with genuine respect. Such individualized care is what stands out to me. Always keeping me up-to-date with what's going on with my case and the courts. Stephen K.

Wade Litigation has my highest recommendation. Although legal issues can be challenging, Robert Gigliotti my divorce attorney gave me a lot more peace of mind. He provided me with clear explanations, kept me updated, and never made me feel like I was bothering them with my questions. Tiffany Parker my paralegal I was especially impressed by her sincerity. Especially when your case takes months and months. I never felt like another case on their desk because they genuinely cared about helping me, and it showed in the way they handled things. They always answer my questions very promptly. If you want a company that will actually listen to you and that have lawyers like Robert Gigliotti to support you during the entire process, Wade Litigation is the one to pick. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone.

My experience with Wade Litigation has been life changing. Xochitl Urena and her entire team treated me with care. They were detail oriented, explained the process in detail, punctual in both responses and court filings, and went above and beyond to guarantee we won our case. Xochitl gave me courage to stand up for myself and my family. She's an expert in her field, but she's also an expert with people, and I always felt cared for. Thank you Wade Litigation and Xochitl!

Absolutely phenomenal team that a) stepped in when I was sure no one would and b) treated me with respect, kindness and transparency throughout the process. Every question I had was answered quickly and thoroughly and they were professional and effective. They have saved me so much stress! Would absolutely use again, and recommend to anyone for legal needs.

We retained Steve Derby of Wade Litigation to represent us in a real estate dispute after purchasing a renovated property with major undisclosed defects. There are so many good things to say about Steve, Steve countered each of their filings effectively, securing rulings in our favor. Throughout the litigation process, Steve was consistently responsive and took the time to explain each step in plain language, which gave us confidence and peace of mind. The result: We won almost the full compensation requested, plus legal fees. This outcome would not have been possible without Steve's expertise and relentless advocacy.

I'm so Happy with the results I got with my team at Wade litigation. I was dealing with an ugly custody battle. I had some discouraging consultations with a few other attorneys And I'm so glad I chose to go with Wade litigation. Thank you to Ryan, Asia and Kelley for all your help and support.

I live in the Monterey Bay Area and trying to find an experienced Civil Attorney was a nightmare to fight a frivolous lawsuit. After some google searching online, I found Wade Litigation. All I had to do was provide them with a time line and police reports; it was all taken out of my hands after that. My Attorney, Evan Livingstone, and his staff was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough to the point that they shut down the petitioners case with a SLAPP motion. They were reasonably priced for someone with knowledge of civil law and in the end we retrieved a motion for some of our attorney fees.. If I ever had to go through with something like this again Wade Litigation would be my first choice.

Wade Litigation has been very helpful to me at a very hard time in my life. My attorney Jennifer Moore and her team were very professional at all times and made sure I understood everything along the way. The office staff always made me feel like I mattered. They are all very wonderful people. Noelle C.

Wade Litigation truly saved us. We had a year long court battle regarding child custody and we live extremely rural with limited to no options for legal services. We found Wade Litigation online and they said they would service us in any county. Ryan Romero was our attorney and did more than phenomenal! The communication was great, he was knowledgeable, and ultimately we had great results in court. We only felt comfortable having Ryan represent us moving forward. We will hire him again and again as needed for our legal needs. He was worth every penny.

Robert Gigliotti was my attorney. He was very professional, always kept me updated on my case and told me what the worst case scenario could be. And I appreciate that! Thankfully due to his vast experience as a divorce attorney it didn't come to that. I am very happy with the results and outcome Robert obtained for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Gigliotti and have told my close friends about Wade Litigation.

Wade Litigation definitely did what they promised and Ryan Romero and his team were fantastic! They worked hard and got the job done. The compassion that was shown throughout the case definitely made me feel at ease and confident in my team and the process. Had an amazing outcome and I give a big thanks to Wade Litigation and the efforts made to achive our goals!. Thank you!

Contacting Wade Litigation was the best decision I made during a very stressful time. I was going through a difficult custody battle and paired up with Attorney Jennifer Moore. Mrs. Moore was very knowledgeable in custody disputes and had an excellent open line of communication. She is a very good attorney and was able to have my issue resolved and was extremely supportive during the duration of events. I would highly recommend this group for child custody cases.

I hired Robert Giglotti with Wade Litigation to represent me during a very stressful and emotional legal situation. From the very beginning, he made me feel supported, informed, and confident. Robert was incredibly professional, yet personable, and truly took the time to understand my concerns. When it came time for court, he was fully prepared and didn't miss a single detail. His presence in the courtroom was reassuring, and his expertise was clear. I am so grateful for the care and dedication he showed throughout the process. He and his team treated me with genuine compassion and made me feel like more as comfortable and confident as possible given the situation!. 5 stars!

Wade Litigation helped me with my divorce & child custody case, I believe they did excellent work, providing me quickly with information, their communication, professionalism, and consideration on the matter really good. My ex wife took one of my children on false pretense of when my daughter would be returned. It was a very stressful situation and Wade Litigation appointed me to a great attorney who answered all my questions, helped me put me at ease. Not only did they help me get my daughter back promptly, they helped me get full custody of all my children & finalize my divorce without going to trial. It was a relief having Wade Litigation deal with all the paperwork & representing me in court versus if it would have been just me representing myself. Trying to deal with daily life & my other kids, & work & school & at the end of the day trying to deal with court paper myself & filings, would have definitely taken a toll on my physical & mental health. From the start through the inquiry process it was prompt & professional. Following that was a scheduled consultation where I had my questions answered & given an early outcome of my case based on my circumstances. Throughout the hearings I was represented in court on time & with my desired outcome in mind for my case. For my first time hiring an attorney I had the most pleasant experience as a client with Wade Litigation & If i ever had another legal problem I would definitely come back with them to help me sort it out.

Jennifer Moore is the best family law attorney you will ever find and I know this as FACT because I have been through 5 different attorneys In the last 8 years since the fight for my son began. Some of them were from high-end firms and some were single man operations, and not one of them could face the antics of the nastiest, most unethical, punitive, and vindicating opposing attorney ever seen. The attorney we are against has longstanding lineage in our court, and she is not shy about flaunting it. The trickery and low level stunts have gone as far as confirming information we sought for clarification, just to return us to court for emergency orders a week later, saying we were deliberately not following orders, the exact orders she just confirmed. I have had 4 attorneys, fully established in my case, leave on their own accord, bc they could not allocate the time and resources needed to rebuke the horrific accusations and field the unethical, unprofessional roguery. 2 of them even voluntarily gave my retainer back! The last attorney had given up, yet felt too bad to quit, then just showed up to court, completely unprepared, and disengaged, and not even trying anymore. I was furious and heartbroken. I had truly lost all hope. I was sure the "other side" had done enough damage with their persistence and performances, that I really might not ever see my son again. Then I found Jennifer Moore here at Wade Law. Before today and this writing, I had not yet tried to sum up her incredible abilities or my gratitude for her, other than just assuming she was a gift sent by God, and not questioning it. I have not seen my 11 year old son in almost a year. I can not call him or even speak to him. I was the mom that was at every single football practice, sitting in the rain, cheering him on, even on dads nights, just to walk him to the car for 10 minutes and hear about his day. I had only missed one single practice in his whole life before all of this fighting. I was there for everything... absolutely everything. But NOW, Jennifer has been on my case 6 months and I already have my first supervised visit coming next week!! Jennifer is slaying the beast!! She takes No $h/t and does not back down. She is smart, savvy, witty, cleaver, and LIKED by the judge. She has caught up to speed in my case in record time. She shrugs away the personal insults and blatant disrespect from the other side, like a true class act, and she even tosses in the unsuspecting "actually, here are the facts" whenever possible. It is a pleasure to sit beside her in court and watch her set things straight. In addition to out scoring and overcoming the pressure in the courtroom, she has been such a joy to work with! She is fun, kind, empathetic and devoted. She has held me in the hallway while I cried, and cheered me on and reminded me of our true purpose when I have been discouraged. She takes the time to explain every aspect, to answer questions others wouldn't, and she includes me in every angle or layer of contemplation. I feel like we are fighting my case together for my son, whereas previously, I felt I was dragging and begging my attorney to defend me. Even tho there is no way to ever know what to anticipate next, I can truly say I feel a strength and certainty now, with Jennifer leading my case, that keeps me strong and sleeping well. Jen's assistant Gina is just as incredible and supportive and the co-pilot I have been so desperately looking and paying for for YEARS. Jen will shoot you straight with what she sees as obstacles, and she will spell out EXACTLY what you need to do so you are not left drowning in mental scenarios and grasping at straws. I just can't say enough about her skill, style and ability. You can not find better help. Best wishes to any and all of you fighting for time with your kids. May this be the saddest era in our lives, and the years ahead somehow make up for this pain. Sincerely, Christina and little Garrett Freya C.

Back in August 2024, I was in a renter/landlady mess. When the event happened, I was highly stressed and had no direction in proceeding with my situation. I called several law firms using Google search. Then, I found Wade Litigation and left a message. Terri called me back fairly quickly and listened to my situation. She immediately takes action to talk to the group about how to help me. Then, Evan was assigned as my attorney to represent me. The first time I was on the phone with Evan, I carried my frustration toward him. He did not repay emotion to me. Instead, He was very rational and showed empathy for my situation. He told me, "" This is not going to be easy. But, you must trust the process."" I took his words to heart and trusted the process of his lead. I respect Evan a lot as an attorney. He does not put other people down to get results. He takes time to understand the situation and suggest options for approaching it. He reads all documents, even if they are tiny fine prints, to present the facts during negotiations. He is always very responsive and makes me understand what to expect. He always communicates openly with me and leads me toward the right path. His professionalism, expertise, and ability to share recommendations with a calm demeanor guided me through dark times. Now, my case is closed with the result that I desired. Thank you, Evan!

Katerina Vita of Wade Litigation represented me in two separate trust litigation cases. She is extremely knowledgeable, efficient and an aggressive advocate for her clients. Justice was served in both of my cases as a result of her diligent research and skillful strategies to expose the truth. I highly recommend Wade Litigation as an A+ legal firm with a fantastic group of professionals who go the extra mile for their clients!

Back in September of 2018, I was served with a Federal lawsuit involving allegations of fraud, money laundering and RICO/racketeering. When I sat down to try and read the 155-page document, I was shocked, distressed and deeply saddened. Was this a bad dream? How could this be true and how could this be happening to me? When I inquired why this was being done, I was simply told that within 21 days, I had to find someone qualified to represent me. Fortunately, during my search, I came across some reviews of the Wade Litigation and decided to contact Amiel Wade. As I explained the numerous and misleading allegations, the Wade Litigation provided the proper guidance, and, thankfully, after 13 months of hard work and consistent support, Attorney Wade and his team were able to have the lawsuit dismissed. I don't know if I have the words to adequately express how sincerely grateful I was to have had the Wade Litigation represent me. I would offer my highest recommendation of the Wade Litigation to anyone who may need legal representation.

I live in San Diego and was ambushed with a temporary restraining order in Family Court and needed to respond within days in Los Angeles county. This surprised me, created significant emotional stress, and logistical issues. I called dozens of firms in both San Diego and LA, but got the best support and intake from Wade Litigation (Los Gatos) and my attorney Victor Bullock. I was able to retain them, send documents, and get initial feedback and insight on the phone. Victor was calm, strategic, reasonable, and set expectations in an emotionally challenging situation. He was a great sounding board, which helped give me confidence in our case and allow me to focus on elements essential to support our defense. I was confident entering court with our work. He was methodical, focused, and kept the other side from evading the relevant questions. Family Law is stressful and Victor Bullock made clear and relevant arguments to win my case. I hope I don't need to go back to family court again, but I would immediately reach out to Victor at Wade Law.

Wade Litigation genuinely cares about their clients and provides Litigation specialists at retainer that is affordable. The quality of Attorney's on staff is unparalleled in my opinion, and customer satisfaction comes first at Wade Litigation, with lots of follow up and great communication from Paralegals, Attorneys, Intake and Client liaisons. Mr. Wade accolades and accomplishments are what attracted me to Wade Litigation.

"I have been very fortunate to be represented by The Wade Litigation. Don't fool yourself, the legal process is long and arduous. Who you choose to represent you will cause a massive impact on your wellbeing during a part of your life that may last for years. Being represented by someone who will set your mind at ease and not get flustered is worth more than you can imagine. Litigation is not my area of expertise, the illogic and mechanism of the court system is daunting, which is why representation matters. Amiel can always be counted on to represent me in court with grace and a deep understanding of the judicial mechanism. Highly recommended."

My experience with this firm was amazing! Casey Bradford was professional, thorough, and very responsive. My questions were addressed proactively. It was like she was able to anticipate my concerns. Additionally, this is the only firm I've worked with where THEY call YOU to provide updates and inquire about your level of care and satisfaction, while your case is in progress. Highly recommend!

I would recommend this firm. I contacted them to assist me with my divorce and they jumped into my case right away. The attorney Amiel wade and the paralegal Vanessa pinto were both great. They returned my calls right away and kept me updated regularly. I thought that my case would drag out but they got me results fast.

My mother recently passed away and left me her will. I have 2 other siblings and they didn't even show up to the funeral however they felt they were entitled to some of the money my mother left. I honestly didn't know where to start as I didn't think that they would be that entitled. They lawyered up already prior to confronting me and demanded money. I did the best I could and after doing some quick research I came across this firm. I was in a quick time rush as you can imagine since they already had a lawyer. I talked to Rita who seemed very nice a receptionist I think, and she directed me on the same day to talk to Jason. After explaining my circumstance to him and answering a few of his questions he said we can take my case and sent me over the forms. After paying for my retainer, I was again same day reached out to by a lawyer named Katerina and was explained in full detail of what to do next. We are still in dispute with my siblings, but we are making major headway. I am very thankful that this team was so willing to help and get everything done and organized for me in a timely manner. Fingers crossed for the best outcome!

I gave this review because I have had nothing but a great relationship and communication with this firm and especially with my attorney Katerina. It has been a year and justice and the law does take a very long time, but we are finally at the point of a good result and by the end of this year, hopefully, the worst is over. I have already approached this same firm to coordinate and help with the next steps in my process. Family law and probate court were scary thoughts and when it came to my mother's trust and the issue I had with the appropriation of assets and the assigning of trustees after ten years and the end of it coming soon, I WOKE UP! Manipulation, undue influence, unforeseen backstabbing, and elder abuse all rolled into one. To me now, to mom then. It is sad when fear of one, causes greed from another and caring for one causes being used by that other. The law is just as the Lord is good. Gilberto G.

Wade Litigation is an excellent law firm with compassionate, supportive, and responsive attorneys and staff. My attorney, Larry Elam, not only fought FOR me, but also PROTECTED my interests! Larry was reassuring, articulate, knowledgeable, and effective. He gave me peace of mind during an emotional and stressful time in my life. I really appreciate everything he did for me! I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs sound legal advice and a trusted friend to guide you through a complicated legal process.

I came across Wade Law on googling family law in my area and after doing some research on the company I called and spoke to Evan. He was very polite and straight forward. After listening to me about my case and asking me questions he told me I would be able to have a same day consultation with one of their consultants Terri. I have nothing but good things to say about Terri. She explained the process of how a typical filing for divorce would go in the first 10 minutes of our consultation, then asked how I would like to proceed. After giving her my thoughts and actually being listened to, she instructed me on what to do next and soon after our consultation sent me forms to sign to get started on my case. I was a little hesitant since it seemed to easy at first, but maybe it's supposed to be this easy? I ended up looking up lawyers from wade law and checking out their Avvo profiles and nearly all of them ranged from high 4's to 5 stars. All in all, my suspicions were cleared and a few days later I signed the forms and reached back out to Terri to find out the next steps. Later that day I got a call from my lawyer, Michelle, who already knew about my case, but still asked me to explain what I would like the overall outcome to be. I felt like I was actually being listened to and that this divorce would go fairly smoothly, well as good as any divorce would go. There was some times where there was some miscommunication, but after calling Terri and being redirected to someone named Serena, everything was taken care of. I am just starting to file for my divorce, but I would highly recommend Wade Litigation, they have been nothing but accommodating towards me.

I originally called this company in a panic about a rough custody issue I was going through. From intake to resolution everyone was so helpful. My attorney walked me through all the options and laid out the stuff I didn't want to hear. I appreciated the honesty. My last attorney basically told me he could get me whatever I wanted and as it turns out he could not. Michelle was great. thanks for everything

"There is no easy way to say this... finding a good lawyer who actually does what they say they will do is extremely rare. My overall experience with other law firms (not going to name drop) would be something like: they make promises they can't keep, take your money, and go awol till you hound them with 20+ calls... Now when I went to Wade Litigation at first I was pretty hesitant... and sure there were a few set backs. BUT did I win? Yes! Their team knows how to delivered and that's not an understatement. I provided what my case was and my concerns... at first I was thinking was that it? Because the other law firms I spoke to kept on giving me false promises and filling my hopes up. But instead of the usual song and dance I experienced with other law firms my lawyer at Wade Litigation went straight to work and kept constant communication with me. (Rare for law firms apparently...) Overall, what was really refreshing was that they were honest. They didn't say we will win, but that we will try to get the best possible outcome for you. Within 3-4 months my case was finished and without divulging much about my case WE WON! Can't be happier! Thanks Wade Litigation!"

I was being sued over a business dispute and had no idea how to respond or complete all the paperwork. The first attorney I hired really messed up and the paperwork had to be re-done. Then the paperwork just kept piling up. The attorneys at Wade Law assisted me with the responses, hearings, and settlement conference. It was a very positive outcome to a very negative and overwhelming experience.

Wade Litigation did everything I wanted! We fought my mother's 'friends' who were trying to poach my mother's properties from us. If you have legal issues in regards to inheritance I strongly recommend this law firm! As I said in my original review, you get what you pay for. Was it expensive? yes. But would I be very upset if we lost my mother's properties? 100% yes.

I'm so excited that I choose this firm!!!! I had two other attorneys before choosing this firm. The first attorney took my money and didn't do any work. Thank fully I got a full refund. The second attorney I went to did work, but the work wasn't up to par. It seemed like she didnt know what she was doing. Now that I have been with this law firm for a few months, they actually get the work done by a certain deadline and keep me in constant contact.

My ex is a lunatic ATTACKING me on fb and kept showing up at my house all the time and stalking my new bf all I wanted was to leave him and start my new life, but he just wouldn't leave me ALONE. I finally had to get an attorney and wade law get a restraining order and now he has to leave me alone! Thank you Wade Litigation

I don't normally write reviews on services like this, however,Wade Litigation has literally changed my life for the better. I was going through a messy divorce and when I say messy it was extremely messy. My ex husband was very abusive physically and mentally to the point where he would even attempt to hit the kids and belittle them so much that they would come crying to me... You get the picture. I ended up leaving momentarily with the kids and sought out legal help shortly after. Ultimately, all I asked of Wade Litigation when I hired them was for a divorce and full custody. However, Wade Litigation went above and beyond. They did the divorce for me and the result was full custody, alimony, and child support for 2 kids. Then, shortly after when my kids and I uprooted our life and started over, I was getting major lash back from my ex husband. Anything and everything you could possibly imagine it was done. 20-40 calls a night, hundred of hate texts etc. I called Wade Litigation back up and less than a month I had a restraining order in place. From day oneWade Litigation has had my back, they listened to my problems and found the best possible outcome for me. If anyone is experiencing the same problem I had, just know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Wade Law was able to help in a custody battle for my two children. I came in knowing nothing and was extremely intimidated. The initial phone call is always the hardest for me, but they were able to alleviate some of my fears. When I came in for a consultation, the team laid out an easy to follow plan that helped me regain some confidence in the whole process. It can be difficult, but I would recommend anyone seeking legal counsel in family law to give Wade Law a ring. A knowledgeable professional can make all the difference.

Xochitl Quesada from Wade Litigationp represented me in my child custody case. The reason I hired Ms. Quesada was because she came highly recommended by Amiel Wade, owner of Wade Litigation, who successfully represented me in my divorce. My child custody case was a very difficult one, especially since my ex-husband hired a Beverly Hills powerhouse attorney because he was adamant to gain full custody of our three children. Through her dedication and diligent preparation, Ms. Quesada not only outwitted the opposing attorney but was successful in convincing the judge to award me 100% physical and legal custody. She is experienced and extremely knowledgeable in family law and I was very fortunate to have her represent me. Through her persistence and vested interest in my case, the outcome changed my life for the better and I am now able to raise my children.

Thank you so much to Brett for his professionalism and expertise. I had a conversation with him about an eviction and real estate offer from a family member and we were able to have a quick conversation on our options and how we could proceed. He was able to assist me in making a decision that didn't use their services, but I know in the future if I need a lawyer involved, I can count on them. He made me feel comfortable about my decision & we were able to use his advice to respond back to the lawyers ourselves. Thank you again, Brett. Appreciate you walking me through the process and options. If/when we need a lawyer, I will definitely come back!

I contacted Wade Litigation and spoke with Brett about scheduling a meeting to discuss a small claims suit and from there Dave McGraw picked up my case. Brett was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dave has been amazing, he walked me through my case and has answered every anxious question I could dream of. He's provided guidance and informative explanations that quelled my anxiety about my hearing. If you are looking for caring and effective lawyers then you will not be disappointed with Wade Litigation. My experience has been amazing and if I could give more than five stars I would.

This review is to share my onboarding experience with Brett Martin, Director of the firm. After feeling so dismissed, vulnerable and blind sided following my first two court hearings, I simply wanted to be heard. When I asked for Brett's attention during my initial consultation with him, he gave it to me. Brett was kind and offered the support I was in dire need of. I felt safe, finally. Plus he was very responsive and quick to hop on a call with me for follow up questions I had. It was the above court hearing experiences that led me to wanting to retain an attorney, which I was still intimidated by for a number of factors. It was my experience with Brett that confirmed I had come to the right place and was making the right decision in spite of my fears.

I have received outstanding support throughout the process of my Legal case. Mr. Wade and his team at Wade Litigation have been extremely helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. They clearly set expectations and their communication was clear-cut. I hope to never require his services in this context again, but would recommend them to anyone that requires Legal assistance!

I contacted Wade Litigation for assistance with a small claims suit. I have worked with Brett and Dave McGraw, both have been dedicated, helpful, and have gone above and beyond to meet my expectations. Dave has provided effective legal advice and detailed explanations about the process as well as developed a plan for my hearing. Dave has gave me confidence in my abilities and quelled my anxiety. If I ever need representation or consultations again in the future, Wade Litigation will always be my first and only choice.

Back in September of 2018, I was served with a Federal lawsuit involving allegations of fraud, money laundering and RICO/racketeering. When I sat down to try and read the 155-page document, I was shocked, distressed and deeply saddened. Was this a bad dream? How could this be true and how could this be happening to me? When I inquired why this was being done, I was simply told that within 21 days, I had to find someone qualified to represent me. Fortunately, during my search, I came across some reviews of the Wade Litigation and decided to contact Amiel Wade. As I explained the numerous and misleading allegations, the Wade Litigation provided the proper guidance, and, thankfully, after 13 months of hard work and consistent support, Attorney Wade and his team were able to have the lawsuit dismissed. I don't know if I have the words to adequately express how sincerely grateful I was to have had the Wade Litigation represent me. I would offer my highest recommendation of the Wade Litigation to anyone who may need legal representation.

My husband and I hired Erin Stratte with Wade Litigation to help us during a very difficult and trying time with a custody case. She made us feel very comfortable and confident. She did not skip a beat when it came time to being in the court room. Wade Litigation welcomed us and made us feel like family with the support they provided.

Hired Wade Law for my civil lawsuit that had been going on for over a year and a half. It was one of those lawsuits that shouldn't have even existed, but some crazy person made stuff up and couldn't back any of it up, while I had all the evidence to prove my innocence. Wade Law - specifically Brandon Chaidez, my attorney, helped me tremendously and after about 3 months, got the case dismissed by the court, thus ending this horrible headache that I have been dealing with while in graduate school. I didn't even have to show up to court one time, Brandon took care of everything. If you need someone to help you with your civil matters, I couldn't recommend Wade Litigation enough! The professionalism, responsiveness, and consideration is bar none. There is a $5,000 retainer fee plus added fees based on the case and preparation of papers and all that. I personally ended up paying $7,100 in total. Just wanted to address the cost and be completely transparent. But in the end, it was totally worth it. Thank you Wade Law!

I had a fantastic experience working with Wade Litigation for my divorce. My attorney was easy to work with, professional, and empathetic. She explained everything in terms I could understand, made the whole process much less stressful. And she did a fantastic job in court, ensuring I got a fair settlement. I cannot stress enough what a tremendous job she did!

I contacted the Wade Litigation in early 2020 for help in resolving an intractable business partnership dispute that had been ongoing since early 2017. After literally years of being stonewalled and taken advantage of by my now ex partners, Wade very professionally began collecting information to prepare a case and worked diligently to resolve my issues before ultimately filing litigation on my behalf. This was done efficiently and cost effectively and quickly lead to a very fair and reasonable settlement being reached over my dispute. Going forward, I would not hesitate to recommend the Wade Litigation to anyone in a similar situation and truly believe that they did an excellent job representing and defending my interests in what had up until contacting them seemed to be a completely unresolvable situation. Highly recommended.

I hired Mr. Wade to expedite my divorce after being with an ill-prepared attorney for 1 1/2 years in which I didn't get past the discovery stage. I got quick results with Mr. Wade and my divorce was finalized after 4 months. His support staff quickly responded to all my emails and returned my calls. Mr. Wade is very experienced and knowledgeable and found an error in a filing by my ex-spouse's attorney and took immediate action on her behalf which saved me money and didn't prolong the divorce proceedings. He is involved in all the cases in his firm. Every Wednesday he conducts a meeting with his associate attorneys to consult and monitor their progress and provides them with his expert advice when necessary. Hopefully, I won't need Mr. Wade in the future but if I do, I would retain his services again because I was very pleased with his work and professionalism.

The consultation with Brett was a breath of fresh air. He was very patient and professional. Excellent active listener, very knowledgeable. My overall experience with Wade Litigation was very helpful. The prices are great as well. I'm not working at the moment so therefore I don't have the means to hire them. Otherwise I would most definitely make it happen.

I was in the unfortunate situation that I had to sue my ex... Asset distribution/Forcing sale of our House. As plaintiff I chose Amiel Wade. I live in Arizona, my ex is in San Jose and so is the house in question. I had to pay retainer fees which was a true burden. Also, not being local, the length of time it took to get a trial date... I lost patience and faith at times. Mr Wade assured me I have a solid case. I had doubts in the legal system and occasionally in Mr. Wade. But I came to realize, he was right. Due to Mr. Wade's skillful representation I won the case. I am thankful, justice was served and I could not have done this without Amiel Wade on my side.

I owe a great deal of thanks to Amiel Wade and his staff for the detailed work he has done in my very difficult divorce. He is a true go-getter...definitely what you want on your side when you walk into the courtroom. He is very knowledgeable and efficient, he has fantastic command of the courtroom, and his legal and professional guidance has been invaluable to me during this incredibly vulnerable period in my life. I honestly cannot thank him enough.

On a peaceful day on September 20, 2018, my doorbell rang and I was served with a 155 page, five-million-dollar Federal lawsuit involving allegations of fraud, money laundering and RICO/racketeering. I was shocked, stunned, deeply saddened, and didn't know what to do. My peaceful world was being turned upside down by this most unexpected event. All of a sudden, without any type of warning and within 21 days, I had to find someone qualified to represent me. Thankfully, as I tried to make sense of this catastrophe (and saying many prayers), I came across the Wade Litigation. I read the review of one his former clients, and decided to put my trust into contacting Amiel Wade and his team of legal assistants. As I explained the very strange and complicated situation of the lawsuit, I received support and assurances that they would do their best to assist me with legal representation. Fortunately, 13 months later, after many anguishing days of uncertainty and numerous hours, days, weeks and months of arduous work, Attorney Wade and his team were able to have the lawsuit dismissed! With deepest and sincerest gratitude, I would offer my highest recommendation of the Wade Litigation to anyone who may find themselves in such an unfortunate legal situation.

My legal issue was fraud in the distribution in my parent's trust/estate by the executor, my brother. Mr. Wade fully explained all the legalities, consequences and the procedures to rectify the situation. He possessed a thorough understanding of the law in this area. We endured two unsuccessful mediations, mainly because of the other side's unwillingness to compromise in a settlement, thinking they had done nothing wrong. When we did go to court, Mr. Wade produced such a thoroughly researched, evidential-based job of questioning my brother on the stand for 5 hours, that even my brother's attorneys knew they had a huge problem and asked to settle at the end of the day. We really felt and trusted Mr. Wade had our best interest in mind and was an ethical and principled litigator. We were pleased with the results.

if I ever have the misfortune of being sued again Amiel Wade is the attorney that I will call first. Amiel put together a great case base on Facts with all the evidence to back up his arguments and received a judgment in our favor. Amiel is personable and will explain the case to you in a way that you can understand leaving you comfortable that he will represent you and your case thoroughly and professionally.

In 2018 I had a bogus restraining order filed against me. I had never been in this type of situation before, but Wade Litigation set my mind at ease and was a tremendous help as they walked me through the litigation process. Wade Litigation did an excellent job standing at my defense and made sure the charges were dropped. When someone is making serious false claims against you on this scale, it can be stressful, intimidating, and damaging on a variety of levels. Having responsible and professional support such as Wade Litigation makes all the difference. Highly recommended.

A few months ago we hired Wade Litigation to help settle an internal dispute in our studio. On our search for legal assistance, no one was as professional, friendly, affordable, patient, and sympathetic to our situation as Wade Litigation. It's a relief to see a law group who is dedicated to helping the community and not just trying to make money. We're very thankful to have Wade Litigation at our side during this turbulent situation. Thank you!

I am a father of two boys and Amiel represented me at trial against a motion to move them from Idaho back to California. I found Amiel from a google search: 'Trial Attorney San Jose.' On our first phone call three things stuck out immediately with me: Amiel's quick assessment of the case, his knowledge of the opposing counsel, and his history with litigating before our judge. From start to finish everything Amiel predicted and prepared for came true. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I would highly recommend Wade Litigation. I had a civil case that was really tough. I interviewed several attorneys before selecting Wade Litigation. Amiel Wade took control of my case and won me everything I asked for. He kept me apprised the entire case and really outsmarted the other side. If you are looking for an aggressive attorney who knows his stuff, I recommend Amiel Wade.

I used Amiel Wade for a child support modification. He was very informative and walked me through every step of the process. He made a very difficult situation seem easy. I would highly recommend the Wade Litigation. The whole staff is very easy to work with. I will use them again for any of my legal needs.

I would highly recommend Wade Litigation. They treated me with nothing but respect as their client and their work ethic was excellent. Before hiring the firm, I thought I had an impossible case. The prior attorneys that I had spoken with did not seem to know how to help. However, when I spoke to Amiel Wade, he knew exactly how to help and he did exactly what he said he would do to win my case. On a scale of 1 to 10, their service was a 10.

I have been a client of Wade Litigation for 1.5 years now, and I can honestly say you will not find a better attorney in the Bay Area better than Amiel Wade. Not only does he know the law like the back of his hand, but he is kind-hearted, compassionate, and supportive throughout the entirety of your case. He does a spectacular job at explaining legal topics and working with you on how you want your case presented. My case was a relatively complex case, a civil matter in a rather sticky situation that involved fraud, and was also an emotional case. My case was supposed to be what was anticipated as a quick settlement, but ended up proceeding to a full 2 day trial, and into further post-hearings. I could not have imagined going into that trial without Amiel by side. When topics began to arise that were unforeseen, Amiel knew exactly how to strategize the cross-examination to keep our credibility strong. He is poised, passionate, and beyond intelligent. While we all know that lawyers can be very expensive, Amiel is worth every dime. And he will work with you regarding finances; he does have flexibility. The quality Amiel brings to the courtroom when you need to win your case is invaluable. He plays hardball, and knows what it takes to win cases. While I am hoping I do not have to have any other legal issues in the future, if anything were to occur, there is no one I would ever consider to represent me but Wade Litigation. I would highly recommend Wade Litigation to anyone in need of Civil Litigation.

I live in Henderson, Nv and was being sued for divorce in the state of California. I used the internet to find an attorney to represent me in the state of California. Amiel Wade was choosen because of the write-ups given on the web site. I interviewed with Mr. Wade on the phone and knew, because of the questions he asked, that he would do a good job on my behalf. Mr. Wade's knowledge of the law is excellent and gave me information that came as a pleasant and useful surprise. Mr. Wade has an executive legal assistant, Irene, who is very prompt with feed back and other useful advise. There were many complex family court forms to fill out and Irene made this task easier. Mr. Wade's skill in negoitation is probably the best that I have ever seen ( I was an executive at Xerox Corp for 26 years) and he led me in a direction that in the end saved me alot of money. He has the ability to intergrate complex issues into well thought out written word. In the end this proved to be what made my case move along swiftly and to a reasonable settlement. The Wade Litigation fee schedule is competitive and market rate which I considered fair. I would recommend "The Wade Litigation" to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I was in a aggressively contested legal battle and had used two prior attorneys. When I retained Wade Litigation, I had almost lost hope. However, soon after retaining Wade Litigation, my entire case changed. Amiel Wade and his firm was just awesome. Amiel fully explained his vision of the case and how I could still win. When we went into court, he took command of the entire courtroom. I won my case because of the strategy that he put together and the knowlege that he possessed about how win my case. If you are looking for a lawyer that will prepare vigorously to win your case, I recommend retainign the attorneys at Wade Litigation.

I highly recommend anyone involved in a civil suit to use attorney Amiel Wade. I was terrified because I was being sued. After Mr. Wade reviewed my case, he concluded that we should counter sue. Our case went all the way to a jury trial. Mr. Wade knows every aspect of civil law and can rapidly recite it verbatim when needed. Not only did the plaintiff lose on every count, but we were awarded a very large jury settlement including punitive damages Also, l found Mr. Wade's fees to be extremely competitive. If you are looking for the best civil lawyer in the greater bay area, look no further than Amiel Wade.

I am currently a Deputy Public Defender for Santa Clara County and I met Amiel when he became my summer intern. He worked for me and he did an excellent job. After he passed the California Bar, I needed an attorney to prepare my Will and related documents. I knew that I could count on Amiel doing a great job for me in this important life changing event. He has remained my attorney for the last 10 years and I am happy to recommend him for any civil matter.

Amiel Wade is the ultimate professional attorney with great admiration and respect from his colleagues and clients. He is a seasoned litigation specialist with proven trial results. He has a keen ability to navigate clients through complex litigation with poise and confidence. If you have a need for an experience litigation attorney, he is definitely a person you should contact.

I would absolutely recommend Amiel Wade for your legal needs. I was going through a very nasty divorce and had other representation that I felt failed me in court. I needed someone to be my advocate and take control of my case! Amiel stepped in front of the judge prepared to win! He articulated his arguments well and pointed out the cracks in my ex's case . Having him by my side, fighting for me and winning my trial was amazing. Family law is very stressful, but Amiel's knowledge, experience, and fortitude shined in court. I can't sing his praises enough! Finally I have an attorney fighting for me!

I used Mr. Wade for a very complicated business litigation case. He is an excellent litigator who possesses a superior command of the law. This was evident during our initial meeting when I explained to him the issues with my business partners. He recognized the numerous legal violations & was ready to fight for me. He was highly prepared & was a sharp advocate who fought my case every step of the way. From the multiple depositions, to mediation & finally to the successful negotiated settlement.

I was very impressed with Amiel Wade. I had a situation which required an attorney to spring into action immediately to provide help. I didn't think I was going to find a favorable solution to my problem, however, Mr Wade stepped in and seemed to know all the answers. He was sincere, honest, and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a great attorney.

I am an Arizona attorney that spent two very comprehensive seminar days with Amiel. Throughout he demonstrated excellence in those areas noted above, including knowledge in his specific field of business litigation. His communication and listening skills were remarkable for an attorney as young as he is. He will no doubt provide excellent client service

I was involved in a very difficult business litigation case. I needed a strong knowledgeable attorney who would aggressively represent me. I interviewed 3 local attorneys along with Mr. Wade. Mr. Wade immediately recognized the laws that were being breached and stated I had a strong case. To my amazement, he was the only attorney I interviewed that saw this. The other attorneys recommended I settle. It was a hard road which Mr. Wade handled with a sharp, calm fortitude. He pushed my case to the limits and I was extremely satisfied with the outcome. I am very grateful for Mr. Wade's excellent legal representation. I realize if I had not met with Mr. Wade I would have had a very different legal outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Wade for your legal needs. A side note worth mentioning is that his office staff were very responsive and professional.

My company hired Wade & Silverstein to represent us in a lawsuit that had been filed against us. We had used two previous attorneys before we found Wade & Silverstein. After we hired the firm, we could see the difference between Amiel Wade and the other lawyers that we had used in the past from other firms. Amiel was awesome! He took control of our case immediately and the entire lawsuit changed. We won the lawsuit as a result of Amiel's experience and knowledge! I would highly recommend Amiel and Wade & Silverstein to anyone in need of a great trial attorney.
