Having lived 60 years, and having been a litigation lawyer for more than 30 of them, I have a fair amount of experience evaluating people (and lawyers in particular). Amiel L. Wade is both a gentleman and a very fine lawyer. He is direct, honest, and effective. He gets to the nub of the matter quickly and stays focused on his best arguments. That is why his client won a recent case I tried against him. While I didn’t like being defeated, I did learn to respect Mr. Wade as a person and a lawyer.
