Megan Wade

Connecticut Appellate Law Firm is a law firm based in northeastern Connecticut that provides appellate and trial support services throughout the entire state of Connecticut.

Founder and appellate attorney Megan Wade brings to Connecticut Appellate Law Firm nearly a decade of appellate experience. She is committed to precise and professional advocacy and believes that every appeal deserves a tailored, creative approach. Leading with empathy, Attorney Wade prioritizes clear and consistent communication with both trial counsel and clients.

Since her law school days, Attorney Wade has focused exclusively on appeals. During law school, she completed several legal externships and participated in an appellate clinic, during which she successfully briefed and argued an appeal before the Connecticut Appellate Court. 

“I first discovered my passion for appellate law during law school. What drew me to it was the opportunity to engage with a variety of legal issues. Each appeal allows me to delve deeply into a unique legal question and become an expert in that subject matter. I now spend my workdays doing what I love: conducting thorough legal research on complex and novel issues, strategically analyzing records to identify potential appealable issues, and crafting and refining persuasive legal briefs.”

After graduating from law school, Attorney Wade spent a year as a clerk to Former Chief Justice Richard Robinson (ret.) of the Connecticut Supreme Court. Following her clerkship, Attorney Wade worked as an associate attorney at an appellate firm in Hartford, Connecticut for more than 7 years. During that time, she argued more than 15 appeals before the Connecticut Supreme and Appellate Courts, securing favorable outcomes in both courts.  

As an appellate attorney, Megan Wade provides client-centered advocacy in Connecticut civil appeals, family and divorce appeals, and personal injury appeals.

Attorney Megan Wade also works with trial attorneys across the state on issue preservation to set up clients for postjudgment success, consults about whether clients can and should file an appeal, provides trial-level support (through drafting and legal research services) to busy trial attorneys, and litigates appeals in the Connecticut Supreme and Appellate Courts.
