Connecticut Appellate Law Firm (CTALF) is a full-service appellate law firm that is dedicated to providing personalized appellate advocacy.
Founder and appellate attorney Megan Wade brings to CTALF nearly a decade of appellate experience. She is committed to precise and professional advocacy and believes that every appeal deserves a tailored, creative approach.
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 reversals as appellant in both courts.
As the founder of CTALF, Attorney Wade aims to apply her appellate experience to continue to provide client-centered appellate advocacy in Connecticut.
