Rebecca Wade (Partner, Wade, Grimes, Friedman, Sutter & Leischner, PLLC)

A distinguished, bilingual trial lawyer, Rebecca Wade represents zealous advocacy. She began her career after law school as a public defender, helping her clients in cases ranging from misdemeanors to aggravated felonies, including appellate work. Since moving to private practice, she has continued the good fight and has expanded to family law matters, including pro bono representation of children who are petitioning for special juvenile immigrant status.

Rebecca’s introductory course, Criminal Practice in the Virginia General District Court, provides criminal practitioners a full view of the practice as well as winning strategies for protecting clients. Lawline members have told us they watch this program due to Rebecca’s ability to provide “practical advice” that “fill the gaps” between professional reading and practice.
