In 2024, Attorney Megan Wade founded Connecticut Appellate Law Firm (CTALF), a full-service appellate law firm that is dedicated to providing personalized appellate advocacy. Attorney 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.

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.

Attorney Wade's notable reversals during various employment over the last 7 years include:

• State v. Joseph V., 345 Conn. 516 (2022) (reversing conviction of sexual assault in first degree where duplicitous information charged defendant in single count of having violating single statutory provision through multiple distinct acts, in violation of constitutional right to unanimous jury verdict)
• State v. Jodi D., 340 Conn. 463 (2021) (reversing conviction of second degree assault of physically disabled person, where statute was ruled unconstitutionally overinclusive)
• State v. Gordon, 206 Conn. App. 70 (2021) (reversing conviction of larceny by embezzlement in second degree where trial court’s admission into evidence without limitation implied testimonial hearsay violated defendant’s constitutional right to confrontation)
• State v. Fox, 192 Conn. App. 221 (2019) (vacating defendant’s conviction of conspiracy to commit assault in the first degree, where convictions and sentences for two counts of conspiracy based on single unlawful agreement violated defendant’s constitutional right against double jeopardy)
