The nation's premier full-service law firm

Trusted, experienced, dedicated attorneys on whom you can rely

The firm is temporarily closed. With the sudden passing of Mr. Wade, and with our other partner, Mr. Zaire, away on sabbatical, we will not be taking on any new clients until further notice. If you require assistance with the enforcement of a court order or any out-of-court settlement, kindly contact the paralegal assigned to your case, or upload any additional documents through the link to our secure server on this website that you previously were provided. General questions may be sent to info@zairewade.com.

As seasoned criminal defense attorneys, Antoine Zaire and Marcus Wade understand, perhaps better than any other attorneys, how frightening it can be to be placed under arrest. The potential ramifications of a guilty verdict at your trial could have life-long effects. Those ramifications include incarceration, loss of employment, suspension of your driver's license, court-ordered supervision, probation, and forfeiture of personal property.

At the Law Office of Zaire & Wade, we possess the experience, knowledge, compassion, and legal savvy to ensure you receive the very best defense. We are aggressive, resourceful attorneys who will fight relentlessly to protect your rights and to achieve either a dismissal of the charges levied against you -- or a not guilty verdict at the conclusion of your case.

If you have been charged with a crime anywhere in the tri-state area, we encourage you to call the Law Office of Zaire & Wade to discuss how we can defend your right to a fair trial. Our staff brings a tenacity and level of commitment to each case that is unmatched by any criminal defense practice in the region. As former prosecutors, our attorneys offer a unique perspective, successfully defending more than 300 clients over the last three decades. We derive an enormous sense of satisfaction from the firm's hard-earned reputation as skilled and thoughtful litigators in the arena of criminal defense.

We can competently assist clients who have been charged with any number of a wide array of criminal allegations. Whether it is a simple charge of driving with a suspended license to something much more dire such as drug, burglary, or assault charges, Mr. Zaire and Mr. Wade welcome the chance to meet with you to discuss how we can assist in your time of need.

Zaire & Wade is a results-drive firm. We have been winning favorable verdicts at trial since 1983, and we continue to work as tirelessly as ever on behalf of our clients. Our record of achievement speaks for itself. At the onset of every case, we will seek to reduce dramatically the charges levied against you, or have the charges dropped altogether.

These options are possible only by a combination of skillful advocacy. If trial is unavoidable, you can be assured we will prepare in zealous fashion to convince the presiding judge and jury of your innocence. We have extensive trial experience in the city and provincial courts throughout the state, spanning thousands of hours and hundreds of cases, from simple misdemeanors to complex felonies.

When you are represented by the Law Office of Zaire & Wade, you will have access to your lawyer, either Mr. Zaire or Mr. Wade 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We do not outsource cases and you will not be passed off to receptionists, paralegals, or junior associates. The partner handling your defense will be in close contact with you all throughout the process. You will have his e-mail address, office telephone number, and his cell phone number, and are welcome to contact him whenever the need arises.

We will offer straightforward, candid counsel. Our lawyers will not sugarcoat the charges you are facing. Mr. Zaire and Mr. Wade will craft a practical legal strategy that has proven to work with similar cases in the past. Clear answers and prompt, competent guidance are the hallmarks of our practice.

Any criminal charges are daunting and the justice system at times can seem confusing and complex. Regardless of the severity of the charges you are facing, it would be senseless to face them without the assistance of qualified and capable counsel. If you have been arrested, or believe that an arrest is imminent, please call Zaire & Wade today.
