Amazing experience!

I cannot say enough good things about Jesse Adams. He helped my son during a very stressful time while he was a sophomore in college and facing his first incident of trouble. Jesse handled the situation with fairness, compassion, and absolute professionalism. He guided us through every step, made sur...e my son’s future was protected, and delivered exactly the outcome we were hoping for. His communication was always prompt, clear, and reassuring. We could not be more grateful for his work and dedication. I highly recommend Jesse to anyone who needs someone who truly cares and will fight for the best possible result.

Can't recommend highly enough

I only had 7 days to get a lawyer to represent me at a Restraining Order Hearing. Jesse came highly recommended and he made himself available 24/7 to assimilate all the facts and fashion a cross examination that became crucial to helping me avoid a trial. If you need legal help I highly recommend co...ntacting Jesse.

Best Decision

I was in an extremely difficult situation with an OUI offense. Jesse’s thorough knowledge of the law and his dedication to his clients were directly reflected through the respect he received from the court and his colleagues. He was fair, honest, and direct in handling my case. The follow up after th...e ruling went above and beyond what was expected. Should you ever need representation, I recommend Jesse Adams without question.

Took care of case efficiently and expertly

Attorney Adams managed to get my case dismissed out of court within a day of hiring him. Our family can't thank him enough for taking this burden off of our shoulders.
