Great help!
I've consulted with Adam on a couple different matters and for each, he was prompt in responding and gave a very helpful assessment and recommendation. I would not hesitate recommending Adam's representation to anyone!

Criminal defense case
Mr. Schmaelzle was both patient and professional. He explained the possible scenarios of outcome with great detail, and was able to negotiate the best outcome. It is apparent he is well versed in his area of practice. I would use him again, without hesitation.

Great experience
When I learned I needed an attorney I wasn't sure where to turn. A friend of mine who has used Adam in the past recommended him and I wasn't disappointed. My legal matter went WAY better than I anticipated and I was extremely happy with the end result. I would highly recommend this lawyer.

Couldn't have asked for a better attorney
Attorney Schmaelzle represented me during my unemployment appeal. He was wonderful, and I don't believe I would have won the appeal if it weren't for his help. He helped put my mind at ease throughout the process. I would hands down recommend him.

Great Attorney
I was charged with three counts in Westborough court . Attorney Schmaelzle was able to get all three counts dismissed . I'm very pleased with his representation and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.
