Never Use This Attorney
I mistakenly hired this Attorney for my divorce case. My Father passed away and I need money for Funeral. I called and emailed Adam. It took him a week to just a respond. Then he started telling me. I need judge to have Adam withdraw from case. I went to court to have Adam withdraw from the case. ...

Replied last May 19, 2022It is unfortunate that this person elected to post this review, however it is inaccurate and an attempt to cause me to circumvent the Court rules. The person retained me to represent her in her divorce signing a written fee agreement and provided me a retainer. I immediately got to work and approximately one week later while I was preparing to leave for vacation and she demanded her retainer back as she needed the money. I immediately responded telling her that in order for me to return the remaining retainer the Court would have to allow my withdrawal from the case, which I would not be able to submit a motion until I had returned from vacation. Notwithstanding my communication she repeatedly texted me on my personal telephone as well as emailed me while away on vacation. Notwithstanding, I immediately responded and assured her that as soon I returned from vacation I would petition the Court to release me from the case. She then threatened to report me to the BBO and to go down to the Court to get me released. I told her that if she could get the Court to release me during my vacation I would immediately return her remaining retainer upon my return from vacation. On account of her threat I contacted the Board of Bar Overseers to confirm that I was fulfilling my professional responsibilities. Upon my return from vacation I immediately prepared a Motion to Withdraw and await the Court’s actions in order to oblige. I have repeatedly contacted the court for purposes of trying to expedite my withdrawal so that I can oblige. My client relationships are extremely important to me and work tirelessly to get my job done

Unprofessional and very disrespectful
I hired Adam avratin after he was recommended by a couple people. First time I called answered right away and met within 24 hours. We met at his office where he seemed very positive on how he was going to move quickly on my divorce. He then took a $6,000.00 retainer and then said oh and this consult...

Didn't meet expectations. Only cares about money. Drew out my divorce way too long, and didn't even get me what I wanted!
I hired Adam two years ago for help with my divorce trial. I had heard really good things about him, but I was very disappointed when he told me that the agreement I had arrived upon with my husband through our mediator was ridiculous, and insisted that we go back to court. I was hoping to simply r...
