Adami s admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the State of Maine, and Washington, D.C., as well as the United States District Court for the Districts of Massachusetts & Maine, and the First Circuit Court of Appeals.  His notable cases include Mason v.

Attorney Rowe's typical cases range from representing individuals and corporations involved in sophisticated litigation, to representing parents or spouses embroiled in high net worth family law disputes.  In representing adults and children who have suffered wrongful death, neurological impairment, and other catestrophic personal injuries, he has achieved some of the largest settlements in the region.
 
Originally from the State of Maine, Attorney Rowe now resides in Boston's Back Bay.

Amazing Attorney - Top Notch
Adam came into my very contentious 6 year divorce about halfway through and has been incredible from the start. He is savvy, smart and on point. Adam's background in criminal law has helped significantly in dealing with my spouse and his attempts to game the system. Adam knows how to stay in front of issues and has a solid barometer for the legal system and how things may play out. He has the ability to inform clients of potential upsides / downsides to any actions. None of his projections have been inaccurate. Adam is honest and reliable. The firm of Crowe and Dunn including Bill Crowe is one of integrity and reasonableness which is sometimes hard to come by in the legal realm. While I am still embroiled in litigation with a litigious spouse (judgement now on appeal by him), I cannot imagine how much harder this journey would have been without Adam at the helm. I highly recommend him for any of your family or criminal legal needs.

My husband and I were in a horrific accident in Maine. He died. The truck driver was on drugs, 33 convictions against him and holding two drivers licenses. Three other cars were also totaled. Adam took the case for me. He was very attentive, knowledgeable of Maine laws, kept me informed, work diligently on the case to competition. He always was considerate and answered my questions when I phoned. He was always concerned for my wellbeing. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney and would highly recommend Adam.

A TRUE counselor - the kind of guide you want if in a tough spot.
Prevailed at trial and the Massachusetts SJC on my behalf, in the case now known as "Mason v. Coleman". I never doubted that I was in the best possible hands.

Professional and hardworking
Last year was the first time I ever had to hire a defense lawyer, and i'm very glad I choose Adam Rowe at Crowe & Dunn. While my situation was not the biggest or most difficult case they ever had, Adam really spent the time to get to know me and put my concerns at ease. I really felt that I was treated as their number one priority each time we spoke. While in court, Adam did a great job building my character profile and proving that the allegations against me were false and unmerited. I would recommend Adam to anyone who needs legal representation in a court setting.
