5/5 lawyer

I never had to use a lawyer before, but an odd situation came up where I was being told I was a victim when I was not. I was told I had no rights in the matter. It was a clear violation of my constitutional rights. I had no voice. Adam gave me a voice. He was responsive, affordable, and knew just wha...t to do. In the end he was instrumental in bringing the case and the entire situation to a close. I highly recommend Adam.

You won’t find a better lawyer

I live out of state, I wanted to hire a attorney to defend my 32 year old son. He had never been in serious trouble before. He was insistent that he use a public defender. After his first court appearance he agreed that he needed a experienced attorney to represent him. After speaking to several othe...r attorneys that work in Bergen County. I realized Adam was the only one who was interested in finding out exactly what charges my son was facing. The other attorneys just wanted to discuss charging my credit card. At no point did Adam make the situation about money. Instead jumped on the case and got all the necessary discovery. He was amazing. My son moved to Hawaii during this process and Adam worked with the DA and Judge so he did not have to fly back to testify. Charges were dropped. I doubt any other Attorney would have such a wonderful outcome. After realizing what all the other attorneys wanted for the two charges. I gave Adam a bonus and feel like he deserves even more. You won’t find anyone who knows there way around the courtroom, and is respected by his peers!!

Best lawyer in the world!

Adam was assigned to me as a pool attorney during my 21 months of incarceration in Bergen County Jail. I did not pay Adam a dime, yet he fought for me in trial as if I payed him with a bonus. During trial he immediately put the prosecution on the defense by picking apart their allegations and strateg...ically exposing the nefarious/corrupt actions of the Elmwood Park Narcotics Unit. His belief in my innocence, hunger to win and voracious competitiveness got me acquitted on all charges. Adam was not only my attorney, he became and still is my friend. Thanks buddy!

He takes care of it all the way.

After a stressful day I went online looking for help. I got arrested for the first time for shoplifting in NJ. I was desperate and lost, and Adam saw my message and called me right away. He made me feel so much better after the consultation by phone so I hired him, even after few others lawyers conta...cted me. I went to his office with my mother and we felt great there. He simply got it all and was passionate, good listener, and well educated about his job and just life overall. He took care of me the next months and answered all my questions and guided me through all the process. I basically was able to text him day and night with my concerns, he replied or called me as soon as he could. So respectful! The way he handeled my case and showed up at the court house(twice) was amazing. Even the officer there told me- "you are in good hands". He knows what he's doing and is confident- that's what you need when it comes to hiring a lawyer. He has a great experience and you can see and feel that. My case got solved and I walked out free that evening with a little offense (not a theft or anything bad) that will NOT affect my immigration status and was a good/best option for me. Mr. Lustberg gave me his opinion, advise and more before admitting that offense. He told me to see a immigration lawyer to be 100% sure of what to do personally, because I'm not a citizen but I have the green card. He joined me at that meeting without any additional cost. He's straight forward and caring. Not rushing throughout the process, more getting it done right and the BEST way for you!! Couldn't be happier with my investment this fall. And for sure he's going to be my lawyer always if I need one.
