No results & incorrect advice

I hired Mr. Adams to defend me in a basic matter. His counsel through the duration was specific on one point that became the sticking point in getting the matter settled. On and on it went....costing me plenty of money. Eventually, the matter was settled and, when it was settled, Mr. Adams counsel... on that specific point was unambiguously contradicted by the Judge and Prosecutor and it's on the actual court record. In attempting to address this afterward with Mr. Adams, he could not even be bothered to return a call or address all the bills that ensued as a result of his erroneous advice. In checking with other criminal defense attorney's, none agreed with Mr. Adams advice and all agreed he was wrong. I'd add as well that Mr. Adams is VERY hard to reach and not terribly responsive.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
