About Adam
Biography
At 12 years of age I was in a bad car accident. I broke my leg, suffered nerve damage, herniated discs in my lower back and received multiple sutures. My family had an excellent attorney who was professional, thoughtful, knew the law and fought for his clients. The experience made me become a lawyer and I've tried to give my clients the same consideration, regardless of the size of their case. I have found when speaking to jurors at trial, I can relay a message about the level of my client's pain better than most because I've experienced and that talent has led to excellent results for my clients.
