Adam was nothing short of a Divine Intervention in my Divorce Case

I was one year into my divorce case, my Ex wife had all sorts of false order of protection against me crippling my ability to even see my kids, I hadn’t seen my first son for 6 months and never met my new born until he was 3 months old. My old attorney did nothing, they were money down the drain unti...l Adam came along, in ONLY 2 WEEKS, ADAM knew my case like the back of his hand and ready for trial where he dismantled the opposition and laid all their claims to ABSOLUTE WASTE. Adam got rid of all my Ex wife’s Phony Order of protection by proving to the judge beyond a reasonable doubt that all her claims were false. In another few months ADAM got the judge to give me interim Custody of my kids while OUR DIVORCE WENT ON for another year instead of my ex wife. This man was phenomenal, he brought my case from the grave yard literally to LIFE. IF YOU HAVE A MATRIMONIAL CASE AND SEEK THE BEST ATTORNEY NEW YORK HAS TO OFFER, look no further and congratulations because you just found him.

Jessica

I hired Adam for my divorce three years ago. He gave me excellent advice and was a true confidant during that time. Fast forward three years later and he has not left my side. Continues to advice, council and guide during the most stressful time of one's life. He has worked towards my future and made... sure that myself and my children's needs were met with class, grace and elegance. I can not recommend him more highly. He will fight for you, and let you know when to back down. He has taken my calls on weekends, evenings and early mornings. He is dedicated to his clients and you can rest assured Adam will do anything he can for his clients. On top of it all he happens to be a great guy, wonderful family man and a nice person. You will make the right choice should you need to higher a lawyer by hiring Adam.

Hire with Confidence - a True Professional

I don't often write reviews but my experience with Adam through a highly contested, emotional rollercoaster of a divorce proceeding compelled me to do so. Adam's calm demeanor, steady approach to litigation and solid advice throughout the proceedings allowed me to navigate the mine field of my divorc...e with confidence. His pragmatic approach was much appreciated as he always communicated potential outcomes which we discussed to decide the best way forward. He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me what I NEEDED to hear. Adam excels in his deep knowledge of matrimonial proceedings, custody issues and is especially adept at finances. I highly recommend securing Adam's services so that you can have the piece of mind of having a true professional on your side through one of the most stressful situations in life. I wouldn't have successfully made it through my situation without his help and advice.

A Cut Above!

Adam is an expert in his field! At a time where decisions needed to be made, he offered sound professional advice which yielded long term benefits for my family and I. In addition to being knowledgeable of the law, Adam was willing to listen and communicate in a clear and concise manner which spoke t...o his high level of commitment to his work. Thank you, Adam.

Excellent attorney

An attorney friend highly recommended Adam for an urgent family custody issue. Upon my first consultation, I walked away, feeling informed of my rights and confident in Adam's ability to understand my situation, weed through my emotional distress, and provide a clear plan on how to move forward. He... was practical and compassionate. He is quick to respond, which is crucial when faced with a contentious opposing party. He successfully navigated through a very stressful situation. Even during the pandemic, he kept the case moving forward.
