Excellent Attorney!!

Adam Willman is a class act! From the moment he took on my matter he assured me he would fight vigorously for me and that he did! Beyond satisfied with the results. Although, I hope I never need attorney services again, if I do, he is on my speed dial.

Lie about everything

Shared information with DA that he shouldn't have and the information was incorrect. Then blew off the DA in court when he was trying to lower my crime to a ticket. I begged him to ask the DA to drop the charge to a ticket and he told the DA I would be fine taking a misdemeanor. He didn't even try! ...In fact he argued against the DA lowering my charge. Let me explain after I talked to the DA and the DA said he would talk to my lawyer about dropping my charge to a ticket the DA approached Adam, which Adam blew him off then took me into a room and told me "don't even try that I already told him you would be ok with a misdemeanor" I just lost my entire life because Adam could spent five minutes talking to the DA. And just beware Adam will be an hour late to every court appearance. I have to keep adding to this because I keep find out new things. So during my case there was missing evidence, which I asked Adam to ask for which he told me he did. This was a lie he never requested the evidence and it took me three days to get it. Then he tells me that I my best option was to file an appeal, which wouldn't even apply to me because even though there was missing evidence and perjury on the side of the police you can't file an appeal in New York unless there was judicial errors. Meaning you can not submit new evidence. Adam lied to me throughout the whole process. I would have been better off representing myself at least I could have talked DA and requested evidence, but because I hired Adam I wasn't allowed to and he didn't do one thing I asked him to do just lied to me and said he did. I have to keep re posting this because apparently you can get bad reviews removed for no reason. There were three other bad reviews that said the same thing I am saying but somehow google doesn't believe people are allowed to share their experiences.

  • 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.
