You'd be hard pressed to find a more thorough attorney to handle your DWI. Adam's approach is a global one; he considers the entirety of the client's situation, including issues such as citizenship, professional licensing, and potential impacts on a client's other cases. Adam does not look for the easiest or fastest resolution - he looks for the resolution that will best serve his clients in these very serious cases.
