recommendation
After being falsely accused of financial malfeasance and facing criminal charges, I availed myself of Adam’s services. Adam resolved the matter while avoiding trial, including dismissal of charges and expungement of the record. I found him to be professional, courteous, sympathetic, competent, and knowledgeable. He offered accurate assessments of the process as it moved along and was available for phone, email, and in-person communication. I would unreservedly recommend Adam’s services to others.

Additional case
He did a great job sticking with the case till the end. Very grateful for his ability to get a positive result for a situation that could have resulted in jail time.

Client
The professionalism and intelligence of Attorney Bishop is unmatched. From our first meeting through the successful resolution of my case, his knowledge of the law and trial skills were unbelievable. If you want top-notch legal representation, you want Bishop Law.

Excellent job
Adam was knowledgeable, professional and prepared. And just as important, he seemed like a nice person. He represented my daughter in a juvenile case and I felt he worked on her behalf. The charges were reduced and I was happy with the outcome. I've never had to hire an attorney so I took a leap of faith when choosing him, based on reviews and recognition he has received. During the process, even the probation person commented that if she needed a lawyer for her child, he is who she would hire. That should tell you a lot. As a working parent it was expensive, but worth it to me.

A Second Chance
Mr. Bishop was very knowledgeable and very understanding. I was facing 2-4 years as a standard for felony. Did I mention I had 4 cases each 2-4 years. He did a phenomenal job and got the judge to understand and focus on my character and not just the crime I committed. I've never been in trouble in my life and clearly made a mistake and I believe he could see that I was a genuine person. I can go on, but I will just say he fought for me to get a second chance. I was given 4 years probation. I highly recommend Mr. Bishop, he is honest, and really does what he can for his clients. Because of his commitment and hard work I am able to move on with my life with my family, and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Knowledgeable
Mr. Bishop is professional and knowledgeable. He completely understood my situation and helped me navigate the very tricky system. I don’t know how I would have done without him by my side.
Posted by Charlet | August 4, 2015
Very knowledgeable and available
Adam was the public defender assigned to my husband's criminal case. He was very thorough and available to answer any questions my husband and I had. He went to discuss the case with my husband several times at the county jail, unlike ALOT of public defenders and was on time and ready at his hearing. My husband and I were very appreciative to have such great counsel and didn't feel like he was just rushing us through the process. He made us feel like real people, not just another case.
