Experienced litigator working hard to protect your interests and obtain results you deserve.

 

Thank you for visiting my Avvo page.  Let me tell you a little about myself.  I'm a small-town kid from DuBois, PA, whose parents instilled in him the values of hard work and honesty.  The oldest of four children, I saw how my mom and dad worked hard to provide for us.  I learned from their example, and graduated from Duquesne University a semester early with two degrees, and earned a full scholarship to Dickinson Law School.  Since passing the bar in 2006, I've brought that same work ethic to my practice to obtain the most successful (and economic) results possible for my clients.  I've learned from many quality lawyers during my time in practice, both how to and how not to handle a variety of matters.  I have extensive experience in the courts of Central PA, and know how to get results both in and out of the courtroom.  So what do I think sets me apart from other attorneys?  I think my ability to empathize and identify with a client gives me an advantage.  When you come to me with your legal problem, you're not just a number or a case name.  You're someone who has trusted me with helping you resolve a situation that is often very stressful and consuming.  That trust is paramount, and frankly, humbling.  Your importance as a client isn't based upon the value of your case or how much time I'll need to invest to reach its conclusion.  You're important to me because you've placed a very significant part of your life in my hands, and are asking me to help guide you through it.  And I enjoy doing so, and get a great fulfillment from it.  So if you think I can be of service, get in touch.  If I can't help you, odds are I know an attorney who can.

So practicing law's what I do, but who I am?  I'm a father to three amazing children that keep my wife and I on our toes at all times.  I enjoy playing outside with them and helping them with homework (though Common Core can be infuriating at times).  I'm an avid reader currently working on a sendup of, and a tribute to, the unreliable female narrator genre (think The Final Gone Girl in the Window on a Train).  I enjoy scouring flea markets for vinyl records and watching z-grade horror movies.  And I look forward to hearing from you.

Quick help with a will
My husband and I hired Corey to write our will, Power of Attorney and living will. Corey was easy to work with, and helped us focus on what we needed to do, and some things we weren't aware of. When you have young children, it can be especially stressful thinking about wills but he led us through the process quickly and smoothly. It is a relief to know we have everything lined up and clear for our children and families.

Nicole and Jordan Gift
My husband and I came to Corey with several questions regarding civil tenant/landlord suits and overall next steps for order of possession. Corey was extremely informative throughout the entire process, and checked in with use each step of the way to ensure overall success. We would not have been able to move forward without his expertise, and would recommend him to anyone with similar issues.

Thorough Job Reviewing Employment Contract
I hired Mr. Adamson based on his reputation to review an employment contract when I was hired for my first real job as a dentist with a public health center. I had very little knowledge of the legal jargon and did not want to be duped into any conditions I was not comfortable with. Corey translated the contract for me in a way I could understand it and explained to me certain aspects that were potential concerns. I would recommend Corey to others and plan to use him again in having a will drafted for my wife and I in the next couple months.

PFA litigation
The office has poor means of communication, and his ability to be respondent to opposing council is not even sub-par, showed up unprepared, trying to obtain facts 15 minutes prior to trial, deferred any meeting with which were cancelled, when attempting to litigate , projected images onto live feed of his personal family and some sort of bizarre masquerade costume, this had truly put myself and case in question and he was not taken seriously from that point, I have every item mentioned documented and able to prove from his email
