Great Attorney - Excellent Service

Adam handled a case for me with excellent results. He was very professional, knowledgeable and always followed up quickly. He always returned my calls promptly and was very detail oriented all throughout the case. Would recommend contacting him if you have a legal problem.

A great attorney to have by your side in difficult times.

First of all, I want to emphasize that I was not asked in any form or fashion for this review. This comes from deep appreciation for the work that Adam has done for me. From day one Adam demonstrated a true caring involvement in my case. He was always available and reachable during multiple emergenc...y situations that came up, and I never felt like I was just another client. His professionalism is worth every penny and on many occasions it was proven to me that he really has his client’s best interests in mind, and not just there to make a quick buck. There were times when the outcome of certain legal actions would have been doubtful, and even though he could have easily made a few extra thousand dollars, he convinced me not to pursue it. Now that the main litigation has ended, and the dust settled, I consider myself lucky for meeting Adam when my custody battle started. It seems that Adam approaches the situation in good faith, assuming both sides want what is best for the kids, but when that is proven not to be the case he is perfectly capable of dialing it up a few notches. This was a hell of a year for me and the kids - a lot of crazy things thrown at us by the ex, and having Adam’s level-headed expertise made it much less painful than it could have been. I will definitely be retaining his services in the future.
