This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Can’t Recommend Les Alderman Enough!

I’ve been meaning to write this review for years because my overall experience with ADH Law was so impactful/meaningful to me- I was a client of Les Alderman’s for years, in which I sought his counsel for a high-profile, heavily media-covered lawsuit that I filed against a public figure. Having never... dreamed of ever filing a lawsuit in my lifetime - and having zero knowledge/wherewithal as to what to expect - Les was a godsend. He was with me every step of the way throughout a years-long legal battle turned media frenzy, always ready and available/accessible when I had questions, needed guidance, and honestly when I just needed overall support through what was an extremely traumatic and probably the most difficult experience of my life. Legally, we ultimately reached the ideal result/resolution that I wanted, and that was all due to Les and his exceptional legal expertise + know-how. Even today, I remain grateful for not only his expert legal counsel, but his humanity and good heart/moral compass. He gave me the courage to stand up against the discrimination/harassment I faced in the workplace and supported me every step of the way - and I’m a better, stronger person today because of it. I can’t recommend Les Alderman and ADH Law enough, especially if you’re seeking legal representation that’s not only effective/successful, but humane and compassionate at the same time. Les and ADH will fight for you and be your biggest advocates.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
