Biography
Suren G. Adams is an attorney with a passion for organization and excellence. She founded Adams Law Office, LLC over 20 years ago to help her clients get their financial houses in order and find peace of mind. She is an experienced member of the Maryland Bar Association, the District of Columbia Bar Association, Christian Legal Society, the Alliance of Black Women Attorneys, and the Prince George’s County Bar Association.
Suren obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government and Politics from the University of Maryland in 1994 and then completed course work for a Master of Arts degree in English with a specialty in Rhetoric. Suren then obtained her Juris Doctorate degree from George Washington University Law School, where she received honors for Legal Research & Writing and was a member of the Corporate Law Society and the Christian Legal Society.
Suren was born in Guyana, South America and moved to Durham, North Carolina with her family as a young child. A few years later, the family relocated to Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Suren’s goal is to provide each client with excellent legal services from their first contact with the firm to the conclusion of their case and beyond. She and her staff enjoy going above and beyond what is generally expected from lawyers and law firms today.
