Mr. Adam Harris was a true gift from God. He was patient, Stern, kind and very concerned about my needs and freedom. I was in a situation where I was on Parole and made a few bad choices and was convicted guilty in another state with another charge, but in the mist of my situation I thought I was d...

When my father was charged with multiple driving related counts, we hired Adam to represent him. He was patient and understanding with my father and always available for consultation. In the end, he made a great deal with the prosecutor. We could not have been happier with the outcome.
"I had the privilege to first see Adam defending felony cases when I still a law student. Over the years, every attorney I know has agreed with what I saw with my own eyes, that Mr. Harris is highly skilled, cares deeply about his clients, and works tirelessly to get the best possible result."
"I have known Adam for over 15 years. I have seen him try countless cases. No lawyer is more zealous. Adam always provides a passionate, well-prepared and hard-fought defense for his clients. If I needed a criminal defense attorney, Adam would be my first phone call."
"Adam is a highly experienced, knowledgeable, and effective lawyer. He really cares about his clients and knows how to fight for them in every case."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Adam Harris for over 10 years. I practice in the same courts with him. We have shared codefendants. He is an exceptional criminal defense lawyer. He has excellent credentials, over 18 years of experience in the Maryland criminal courts, he knows the prosecutors and the judges, he knows the law and he is well prepared for every case. I once saw him conduct three jury trials in one week. For each case he had a story and a theme and his clients always do well with him. I highly recommend him."
"Adam is one of the best. He has done every kind of case and has the experience and skill to provide the best representation a client could hope for. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer.because I have observed his excellent work on behalf of clients and his professional demeanor in the courtroom."
"I have been across the aisle from Adam on many cases. He is a diligent and formidable adversary. He always goes the extra mile for his clients. Juries love him. I highly recommend him in criminal defense matters."
"Adam Harris is a strong advocate for his clients and is a very good trial lawyer. He has a tremendous amount of experience, and his honesty and integrity really shine through. I highly recommend him for all criminal defense matters."
"Adam Harris is an excellent attorney who I highly recommend. I tried many cases against Adam when I was a Senior Assistant State's Attorney and he was a high-level Public Defender in Montgomery County, including a major First Degree Murder trial in front of a jury. With that as a background, I can unequivocally say that Adam Harris is a smart, hard-working, compassionate attorney. Anyone facing serious criminal charges would be well served to hire Mr. Harris to defend them."
"I have known Adam Harris for many years. He is not only compassionate, but is smart and an experienced trial lawyer. He's tried cases before juries and judges. Most lawyers don't like to try cases in front of juries. He does. He knows how to win and knows many areas of criminal law because of the sheer number of clients he's represented in his career. He's also a very nice guy."
"I endorse this lawyer. Great Lawyer. Adam Harris is an extremely talented attorney. His trial skills are truly outstanding. He wins excellent results in front of judges and juries alike. If Mr. Harris has accepted your case, you are in great hands. I worked with Mr. Harris for over a decade while he was quickly moving up the ranks at the Office of the Public Defender, and admired his dedication, zealousness, and talent."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Harris and I were Assistant Public Defenders at the same time in Montgomery County, Maryland. He was highly successful in very serious cases. His former clients respected him greatly because of his hard work and impressive litigation skills."
"I have known Mr. Harris for many years. He is zealous, intelligent, and well respected in the legal community. I very strongly endorse this lawyer."
