Adam is great -- hire him if you want someone who sees every angle

I hired Adam after speaking with several other employment attorneys. I liked his aggressive style, though after talking I decided on a more subtle approach, which he helped craft. He was able to connect dots very quickly and poke holes in all the legal documents drafted by other attorneys. I wouldn't... hesitate to use him again and plan on using him for real estate and contract stuff also.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
