If any of the terms are not met during the compliance period, Respondent agrees that the Disciplinary Board shall impose a suspension of one year and one day.

Adam nearly destroyed me. I won't get into all of the details here since I don't want to relive it. He represented me in a divorce case. It dragged it out for years. He would ghost me for many months at a time - no email or phone responses. I provided him with a mountain of evidence and he never... used any of it. He did not allow me to defend myself in court against false accusations. I lost almost everything I had because of him and went into a deep depression. I felt like he was on her side and did everything he could to help her, not me. Just did a web search and found he was reprimanded by the VA Bar for doing the same to a client who has now lost custody of her child. It's not easy to be deep into a case and then spend tons of money to get another attorney to take your case. So be forewarned: don't use him at all.

Initial consultation was free and he suggested a strategy for my divorce case, as soon as I hired him, he would not return my calls/emails. If you are a woman of color, please do not hire him. He bullied me during my most vulnerable phase of life, over charged me and then Nancy Duff refunded some of ...my money. He was in my corner during during and also did not help get the community property due from my ex- after the judge granted it. During the trial of my divorce, he went out for dinner with my ex and his lawyers. The next day at the trial, he came disorganized and kept his nose stuck into paper work while the ex's lawyer was questioning me on irrelevant issues. He is disorganized and does not go through all his emails. If I were the woman that I am now, I would never hire him to represent me during my divorce.

I hired Mr. Kronfeld after another attorney had a conflict of interest. With little information and only a few days, Mr. Kromfeld stepped in and was successful with that portion of my case. He was very careful in how he crafted the retainer agreement. I now know how important the retainer agreeme...nt is. I should have identified all that I needed and not bank on unwritten verbal promises. Written promises fulfilled. Verbal promises unfulfilled.
