An amazing lawyer and an even more amazing person!
Adam was one of the most helpful, empathetic , efficient, charming, diligent, humble, and caring people I have ever met. He was always reassuring, and he gave 200% of his effort with my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer.

Mr. Adam Krischer is a great, professional and empathetic attorney
Mr.Krischer successfully dismissed my sick brother from being convicted for a felony. He was reliable, responsible and empathetic. He said he will dismiss my brother and he successfully did without taking any charge from us. He is professional and responds in a timely manner. He made all the family happy and less anxious about what happened to our brother and my brother is now back to us with better health and spirit.

Compassionate and Professional
As a mother, whose son had never been in trouble with the law, I felt totally overwhelmed with hearing the news my son had been arrested, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic! I had many questions. Mr. Krischer provided me with answers to ALL of my questions in a kind, compassionate, and professional manner. As a matter of fact, after talking with Mr. Krischer, I felt an immediate sense of calm. I knew my son was in the right hands to get him, and our family, through this crisis. And he did!

Great Attorney
I’ve never done a review about anyone on the internet but Mr. Krischer was just a great attorny who really cares about his clients and definitely doesn’t take advantage of the situation and overcharge them. He brought hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible and extremely expensive . Not only was he able to defend us from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service. (I highly recommend him)

Great Job!
I was very pleased with my attorney Adam Krischer. He returned all phone calls and emails in a very timely fashion. And he got my 4 point speeding ticket to be reduced to a non-moving violation with no points. Would hire him again in an instant. Even though I hope I don't need to. Thank you Adam. Much appreciated!!

Exceptional representation for a reckless driving (general) citation
I hired Adam Krischer to represent me in a charge of Reckless Driving - Generally. Mr. Krischer was able to resolve the matter to a “non-moving violation.” As part of the agreement, I was assessed a $30 fine plus court costs and zero points, compared to a $2500 maximum fine and 6 points that could have resulted from a reckless driving conviction. Mr. Krischer assisted me in avoiding the professional repercussions a reckless driving misdemeanor conviction might have caused by convincing the prosecutor that my driving behavior was clearly not “reckless” in any sense of the word. Mr. Krischer provided exceptional representation that resulted in a very good outcome. I recommend him very highly.

The best performance, excellent professional and a great team
I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone who needs someone to genuinely fight for them! Mr. Krischer was very aggressive in his representation and it was very clear that he was in the fight 100%! I always got to speak directly to him, his staff was always very nice and helpful as well and he always responded to my emails right away. It was so refreshing to talk to an attorney that spoke in plain terms and truly cared about my cases. I felt relieved and very comfortable each time I had interaction with Mr. Krischer, despite my highly stressful situation. He is a professional and it was apparent from his interactions with others in the Court system that he is extremely competent and very respected. I will recommend Mr. Krischer and his firm to anyone I know that needs legal assistance and know that they too will be in excellent hands!
