Excellent Attorney

Mr. Adams is an excellent attorney. He is very knowledgeable and talented in his field of practice and was very attentive to all aspects of my case. I felt very secure throughout the process with him and his staff working as my representatives. Mr. Adams was very detailed oriented and understands ...the insurance companies very well. He is also kind and understanding. Mr. Adams explained the steps and process we would be going through. He and his staff always kept me informed and were available to answer any question that arose. I had talked with other attorneys and I found none that could compare to Mr. Adams. I highly recommend Mr. Adams if you are looking for the best attorney available.

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.
