Attorney who took stress away instead of piling on...

Great attorney! Kept me informed and helped me navigate a tough situation. Cant say enough nice things about Adam and his staff.

Posted by anonymous | March 15, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

They were fast, inexpensive and did everything they said.

I hired Adam to handle with an old traffic ticket. They resolved the issue within 24 hours. I highly recommend him.

Best Lawyer in the 704

Adam and his team are amazing! I was referred to Adam and his firm by a lawyer in the city I live in last year. I reached out to get help and at the time I wasn’t ready to pay anything, so I just stopped responding. This year when I had the money available he handled my case for the same cost origina...lly discussed and got my case handled in a speedy manner without me appearing. If I get in legal trouble in the 704 area again I definitely will be reaching out for assistance again.

Only lawyer that believed in me

Best of the best. I was charged with some things I didnt do and Mr. Seifer was the only lawyer that believed in me and the results reflected that.

Posted by Davonte | March 11, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Best attorney in Charlotte!! Hands down!!

I met with 3 other lawyers who told me my case was hopeless and they all wanted to charge me a low price to plead guilty. When I met with Mr. Seifer, he didnt BS me about my case. Told me the good, the bad and the ugly, but said he would fight like hell for me. When I asked him why his price was high...er than the other guys I had met with, he told me that at those prices, they were probably going to just convicne me to plead guilty and wouldnt fight very hard, which is exactly what they planned on doing!! I weighed the pros and the cons and ultimately decided Mr. Seifer was worth it and by the end of the case I had gotten my life back!! In hindsight, Mr. Seifer ended up being a bargain and I would have gladly paid him more money to have gotten the result he got me!! THANKS MR. SEIFER!! YOU DA MAN!!

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.
