Impressive Experience!

Just received my first traffic ticket for speeding and was very nervous and unsure as to the outcome, and how my license and insurance would be affected. I contacted Adam Seifer and was immediately reassured that Adam would do his best to get the best possible outcome for me. I was very pleasantl...y surprised and relieved to learn that just 2 days after my call to their office, Adam was able to get the charge reduced so that there would be no impact to my license or my insurance! I am so impressed and happy. Thank you Adam-- your excellent work on my behalf is truly appreciated.

Great Job

I was pulled over and charged with a DWI while in Charlotte for the summer (though I live out of state). Adam and his team were able to get the court dates moved to fit my schedule and when one of the officer's failed to show they were able to put together an argument that resulted in me being found ...not guilty (an outcome that would have been near impossible if the officer had appeared and which was a toss-up going in to the trial phase). They kept me up to date on when I needed to be in court, answered all my questions about what was needed of me (not being able to run home if I forgot something) and making sure I was fully informed about my options. I would definitely recommend Adam and his team and if I ever find myself in a similar situation in Charlotte will not hesitate to call them.

The Best

If you want the best legal representation, I recommend that you contact Adam. I received a hefty traffic ticket a few months back. Due to the severeness of these violations, I was in fear of losing my license. After talking to several people and receiving their recommendations on attorneys, I contact...ed several attorneys, who were described to me as being the best in town. Upon meeting with these attorneys, I did not feel good about the best possible outcome described to me by these attorneys, as they all resulted in the loss of my driver's license for a year. At this point I did further research and came across reviews for Adam. After reading these reviews, I knew that I needed to, at a minimum, get his opinion. Adam was very understanding of my situation and the importance of me not losing my license. While he did not promise a favorable outcome, he assured me that he would fight his hardest to get me the best possible outcome(which happened to be better than the best possible outcomes per other attorneys). This left me with a feeling of hope and peace of mind, which is all that I could ask for. Adam worked diligently to get me the best outcome, which resulted in me keeping my driver's license. Adam and his staff kept me updated throughout the entire process. If you are in the Charlotte Metropolitan Area and have legal issues in any of the practice areas in which Adam specializes, I highly recommend that you utilize the services of Adam at SeiferFlatow.

DWI attorney

Adam Seifer worked diligently to provide me with the best services I could ask for. He brilliantly worked with the district attorney to have my sentenced reduced substantially. He kept me and my family in the loop at all times and never sugar coated the reality of my very serious situation. I am pro...ud that I retained his services and I consider him the marquee defense attorney in Charlotte NC.

Exceptional and Noteworthy Lawyer!!

I ran across Adam Seifer's name through JUSTIA on the web when seeking legal advice. I was very impressed with his credentials and accolades! Upon my initial consultation, his staff was very resourceful, pleasant, and accommodating. Mr. Seifer was very thorough in taking the time to listen to my case..., despite being very minuscule compared to a large majority of his clients. He really made me feel like my case was just as important. He clarified the entire process and what his firm would be able to do. I was very surprised and relieved when I received notification that he did exactly what he promised and even a month before the actual court date. A stellar law firm that comes highly recommended!
