Phenomenal job by an outstanding attorney. Adam was able to dismiss all federal charges. Without any hesitation, I would recommend Adam to anyone looking for legal counsel.

Outstanding experience. Professional, knowledgeable, and responsive!

Attorney Adam Barrington and his office provided outstanding service, demonstrated the utmost professionalism, and displayed unbeatable attention to detail in my personal injury case. Adam's ability to communicate with the average person about the complex personal injury process made the experience working with him one I will not forget. He ensured my family and I understood each part of the process and also ensured that expectations were established and met. All communication was prompt. Each time we corresponded, I had an understanding of what was next with an expected timeframe. The amount that Adam was able to recover for my family has considerably aided our financial wellbeing. If you decide to have an attorney represent you in a personal injury case, talk to Adam Barrington, you will not regret it! I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone.

It was a pleasure to serve you. I was ecstatic about the outcome of your case. Thanks for your trust.

Best of the Best in North Carolina Law

Adam Barrington represented me while both overseas and in the states. He was able to quickly grasp my legal issue, tell me what he could do for me and fixed it exactly how he said. As a 28 year army officer I would go to no one else to handle my legal issues. Adam is above reproach in handling personal matters and moves quickly through the court system to ensure you not waiting long to have results. No better attorney in North Carolina.
