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.

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.

If youre in need of a good lawyer to accomedate your needs. Mr. Adam Barrington is the Lawyer to have.
I was in a vehicle accident months back, and I had some injuries that effected me. I became in contact with Attorney Adam Barrington where he represented me in a personal injury claim. Attorney Barrington was very productive for day one. Attorney Barrington also is an attorney that is concerned about his client well being. Attorney Barrington checked on me, for example " how are you doing" are you feeling better". He was very informative and answered any questions and returned any phone calls. He also kept all scheduled appointments and during appointments the focus was on my situation with no interruptions. Overall If you are in need of attorney on any matter of personal injuries Attorney Adam Barrington would be the one to have represent you. His work is professional and above excellence.
