Couldn’t ask for better

With less than 24 hours before trial, I contacted Attorney Bull hoping for a miracle. To my surprise, he was able to meet with me immediately & begin working on my case. Adam was pleasant, intelligent, and to the point. In the courtroom he secured me the best outcome possible, with what looked like l...ittle ease. If you’re thinking about using Adam Bull, you can’t go wrong.

Outstanding!

Mr. Bull is an exceptional attorney! He was responsive, thorough, and deliberate throughout our 2 year custody battle. He gave invaluable advice as we navigated a contentious case. The entire team working alongside Mr. Bull was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them!

Direct, authentic, doesn't waste time

Mr. Bull was the only attorney who was willing to work with me through my equitable distribution case. He quickly picked up on the energy/dynamics of my situation, and he was straight forward with me from the start. He's not going to waste your time/money humoring you; he will use his time and your m...oney efficiently to get the job done, and to do it WELL. In 3 1/2 years, I couldn't accomplish what he finalized in a few months. As a result, he's quickly become one of my personal superheroes. His staff was super throughout the process, as well. I can't speak highly enough about the confidence I had in him.

Excellent and Friendly

Hired Adam based on a personal reference for him, couldn't ask for a better lawyer. He answered all my many emails and even responded to me at 8:30 pm at night. He really put me at ease walking through a seperation/divorce. He is very personable and timely in all his responses. I will recommend him t...o everyone I know!

Thank you Bull and Reinhardt!

I have seen Adam Bull in the courtroom and you would not want to be on the other side of his cross examinations. Both he and Chris Reinhardt are "bulldogs" in the courtroom and they have helped me in my divorce case where my spouse was trying to destroy my life. If you are looking for attorneys to ...get you across the finish line in a difficult family law situation this office is great.

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.
