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.

Great Experience

Adam done an AMAZING job helping out with my girlfriends custody case getting her permanent custody. Great man would recommend to others.

Always a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I have been working with Adam for nearly 11 years now in regards to my Son. Adam has always been very easy to work with. He works hard on our cases and never fails to get us great results even though it sometimes seems impossible. He is a straight shooter that doesn't beat around the b...ush or sugar coat anything. So, if you hire him prepare yourself for the truth. We love how aggresive he is in the courtroom. He does his job and he does it well. He is a very busy man and I have found the best way to reach him is via email. He always responds quickly and is very informative. I would recommend him to anyone.

Awesome Lawyer!

I have had Adam represent me during two different cases around my child in the past 3 years and he has always been very polite and compassionate during our conversations. He is a very busy man as are most good lawyers so be patient with the call backs and such. He was very aggressive during my hearin...g and was willing to listen to what I had to say and seek what I was asking for. I hope nothing but the best for Mr. Bull in the future!

No Communication

I spoke with Adam while having a 30 minute consultation with him. During my time spent with him over the phone, I was very impressed with this attorney and I knew this was the person I needed to battle against DSS. Adam advised he would check into a couple of things and get back with me within 2 busi...ness days. After that time, I never heard from him so I left several emails and phone messages at his office and Adam will never contact me back. I finally sent and email asking him to return my call and I included his partner Christopher on the email. I needed to know if Adam is able to take my case or not. I received one email from Adam apologizing that he had my name mixed up with an older case he had a few years back. But that’s all the email stated. I asked him again via email, I just needed to know if he is able to take my case or not, and I never heard back from him. All Adam needed to tell me is that he was unable to take my case and I would’ve dropped the issue and move on with a different attorney. For him to flat out ignore morbafyer making a verbal promise that he would get back to me is totally unprofessional and unacceptable. This attorney is obviously one that will leave you hanging. I do not recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Miller did contact my office, however we never had a formal consultation nor did he come to my office. I was not provided any paperwork nor were we ever retained to undertake representation.

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.
