Great Lawyer

Adam guided me through a blindsiding separation agreement and aggressive tactics from my ex’s lawyer. Within 30 minutes, he laid out exactly how things would play out — and he was right. He calmly dismantled their arguments, protected me from unfair pressure, and secured a fair 50/50 outcome. ... I highly recommend him — he’s experienced, no-drama, and I appreciated his dry humor.

Professional, Helpful, Quick!

Adam was extremely helpful, professional, and did not waste either of our time. He handled my legal matters much quicker than I expected, and way quicker than a friend of mine who happened to be going through the exact same situation. I've worked with him at two firms now and I would whole heartedly ...recommend Mr. Vorhis. He is objective, honest, and will not lead you in the wrong direction just to have your business. He treats your personal matters, time, and money with the utmost respect. I won't look for another lawyer of his specialization in the future, as I already know he will handle anything that comes my way.

Divorce, custody and support

Adam did an amazing job of helping me deal with the court process. I had been legally separated for 3 years before diving back into the court system to try and finalize the divorce, change the child support and the child custody. In those 3 years several things had changed and when I first went bac...k into the courts I tried to do so without an attorney, but it seemed like everything was being done wrong and the judges let me know that. So I ended up looking for an attorney, and, through the attorney who handled the original separation, I was put in touch with Adam. My first consultation with him was wonderful as he managed to explain what the issues the judges had with the filings were and to help me understand what needed to happen. I hired him right after that. He handled the child custody first, as that was already in motion by the time I hired him. He made the whole process understandable and explained the steps needed to get through it. The child support issues, which were also underway, he helped to resolve just as effectively, moving the issue out of child support court and into family court. The easiest issue was the divorce, but he took care of that as well. Overall, he helped me through a difficult process, making it far easier to deal with and understand, kept me informed of what was happening and why. I am very grateful to Adam for his hard work and effort in helping me with the custody and divorce issues, as well as the child support issues, which were greatly affected by the outcome of the child custody case.

Considerate and Knowledgeable

I hired Adam for a difficult custody case. My ex-husband wanted to sign away his parental rights, and while I was agreeable to the situation, I was completely clueless where to start. Even though my ex-husband started the process he and his attorney were difficult to work with. Adam was there every s...tep of the way. He was insightful and kind. He was responsive to my questions, answering emails within hours. He also has a broad legal knowledge and a good moral compass. I felt proud to have him on my side. He also has a gem in his paralegal, Debbie. She is warm, funny and compassionate. Adam was able to take a very stressful situation and turn it into a win for my child.

Outstanding Family Lawyer

Adam has represented me in both a contempt of court claim and a modification of child support case. As a former criminal defense lawyer Adam displays a demeanor that is both confident and assertive when in court. He takes the time to answer any questions and is excellent at helping separate the emot...ional from the actual - a very important skill in family law. He also is very reasonable with his charges and does not nickle and dime your for every little thing. I would highly recommend Adam as a family lawyer.
