Benjamin Adam Lilly

As most of you reading this will agree, going through a divorce is one of the most challenging times in life we will ever face. I reached out to Adam in a time of need and after being made very comfortable in our initial consultation, made the decision to retain his services. Adam was extremely pro...fessional, knowledgeable, provided sound guidance and showed empathy and caring as I worked through this process. He was mindful of the expense involved and offered great advice along the way. During a divorce we are very exposed and often have to share sensitive information. Adam was very easy to communicate with and always made me feel comfortable. Do your self a favor and use Adam if you are facing a divorce in your future. You will not regret retaining him and having him on your side.

I cant thank Adam enough, he went above and beyond for me with my divorce. He was kind and caring and really listened to me, he kept me informed of my rights throughout. He answers phone calls and personally deals with you. I have recommended him several times in recent weeks and will continue to... do so.

Aristotle said, “We are what we continually do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.” This is how we endeavor to live and work. It is what we look for in fellow professionals. We discovered Adam Lilly while in court for another matter. While waiting our turn, Mr. Lilly stated... and argued his case. He was sharp. Articulate, to the point and well-prepared, he recited precedent and methodically worked his way through due process. We hired him to represent our family in what turned out to be a long, arduous custody battle for my husband’s daughter. We believed that if a father stood a chance in obtaining primary custody, Mr. Lilly would be the one to achieve it, and do so in a manner that would allow us to sleep at night. He ensured that we were apprised throughout the process; he explained our options; and he advised us, answering scores of our questions. He never lost sight of the fact that the well-being of an innocent child was at stake. All decisions were considered and made with her as the primary concern; not us. While the opposition was inarticulate, ill-mannered and highly emotional, both in and out of court, Mr. Lilly stayed the course free of emotion and won the case. He remained dignified and elegant, as we believe proceedings in court matters ought to be. We happily continue as his clients today with oversight of our personal affairs, and are grateful to have found someone so well-versed in and respectful of the law and the ethical way in which it should be practiced: With excellence. It is without hesitation that we recommend Adam Lilly for legal counsel.

Adam Lilly’s firm was recommended by two experienced Cumming attorneys who felt he would be better suited to handle my unique case. I am very grateful for their advice. I had been searching for months with these two requirements in mind: 1) my lawyer needed to be highly efficient ... respectful of my... time, due to my financial limitations and 2) they needed to have mastery of their profession ... guiding me through the process of ending my 30-year marriage with as little stress as possible. Mr. Lilly met both of these stipulations. In my experience with lawyers, Mr. Lilly’s integrity and wise-beyond-his-years command of the legal process is a rare combination. His honesty and skill prevented errors that a less-than attorney could have taken advantage of, all the way to the bank. Mr. Lilly practices down to the very finest detail exactly what he believes. He is efficient and organized, putting to good use his technological expertise to streamline paperwork. He agreed to keep our communications via email and/or in person succinct and comprehensive. And because of it, I was able to maintain a reserve of funds, just in case it was needed. As a freelance writer, stay-at-home wife, and mom of two (now young adult) children, my prospects for reentering the workforce earning anywhere near enough to continue my standard of living were formidable. My ex’s very serious health claims were also a big concern. Mr. Lilly was not put off by any of these factors. When it became clear that my ex had no intention of negotiating in good faith, forcing us into a contested divorce and purposely dragging out mediation, Mr. Lilly recognized it for what it was and quickly ended the mediation, announcing that we would see them in court. The morning of the trial, Mr. Lilly was early, and prepared. I hadn’t needed to do anything but rest the night before. His ease and confidence soothed my anxiousness. When my ex's attorney entered into evidence Facebook images of the gentleman I had met a year ago who is still my partner to this day, implying that I was an adulteress, Mr. Lilly remained calm. He quietly assured me that if they wanted to open that door, we would gladly go there. Each time my ex and I took the stand, Mr. Lilly knew exactly what to ask and how. He seamlessly and confidently brought the truth to light. I was a loyal wife and mom who sacrificed a lot to raise a family, tend to our home, pets and children, home-educate when our son needed extra help, and support my husband's career. I had worked hard to try to restore our broken marriage, well beyond what most spouses would. I will never forget the immense relief and justice I felt when Mr. Lilly made his closing argument. His words were compelling and everyone was stunned, including me. When Judge Bagley made his ruling, he awarded several times what my ex had proposed, along with every item on my personal property list. Mr. Lilly’s argument had been so effective, that the judge added a very unusual stipulation ... my alimony would be irrevocable, even if I remarried. According to his staff, it was unprecedented. Would I recommend Mr. Lilly? Yes, indeed ... to my closest friend. The only advice I would give someone standing in my old shoes would be this: when you list your personal property, be absolutely sure you include everything you might want and/or need, right down to the pruning shears hanging in the garage. I ended up re-purchasing a piece of furniture I’d bought for $15 at auction. This time, it cost me $500.

At first Mr. lilly seems nice and willing to work with you on payments. However, buyer beware! This is a horrible lawyer. I came to him for an emergency custody hearing. When the judge asked how long he needed to state my case he stated 15 min while opposing counsil stated 2 hrs. Really?? I bro...ught him a ton of evidence and none of it was used. Obvously I lost the temporary custody hearing. His legal knowledge is minimal at best. This lawyer simply doesnt care and lacks the passion to do the work required to win. Lazy, none responsive, a Liar, and he doesn't care. He just wants to get paid. Needless to say I got another lawyer for my final hearing. EVERYTHING MR. LILLY TOLD ME NOT TO DO MY NEW LAWYER TO ME TO MAKE SURE THAT I DO IT. As a father I was told I would not get custody of my children. If I had stayed with Mr. Lilly I would NOT have my children today. I now have primary custoday of my children because I didnt stick with Mr. Lilly. If you want a lawyer who has the balls to fight for you, he is NOT it. Mr. Lilly is easily pushed around by other lawyers. Please, if you are looking for a REAL lawyer, go with someone else.
