Estate Planning

Mr. Lily provided advice and prepared wills, power of attorney and health directives for me and my husband along with documents to fill out to make things easier for our survivors.

Highly Recommended!

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.

JUST CALL, MAKE APPOINTMENT & GO, IT'S WORTH THE TRIP!

If you are looking for a very capable and honest attorney that truly is client-focused, look no further. Adam was highly competent and thorough in handling a difficult family matter for me. He took the time to listen and address all my concerns, answering every question clearly and concisely. His ...focus was always on what benefited me the most. Beyond being a skilled and knowledgeable lawyer, Adam puts you at ease as he knows exactly what needs to be done and how to do it; and does so in the most cost-efficient way possible for his clients. Adam helped me reach a favorable outcome to an extremely unfavorable situation. I consider myself fortunate to have had Adam’s representation and recommend him to others who need assistance in his areas of practice.

Excellent Lawyer

I hired Mr.Lilly for a child support case. He always answered my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. He spent the time to explain everything we were doing. He was very smart and we won the case in court.

Thoughtful, Thorough, Excellent

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.

Family lawyer | Oct 27

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Adam Lilly was my opposing counsel on a case several years ago. From an attorney perspective, he was the ideal opposing counsel. He promptly responded to all my communications, and responded to discovery fully and timely, which is a blessing in litigating a case. He had a client with some character issues who had done some things throughout the litigation that violated court orders. Mr. Lilly had obviously spent time telling his client what to expect, and to testify honestly, which greatly helped his client's outcome. He also had evidence against my client, which he used. It was a pleasure having him as opposing counsel, and I endorse him as a family law attorney."
