Great customer service

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.

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.

Excellent Divorce attorney

Adam was very helpful in all aspects of the process. Seemed very knowledgeable and was able to answer any an all questions I had. He was accessible and returned calls/emails very promptly. Made an unpleasant situation as bearable as possible. Affordable as well.

Horrible

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.

"Adam is the attorney in Forsyth I send folks to for Estate Planning issues, as well as one of the go-to lawyers I refer folks to for divorce or other family-law issues. Adam is very knowledgeable in both areas, works hard for his clients, and will make sure his clients' interests are protected. I recommend Adam Lilly and endorse him."

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."
