Client Review:

Mr. Adams was hired represent my under 21 son with two traffic violation cases. He successfully negotiated and handled each case in two counties and we appreciate his services.

He saved me from jail and from losing my license

I had a DUI case and had used Chris before. He was very straight and honest with me back then and got better results than he had told me to expect. I really thought I was doomed this time but he figured out some problems the state had with the case and got the charges reduced. I didn't have to go bac...k to that awful jail and I didn't lose my license. I won't tell Chris he was cheap :-) but he was more than worth what we paid. What a classy guy and a great lawyer!

Free At Last Free At Last

Chris is great. He always had things in hand. I was trying to get a divorce and it was terrible. Chris was my Lawer from the start and I will use him for anything else that comes my way. My X wanted everything and I mean everything and he saved me.

awesome attorney

I had an custody and stalking issues with my ex husband. Chris many times went out of his way to make sure I stayed safe and got all the appropriate restraining orders immediately. He got great results.

Good lawyer

Mr. Adams did my divorce and kicked @#$. He knew alot more than my wife's lawyer and was always prepared. He even did my will and stuff after the divorce for free.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Chris is tough as nails, without a doubt. He works hard for his clients and makes me earn every dollar when we're on opposite sides. Yet, when I see his name on a case as opposing counsel, I know that I'll be working with a straight-shooter."
