Christopher Todd Adams

Wish I had known he was under investigation by Gwinnett County for fraud and lying before hiring him to take my divorce case. It was the most expensive uncontested divorce ever. My ex and I did all the work ,he kept padding the bill and did absolutely nothing as an advocate for me to get a better ...settlement. Had an emergency hearing and he showed up for 5 minutes. When he needed more money he would invoice me saying he discussed the case with his staff. He never knew what was going on so I knew he was lying. He did absolutely nothing for the money he charged me. Divorce is hard enough without having an attorney that just didn't care. He gives attorney's a bad name, I hope I never have to use one again.

Chris did an absolutely superb job handling my divorce case and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a top notch lawyer! My divorce case involved a high-conflict spouse that demanded a completely unnecessary jury trial. Chris listened carefully to me and my daughter, understood the issues a...nd concerns, always had faith in me, and represented me during the entire case and trial as if he was my brother, always with my best interest at heart. He has an unshakable temperament and easy going nature that worked well with me and most importantly with the jury and judge. I can't say enough about his comprehension of the pertinent issues and his ability to articulate and correctly stitch everything into a top notch presentation of the facts of my case. Although I would never want to go through any type of litigation again, if I did, I would hire Chris in a heartbeat.

I hired Mr. Adams to defend me in a family violence criminal case and divorce settlment. The divorce went very smoothly and Mr. Adams provided very sound counsel on where he felt I could come out, which seemed fair to me and was accepted by my ex-wife with little back-and-forth. On the criminal cas...e, the charges included two felonies and two misdemeanors. Mr. Adams advised that he believed the felony charges were excessive and put together a plan to have the charges reduced or dropped, which included action steps on my part and negotiating with the state. What I most appreciated about Mr. Adams' counsel was that he was always open and not falsely optimistic. In our first meeting he explained that he believes it does not do any side any good to portray false optimism and tried to be honest in his assessments. Following that comment, he explained that my case was not beyond repair and that I could take comfort in knowing that he had seen far worse reach an agreeable and satisfactory end. Throughout the entire process (which took 16 months), Mr. Adams was good to check-in with updates and explanation of various processes, either from himself or one of his highly skilled office staff. He did a very good job of explaining his strategy and why he believed it to be the most effective route in seeing our hoped outcome in the case. He was very willing to accept questions and re-explain certain nuances of the law and his strategy if I needed more clarification. Throughout the process I never felt that my case was in poor hands - meaning Mr. Adams or his staff. He reached out to the state on multiple occasions to propose a reduced charge and plea agreement. Ultimately, we stuck to Mr. Adams original recommendation in strategy and received a very favorable offer from the state. The felony charges were eventually lowered to misdemeanors and the original misdemeanors were dropped. Mr. Adams' office was extremely professional throughout the process, but each of them also provided a very welcomed friendly presence in each of my meetings with them. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Adams and his staff for anyone seeking an attorney for either of these types of cases.

I had a criminal case drag on for some time and was referred to Chris by an old friend who used him for several things over the years. His staff was real helpfull and got me in before I had a nervous brakedown. He had good ideas and eventually got almost everything dropped. He saved my life and my li...cense! I referred a family memeber to him for a divorce because I wouldn't want anybody else representing me or them. I saw a review on here that wasn't good and told Chris it was probably somebody from the other side still upset. got them so
