Professional and Kind

Jennifer Adams Is very professional, clear, and kind. She makes an amazing effort to make the entire legal process easy. I had a non moving traffic violation and Mrs. Adams kept in good contact over email, helped me with the process and made court a breeze. She is very personable, I highly recommend ...her! She is amazing!

Great Lawyer, Great Attention to Detail. She Listens and sees clearly what needs to be done

I had a first time offense of marijuana possession arrest that was the result of a jay walking stop I had gotten a year prior to eventually meeting Mrs. Adams. Due to several complications my case it was in a state of limbo and constantly being reset over the course of a year and was causing problems... with my job due to the case being unresolved. After meeting and speaking with Mrs Adams I was able to submit proof of proof of clean drug tests and community service. Low and behold, the case was ultimately dismissed within maybe 2 weeks of even knowing Jennifer. She received my case, reviewed, analyzed it and told me clearly what I needed to do and she made perfectly good on her promise of dismissal. Now, I am back to work and living a happy life with the past behind me thanks to Jennifer Adams. She is empathetic, down to earth and cares about whom she represents and that meant everything to me. If you seek criminal defense Jennifer is without a single doubt the woman you want to call. Thanks again for everything Jennifer :)

My Case

My divorce case was a very tricky complicated one at times. Due to the exposing counsel. But I have to say Mrs. Adams remained very calm and professional throughout the tough challenges throw her way. Mrs. Adams did not lower her standards at any time just to win my case. She presented my case based ...off of facts and case Laws. Mrs. Adams represented me very well. Once again I would like to thank her for her services.

Bad Attornery

I hired this attorney for a felony criminal case in Gwinnett county. She was not very helpful and took my money with no results. As a result I had to spend more money and find a different attorney. I was facing 5 years in jail because of her failed attempt at negotiation a better deal with the prose...cutor. She told me their was nothing she could do and she did all she can. Well this was a lie because my new attorney got me no jail time and probation time. Their is nothing zealous about Ms. Adams. I despise people who intentionally preys on others in a bad situation and take their money. DO NOT HIRE HER FOR FELON CRIMINAL OFFENSE, you will be out of thousands of dollars and be highly disappointed

While I disagree with your recollection of events, it is unfortunate that you were unsatisfied with my representation. I sincerely wish you had been as satisfied as all of my other clients. I wish you luck and am very happy to hear that the criminal case turned out well for you.
