Joshua Schiffer, Domestic violence Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
There are very few people that have the same combination of appeal skills AND trial skills. Adam is one of a kind and that is exactly why attorneys here in GA and across the nation seek out his counsel. He is my go-to for many issues, and I never hesitate to refer my personal clients to him.

Whether it's at trial or for an appeal, Adam Hames is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Atlanta. He works hard for his clients and has extensive experience. If I had a family member in trouble, he would be one of the of the first attorneys I would call.
