Worst possible representative

I hired Adam to represent me in a criminal defense capacity. First day of court the DA was hounding him about not getting in contact with her and he clearly didn’t know what he was doing. He got me into drug court and said my charge would be dismissed upon completion. I completed in the minimum time ...and at the graduation I discovered, after 18 months, that my charge was not dismissed and I was a felon, despite never having a violation. He said he would handle it. 9 months later, after at least a dozen attempts to get in contact with him, and after being fired from my dream job due to my felonious status, he got me a court date. He never once communicated the purpose of the court date, despite me directly asking if I was looking at probation, and when I went in I was RESENTENCED to 3 years of probation! He said he would get me out in 1 year with good behavior. He would not return a call, would not communicate with the probation office. 3 years later he would not even call to find out if I had been released. By far the worst possible representative I could have imagined. The arrest was my fault, but the rest of the 6 years was 100% his failure to understand the workings of drug court and probation protocols. Would give him zero stars. Look elsewhere, public defense would have been better.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
