Very intelligent and thorough

Mr Adams did a great job evaluating my legal concerns and questions regarding an employment issue. He is extremely smart and analytical. He researched my situation ahead of time and knew the details of my situation before we even met. He then explained everything to me very well and presented me with... multiple options going forward and went into great detail of each one. I was extremely impressed and pleased with his services and will definitely be using him for all my legal needs in the future. I highly recommend Mr Adams.

Excellent Employment Lawyer

I highly recommend Mr. Adams to everyone who needs a lawyer regarding all employment matters. Mr. Adams is an extremely respectful, professional, prompt, and thorough lawyer. Mr. Adams gave his undivided attention when handling my case. He showed ultimate respect, kindness, and understanding no ma...tter how trival my question. He put me at ease despite my difficult situation.

Hard working firm

Scott Adams is a partner at Labar/Adams. He and his whole legal team did a phenomenal job in executing my employment/workman's comp litigation. If your looking for a lawyer who is going to lie to get you compensation you're looking in the wrong place! Mr. Adams is honest and hard working and wins ...cases because of that, not because of dishonesty. Refreshing in a lawyer! While sometimes he can be moody, those times should be overlooked because they are few and far between. He is former military and shows that kind of discipline in the execution of his profession. Be on time and don't miss appointments! If you work with him he will work hard for you. He is focused on every detail of every case, the intricacies of the laws, and is always looking for backdoor opportunities to find justice for clients who have been wronged. Words to describe him: Professional, smart, fair, attentive, focused, incredibly hard working, good memory, slightly impatient.

Upmost confidence and tremendous professionalism, That is what Mr. Adams puts into all of his work.

It seems like a common denominator among all of his reviews but it is absolutely correct. The way the firm handles the case puts you at complete ease and gives you the confidence that it will get resolved on your favor. It also completes the task on a fairly quick manner which it was also surprising ...on the type of case that he had at hand representing the client against the big corporation (which also has the intimidating factor of having plenty resources to put up a long fight) Mr. Adams showed nothing but strong confidence, capabilities and will, and that's why it got positively resolved on my benefit. For that my gratitude goes to the entire firm and also my absolute confidence on referring anyone who needs assistance in legal matters.

World class advocacy and support

Mr Adams took my case for employment discrimination (race and age) knowing the low probability of success. What he saw was gross injustice and was bent on righting a wrong. He provided first rate service by studying the employers biz model, legal history and financial health - constantly educating me... along the way. He demonstrated his in-depth knowledge of relevant case laws and legal precedents by solidify my claims during mediation. His efforts resulted in a favorable settlement in the end. He is an obvious legal scholar and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
