Divorced Three Times

Mr. Adams was my attorney for my recent divorce. This was my third marriage. Obviously, I've had experience with other divorce attorneys. Mr. Adams was honest, easy to reach when I needed to, and I felt that he gave me good solid advice. I have recommended him to a friend of mine, and I would rec...ommend him to anyone that needs an attorney to handle their divorce.

I Was Not The Father

A former girlfriend took me to court for child support. I was upset! I knew I wasn't the father, but she insisted that I was. Mr. Adams helped me prove that the child was not mine, and he got me out of paying support for a child that I didn't father. It was a relief to have someone I knew would... help me.

I got help when I needed it

I lost my job and the new job I got was at a much lower salary. I contacted Jerry to see if there was anything I could do about the amount of child support I was paying. I want to be a good father, but I simply could not continue to pay what I was paying. Jerry got my child support payment reduced... and I actually have more time with my child. If I have the need for a family law attorney in the future, I will call Jerry.
