Review Adam Less

Great attorney

Posted by

I had never been in trouble before, and talked to several lawyers before selecting Adam to represent me. During my consultation he told me exactly what I was facing, and didn't sugarcoat the situation. He walked me through the process, and answered all my questions. Adam cared about me, and my case. In the end he was able to get my charges reduced, and me into a diversion program. Successful completion of the program led to the charges being dropped. If any of my friends, or family are in need of a criminal defense attorney I will refer them to Adam. He is head and shoulders above the rest!

The Real Deal!

Posted by

Adam gets the job done, and he doesn’t bs! If you want a lawyer who is upfront, understanding, but also a pitbull in court! You got him. He understands that you are human and as long as you hold up your end of the bargain, and make payments on time or contact them if there’s any discrepancies they will appreciate that and move accordingly. Not only did he have case after case but still made time for each case, he beat our case!

Excellent Attorney!

I was very happy with how he handled my case. It may have cost a few extra dollars than I really wanted to spend but he got all my charges dismissed and that’s all I wanted. Thank you!

Unique Marshall, Divorce and separation Attorney on May 29, 2015

I had the pleasure of working against Mr. Less in a divorce and custody matter. Throughout the matter, Mr. Less worked diligently for his client while maintaining a high level of professionalism. I endorse this lawyer.

Leanne Ohle, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 5, 2015

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Less is an experienced attorney who works extremely hard to get the best results for his clients.

Lance Richard, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 26, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I highly endorse this lawyer. Adam is an excellent attorney who is very well versed in the law and knows his way around the courtroom. He has gained a lot of experience in a short amount of time and I have worked with him on several cases which yielded very positive results for the client.

John Meehan, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 5, 2015
Relationship: Co-worker

Adam is a tough lawyer with a big heart. He is ferocious in his defense of clients, and he is extremely personable. We worked together in a legal clinic, and I witnessed first hand his dedication to clients, and his character. I would definitely recommend him, and as a matter of fact, I have even referred Florida clients to him despite my practice being in Missouri.

Philip DeBerard, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 29, 2014
Relationship: Co-worker

I worked with Adam at the Public Defender's Office before we went our separate ways. He is a fantastic attorney and one of the hardest working people I know.

Charles Baron

I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer, who has a very high level of competence and knowledge in his practice areas, as reflected by his answers on this website.

Judd Nemiro

This Attorney is a well respected member of the legal industry, they go above and beyond to fight for their clients and I highly recommend them for legal counsel.

Kathryn Roegiers, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 23, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Adam is an excellent attorney. Before he was a lawyer, I supervised him at the Public Defender's office as an intern. Even then he had the same passion, dedication, and zealous representation that he has for his client's now. And because of that, when I resigned from Jeff Gorman's Law Office, I recommended Adam as my replacement. He has continued that same dedication at Jeff's office and gets his client's excellent results while holding their hands through the process.

Barbara Wagner, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 23, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Adam Less for almost two decades. He is an extremely skilled and hard working attorney. He is dedicated to the best interests of his clients, and has the utmost in integrity. I highly endorse him.

Victoria Clemans, Child custody Attorney on Oct 4, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Less cares about his clients and works hard to get good results. Beloved in the legal community and highly esteemed by his colleagues.

Jeff Gorman, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 2, 2014
Relationship: Supervised lawyer

I am proud to endorse Adam as a great young lawyer. I have supervised Adam on countless criminal and family cases throughout his time at my firm, and he impresses me time and time again. As a former prosecutor, I have gone up against plenty of new attorneys in court, but Adam handles his cases and himself in court like a veteran advocate. He's passionate about his clients' rights and does what is necessary to advocate aggressively for them. I would trust him with any case I have, and strongly endorse him in both criminal and divorce cases.

John O'Brien, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 2, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community, I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who knows the law and truly cares about protecting the rights of his clients and getting them the most favorable result possible.
