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.

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.

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.
