Low Down as you can get

I was recommended to him by a bf and he did fine on his case but when I used him it was all down hill from there, he took both my criminal and dcs case when he showed up at my dcs case he was very nervous like he was walking back in fourth pacing and couldn't hold his papers the fell all in the hal...l way couldn't even hold his pencil it kept falling to the ground wen we got infront of the judge at the dcs court he couldn't answer the judges questions becuz he didn't know the judge looks at me and I answered the questions he was sitting beside me and it remained that way untill court was over and he just sat there, next was my criminal court he told me $2,500 and he could get me a set a side on the same morning I had to be in court he told me everything was fine and he got the set a side and he would tell me when my next court date was not even 2 days later the police came to my house arrested me and turns out he never got the set a side. So I went to jail sat there all weekend BECUZ I HAD NO BOND!!! (I WAS COUNTING ON ADAM AND HE DID THE LOWEST OF THE LOW) Monday came and I went to court when it was my turn I went in the booth to talk to Adam and he told me that he WASNT GONNA ASK for a bond to be set that day even after the $2,500 I had just givin him I was crying and all he could do was yell at me about how my family had been calling him all weekend and was cursing Him and walked off (but what did he expect when they all helped give me $2,500 to hire him) AFTER talking to Adam I LEFT THE BOOTH that I was told to go sit down then I was called out to the court room I DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON I had never been to jail b4 they told me to go stand by this attorney ( I didn't know/hire him) The judge and this attorney started talking THE JUDGE SAID MY BOND AMOUNT AND HONESTLY I STARTED CRYING MY JUDGE WAS NICE ENOUGH YO TALK YO ME nd help calm me down and even told me i was going home didnt know how or why at that time But found out my boyfriend and FAMILY had gotten me a lawyer that was willing to do the right thing and get me my court date and set my bond. I have never been in trouble but the feeling I got in court was that my judge new ADAM COULD HAVE ASKED AND GOT ME A BOND BUT DIDNT WHY I DONT KNOW BUT IT WASNT A NICE EXPERIENCE AND IF YOU DONT WANT THAT KIND OR EXPERIENCE DO NOT TRUST ADAM PARRISH!!

Best Attorney Around

He represented me in Criminal court on a felony. I never walked into court & he had it dismissed. He represented me in DCS and had it dismissed also. He even works with my other attorney that’s in another county. I’d definitely recommend him. Also super affordable.

The Worst

He never answers the phone, does not return calls, and seems to not even care what happens in court.
