Review

Then Adam Parish! He is a real piece of work. He never reviewed ANY of my evidence against my ex. (told me to sign my ex's parenting plan that he would get it vacated) & 10 minutes before court he told me that my story was all fabricated. Even though I had email, audio, video, and police reports to ...back up my claims. Left me unrepresented in court and later on I found out that I paid for a motion he said that he filed, but the clerks office says other wise. My son now lives with his abusive father. Don't hire him you will regret it.

Great Job and Fair Price

I hired him to represent my fiance on a probation violation. I had contacted several other attorneys who wanted charge me thousands of dollars. He got him in court quick and got him released back out to probation. Very busy, but charged me a very fair price and got the job done quick!

Pitiful

Represented me on an unlawful termination case. Did absolutely nothing. With what he did I would have been better off representing myself.

Don't hire him

I payed him 200 dollars And I was planning to pay him 2000 in two weeks. In his office he will lie to you make it sound good,but in court he will do nothing. Adam just wants to talk people out of their money. To go to trail I would owe him 4000 in all for him to tell me no more than a public defender.... I felt like he was pushing for trail he will not return phone calls in a timely mannor.

Terrible

He is a real piece of work. Will tell you just about anything to take your money. Then you wont hear a word from him. He wont show up to court dates. And doesnt do anything he says hes going to do.His assistant is terribly rude. You have a better chance at representing yourself and saving your money ...because thats whats going to happen anyway.
