Best lawyer

We have hired him a couple different times paid him $250 once to file a harassment suit and he never did and didn't return our money another time he said if we came up with $900 he wouldn't have to go to jail paid him and my man went to jail any way but he has helped us on other cases and did a great... job he's very fair on price I live in macon county and he's always showed up. I would recommend him and I will use him again he's not perfect but he's straight forward and tried his hardest to fight for you

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.

Represent yourself first!

Adam represented me in my child custody case that involved physical and emotional abuse my son was enduring at his father's home who is the non-custodial parent. Adam did not appear at several of my court dates causing me to lose the case. He stated he never received interrogatories from the opposing... attorney which cost me to owe the ex attorney fees. Adam, then emailed my interrogatories a day late, which caused the judge to slam me with another amount to pay the ex in attorney fees. With everything I've read, Adam should have been sanctioned by the judge but instead it appears I was to be the victim here. I do not recommend anyone hire this attorney to represent them in a child custody case involving abuse of your child. Represent yourself first!!
