BEST LAWYER IN Columbus,Ohio

Adam has always been there for my best interest and he is always prepared for court dates. I was facing a lot of time for something I didn't do and Adam made sure that I didn't do the time that the prosecutor was trying to give me and I got found not guilty on all counts... Now if that's not a ...good lawyer I don't know what it is!! He stands up for what's right and will always burn for the best interest of his clients.... He really is one of the best lawyers around Columbus Ohio hands down!!!!!

Fast, Efficient and Responsive

I was involved in an altercation with a powerful elected official, who really likes to throw his weight around in the community with powerful connections. After over 3 months of no progress, I fired my previous attorney and hired Adam and his firm. Ever since the first night I talked to attorney Fuhr...mann I felt at ease. She and Adam worked methodically on how to handle my case, they understood that this case was going to be trickier than usual. They were not intimidated by this person and his family’s connections. Before I hired Adam the prosecutor suggested 90 days in jail. Adam was able to close the case in like 3 weeks with NO JAIL TIME. They will also get this taken off my record in time. There is a reason he is a 5-star Columbus attorney and he also drove over 2 hours to represent me. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have had this amazing firm represent me.

Top Constitutional Attorney

Adam Burke is very knowledgeable of the law. After reviewing the police video dash cam in my F2 possession case, Same found 4 violations in the search. Instead of a best prosecution offer of 4.5 years prison, After a motion to suppress, the State came down to 8 years with probation. No automatic j...ail time. I would rather have my future in my hands than the States!
