Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Akron

I hired Paul two years ago to represent my husband who was sentenced to 23 years for a drug deal that went bad. I knew there was some injustice regarding oversentencing him. Paul reviewed my case and was very honest and open right from the start! He will not take on a case if he don't feel you can ge...t some sort of relief. Paul has went to the ends of the earth for my husband and did the best he could for him. Our relief in my husbands case got him back into the courts for at least a limited hearing in regards to possibly coming home sooner vs the year 2030. So that right there should tell you about Paul! I HIGHLY recommend this man! He is a blessing!!!!

Outstanding Attorney and Person

Mr. Adamson is someone you can trust to have your best interest at heart always. Paul's experience, reputation and his relationships are tremendous. He is well respected within judicial circles. THAT MEANS A LOT AS A DEFENSE ATTORNEY! i trusted Paul explicitly and you should also.

A very nice, compassionate, fair, smart and the best defense attorney

I have known Atty. Adamson for 18 years, from young adult mischief to getting me out of trouble for things I didn't do. As far as didn't do; I was being framed for being a stalker by a schizophrenic woman who was un-medicated, used her condition when it worked for her, then denied treatment when it ...is obvious to everyone that just observes her that she's very unstable. I called children's services on her, she was an old friends wife, he was not a knowledgeable person, he is an alcoholic, as was she. I called her out to him about the alcohol, he denied the problem; a month later she was in re-hab, then the psychiatric ward, diagnosed with the same diagnoses she had for over 10 years. She then started using drugs, having a bad reaction to marijuana and xanax, she was taken to the Emergency room. When it was found she was positive for both drugs, she denied and lied about it, claiming she had a seizure. Being a good friend, and having medical knowledge, besides the fact my old friend was missing so much work because of her crashes, I took her to her follow up appointment. Again, referred to psychiatric services, based upon what the doctor observed. She went into a downward spiral, she had already lost a job at a daycare center for shaking her own kid. So, one night after she was totally irrational, in a psychotic break, scaring not only her children, but others too, I called and reported her. So she set out for vengeance. She and her husband harassed me for almost a year, junk mail, spam, (which was traced back to them), severe vandalism and when I finally had enough and sent a snarky e-mail, (at least I had the guts to say who I was, not hide behind proxy servers and forged headers), and also telling her I knew of all her alias' and she needed to end that. She and others would get in a lot of trouble for that. They made a litany of lies about me and in a small bedroom community that they lived in, (I know this to be fact, I served on a jury for the same community that made it to county court) that they will arrest any type of case like that, it's policy so the city avoids litigation against REAL cases if something happens. Atty. Adamson and the prosecutor as well as the judge saw that none of their statements made sense, but because of their irrationality, we decided to throw them a bone and hope they would go away. I pled to a disorderly conduct charge for the snarky letter, however, if you remember the famous "Beer Summit," the whole point was that the Professor claimed he was drawn outside, which is the definition of disorderly conduct, not a snarky e-mail, it really wasn't a charge that was even applicable. But he got the prosecutor and judge on my side. The people have been stalking me for years, internet trolling, injecting themselves into my life when it's none of their business, just to try and make me look bad. Of course, they're convinced they're being stalked, but it's a phenomenon that happens and if they happen to read this, it's not my job to explain how they can lie their way out of a situation the next time. Atty. Adamson really cared that I didn't get that charge, he did the work pro-bono. That's a great guy, he's helped me in many cases and always gets the best out of the situation and wins trials. The Best!
