not a happy camper

Like the other reviewers I hired jay adams, but actually got a junior attorney named grant. My case dragged on for several years and at the end of the day i got the same plea deal that was offered originally. It appears to me that adams was just running up billable hours. Also getting a hold of eithe...r adams or grant was next to impossible. Additonally it struck me that adams was all together too friendly & cooperative with the prosecutors and police. In my opinion I was not provided an adequate defense by adams.

A VERY SORRY LAWYER

I WOULD SUGGEST FINDING A DIFFERENT ATTORNEY BECAUSE I NEVER MET JAY ADAMS ONLY GRANT AND CHARGED ME A ARM AND A LEG AND NEVER EVEN FILED. SURE DID TAKE THE MONEY OUT IN A HEART BEAT BUT TOOK ALMOST 2 MONTHS TO GET IT BACK AND HAD TO BEG FOR A RECEIPT AND CHARGED ME FOR ASKING FOR THAT. THIS WAS A D...IVORCE CASE THAT ME AND MY HUSBAND WORKED OUT AND SURE DIDNT NEED THIS. I SUGGEST YOU FIND ANOTHER ATTORNEY JAY ADAMS IS NOT THE ONE.

Lots of promises

This lawyer was retained to represent me for a DUI that was questionable. During the run up to trial I was told we would win, that there was no question about it. After several rulings went against us (after the initial meetings, I was sloughed off to his associate, Grant) I was "encouraged" to ple...ad guilty and accept an arranged plea. I agreed and then proceeded to receive the maximum sentence (there were no injuries or property damages). Adams agreed to appeal the case at no cost and after a year of waiting and half hearted excuses the appeal his associate had prepared was denied. The old bait and switch at its best. Don't waste your time and money.
