Not trustworthy

Does not return telephone calls. Neither does his paralegal. Does not keep you updated on your case. Did not get anything accomplished that he promised. He did not earn the money that I paid him in full. I would discourage you from hiring him, he makes a lot of promises at first and then you won't he...ar from him.

Worthless Attorney

In the beginning he was all fired up about my case, said it was a simple case, should take about a month....9 months later, I had my final hearing. Paid this man $2500.00 up front and the days I was required to go to court, all he did was sit back and let her side dictate what was going to happen. He... never kept me informed on anything that was going on and was impossible to reach and terrible at returning my calls. He acted like I was an idiot for calling and bothering him and his paralegal was just as rude. I've been waiting 3 months for my decree and his return phone call as to why I don't have it yet. Don't waste your time, money or energy on this lawyer because all you will get in return is frustrated.

Untrustworthy

I hired this attorney two to three years ago for a custody matter. He agreed to full custody case which included establishment of parenting time and the custody case itself. He allowed the defendants lawyer to establish parenting time with no rebuttal stating that we would focus on custody. Even whe...n the parenting time was not adhered to, he didn't fill charges. He was never prepared, never talked to any witnesses that I listed, hardly ever returned phone calls. After the establishment of parenting time, I decided that this attorney was not equipped to handle our represent my best interest. I paid 3500 up front for the entire two part process. He has not given the custody monies back after he was let go. He has not responded. Although he knows he did not completed any work on the custody hearing. Do not pay this attorney up front. Not an honest person with good work ethics.

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.
