Client & Colleague

You will not meet a better attorney than Jay Adams. He is honest, up front and gets the job done every time. He is direct to the point and very straight forward. I have referred him to many many people. He ALWAYS does a stellar job. No he might not return every single call but that's because he's ...working. to win your case. He will call when there is an update. He is super busy but takes the time to work every case as if it were his own. He CARES and that's not easy to find. He is my attorney for life and if you need an attorney it would be in your best interest to call Jay at CiceroAdams.

A client for over 30 years

Pat hands down Jay Adams is the best attorney I have ever dealt with. He doesn't lie he tells it like it is he's very open about your case to you letting you know what to expect. I have used him over 30 years it started out with a divorce and child support and whatever bull my ex-husband tried to pul...l Jay fixed it 100%. I have had two of my sisters go to him as well as two friends and one guy for a divorce that was in the military and honestly I can't tell you what else. Jay Adams is worth every penny he charges and whether he likes it or not he is my attorney for life. Thank you Jay for everything you've ever done for me my family or anybody I recommended you to you're awesome......Mindy Harrison you know the one that was married to a Green county deputy I don't have to say any names you know exactly who I'm talking about LOL. I am getting ready to use another lawyer and his office who I haven't used yet but if she works for Jay I know she's okay I look forward to meeting Melissa

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.
