Exceeded expectations

From the initial consultation to the finial hearing, Mr Adams did a stellar job. He is kind, caring, honest and smart. He and his team were impeccably professional and dedicated. I always felt valued and respected as a client and he got great results for me in the end.

Best Lawyer Hands down!

I've used Jay for years. I think he is a fantastic attorney and his paralegal Rachel is awesome! They worked hard on my custody battle for my 2 grandkids which we won hands down with prejudice ( which means they can't ever file to get them back) no set visitation rights for the Mother and my son was ...just a boy of 14 so he wasn't even old enough to have any rights anyway. He represented me on other traffic violations and got it reduced down to hardly anything at all. Yes he is busy because HE'S THAT GOOD! And in such high demand. He always got back to me and I even have his personal cellphone number to reach him when I was told to call him. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. He also has always answered legal questions I've shot his way on numerous occasions and has referred me to the correct attorneys who cover the situation if it was something he didn't do. People with bad reviews obviously haven't ever had to hire any other lawyers before

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.
