DO NOT TRUST THIS LAWYER WITH ANY PERSONAL MONEY!

He was assigned by the court and is withholding almost 5k of money that was deposited to my account by my family and now is much needed to someone that was taken away from everything else. He does not answer any calls and does not care if i am living in the streets at this point. DO NOT TRUST HIM WI...TH ANY PERSONAL MONEY!

DO NOT HIRE!

AMBULANCE CHASER This person took my $250 retainer and never went on record as my attorney! He told me he was waiting on my Discovery. You can’t get a Discoveryfrom the Court if you’re not on record as a person’s attorney!

Great Criminal and Trial Lawyer

Adam is a very well known prominent attorney. I would definitely want him on my side not the defense. Great person to work with, fair prices but most of all, he likes to win. I would and have recommended him to many friends and family. Best of the Best a great choice in my book. Never lost a case for... me or my family and friends.

Criminal defense case, 6 felonies first offense, reduced and pled to one misdemeanor.

I hired Adam for representation and could not be happier. Adam has been upfront and direct with me about possible outcomes but never stopped working for the best possible outcome. He helped me get reduction in 6 felony charges fraud, theft and drug related charges. I was fearful of the worst, but Ad...am gave me hope when times were tough. His communication skills helped ease me and my family while be worked out my plea deal. i can not say enough good things. If you have a high profile case or even a speeding ticket I would recommend Adams services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
