I love Adam!!!

Adam made me feel like he really cared about me and my case. He worked very hard, was honest with me about my case, and got back to me quickly when I had questions. I would recommend him to anyone needing a top notch attorney!

Great lawyer, love his staff!

Mr. Squiller represented me in a very emotional, terrifying case where I was falsely accused of doing horrible things. He remained calm and patient at all times even though I was a mess. Through his tireless efforts and tenacity, my case was eventually dismissed. I feel that he genuinely cares about his clients, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs the best. His staff, especially his paralegal Katie, is awesome. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful at all times.

Helped me through a nightmare

Without getting into details, my criminal case was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. Mr. Squiller was extremely kind, caring and patient. He fought to get me the best result, and I will be forever grateful for his hard work. He is the best!!

You get what you pay for!

Adam is knowledgable and honest about how he sees things. If he thinks somethings isn't going to work out for the best for you he's lets you know upfront. We've been so pleased with the progress of our case. Would definitely hire him again.

Best lawyer around

Adam is just exceptional. He explained the options in my case clearly and directly, and fought for me to get me the best result. Also, his staff was professional and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone.

We would hire him again..

Mr. Squiller is an excellent attorney, but first he is a wonderful person. My husband and I spoke with dozens of attorneys, none of which would give us the time of day. We told Mr. Squiller our story and that win or lose, we wanted to try to take our case to court. He was honest with us about our low chances of winning our case, but worked with us to guarantee the best representation. I was sometimes confused by the lack of communication within the office, but it never affected our case. I would highly recommend Mr. Squiller to anyone, just be willing to call or e-mail if you aren't seeing anything in your mailbox. :D

Nothing but good to say about Adam.

Adam and his staff did excellent work for me, both personal and professional. They were knowledgeable and not afraid to say they needed to check on something, if they were not completely familiar with a topic. I felt that they responded promptly, even with time constraints in place. But at no time did I feel that impeded the quality of the counsel or advise received. They were considerate of my desires and needs, and good at divining the difference at times that those might have been detrimental to myself or my case. I would not hesitate for a second on seeking advise again, no matter the subject matter of the case.

Best lawyer around!

Adam helped me get custody of my kids. It was a very ugly case, and he was the perfect mix of compassion, legal knowledge and skilled in the courtroom. I'm very grateful for his help and would recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

Fights for his clients

I was falsely accused in Noble County, IN of criminal charges. Mr. Squiller was willing to fight for me, and took the case to a jury trial. He did an excellent job and I was found not guilty. Mr. Squiller also was very clear and direct when he talked to me about the case. I am so grateful to have a lawyer like him. I recommend him to everyone I talk to who needs an attorney.

Great criminal defense lawyer

Did an awesome job on a DUI case for me. I've had a few lawyers over the years, but Adam fought the hardest and got the best result. Anyone who finds themselves in trouble should go see him.
