I got into some trouble while at the University of Iowa and used Adam Pollack as my lawyer. He insisted we fight the case and we ended up winning! I was out of trouble and nothing would be on my record. Adam was great in dealing with my case, always kept me informed, and all together knew what he was doing. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.
I had a minor problem and i lived out of state (in KS). I did not want to keep coming back to deal with it myself. So I hired Adam. He is very professional and keeps on top of the problem, the dates, etc. He was so accommodating that I really felt that I did not have to do anything. I honestly cannot say enough good things about the service he provided me. He made me feel like really cared about my issue and that I was important. In the end, the outcome was extremely favorable. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you do not call Adam and talk to him. He will be straight up and honest. No smoke-blowing here.
Adam has been practicing law since 1998, when he graduated with a juris doctorate degree with high distinction from the University of Iowa College of Law. He is a former prosecutor for Johnson County, Iowa and his practice primarily focuses on criminal defense.

Review for Adam Pollack
In my experience, Adam is a passionate, knowledgeable, and driven lawyer that strives to bring the best possbile outcome to his clients. He is candid, easy to reach, and communicates with your frequently throughout each step of the legal process. He works side by side with you on all facets of your case and works tirelessly to deliver the best outcome for his clients. Adam was able to write motions in support of my defense and provide a clear plan of action. When my financial situation changed he recommended another attorney, while he continued to assist him in my trial defense. All charges were dismissed. I would recommend anyone needing a lawyer to contact Adam to see if he can assist with your legal needs.

Excellent Attorney
Adam provided free consultation for me on my case for multiple misdemeanors that occurred at the same incident and on the same case. He laid out the process for expungement and the problems associated with my particular case. I decided to hire Adam and he successfully was able to argue for the Magistrate to expunge two of the three misdemeanors. Adam then appealed the third misdemeanor to the District court and that judge ruled in favor of expungement. Throughout the process Adam keep me up to date on our progress and asked for my opinion at every step of the way. In the end, Adam made several persuasive arguments that the court agreed with and the most persuasive argument was developed through Adam's understanding of expungement law. Not every case can be won, but if I had to recommend anyone to legally represent them, I would absolutely recommend Attny Adam Pollack.

Highly Recommend - OWI Representation
Adam represented me on a recent OWI charge after I found him via a Google search and I definitely made the right decision to utilize his services. Adam was able to get my case dropped by both the state and the DOT thereby allowing me to keep my driver's license. Adam kept me well informed and was persistent in his pursuit of the county prosecuting attorney addressing my case. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Hire Adam.
Adam is great. He went above and beyond for me. Very professional and knows a lot with the law. One thing that sets him apart from all the other attorneys I have researched was his timeliness. I contacted Adam one morning and he got right back to me that morning. He also keeps you up to date like he says he will. I would 100% recommend his services.

Domestic abuse serious misdemeanor
Adam Pollack is a fantastic and professional attorney who knows how to navigate with you through your case paying attention to every and all details. Having a charge of domestic abuse assault can be so daunting because of it's short and long-term consequences. Adam Pollack is the best one in our state when it comes to this kind of defense. Adam was very active from the first day I consulted him freely and when I hired him I never had to call him because he kept me informed and updated of everything related to my case, he knows when to slow down or speed up the process of the case based on the given facts and evidence and when and how to negotiate deals with the prosecutor. I was planning to go to a very costly trial to get back my clean record if my case is not reduced to a lesser charge but Adam Pollack fought my case aggressively and got my case completely dismissed before entering a plea deal or going to trial. I'm greatful and thankful to him because he basically gave me my life back with a clean record.

Unparalleled
From the beginning, I found Adam to be straight forward with his assessment of my case. His experience as a prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer provided an unparalleled strategic advantage against the state. He was thorough and tenacious with requesting and reviewing all of the state’s evidence. He kept me informed every step of the way, through multiple forms of communication. Adam was unforgiving when cross examining the state’s witnesses during my suppression hearing. During which, he illustrated how the state grossly errored with the exertion of their authority when detaining, and eventually arresting, me. The end result, Adam successfully suppressed my case and the state dismissed it. Adam is a legal force to be reckoned with and I would highly recommend him to defend you.

Criminal/Possession
While traveling from TN to IA I was stoppped for speeding and was arrested for possession of marijuana & paraphernalia. Mr Pollack put my terrified self at ease with his expert knowledge of the system and I trusted him immediately. He was very prompt with information and with his handling of my case. I returned to TN and let him handle everything in IA for me. The outcome was better than I expected. I would highly recommend Mr Pollack if you have a criminal case. I can’t stress that enough.

Feedback on Attorney Adam Pollack
I had the opportunity to hire Mr Pollack for some legal issue that we had in Iowa. Mr Pollack's style and sheer knowledge on developing a strategy to manage through the court proceedings, exceeded my expectations. I was very fortunate to have Mr Pollack representing our family. I would encourage anyone to contact Attorney Pollack before you settle for other legal representation.

Great Attorney
I chose to use Adam out of the three attorneys I meet with on my case. Adam was straight forward and had great attention to detail. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case when he was able to get all charges dropped with the City and DOT. He kept me updated on the case. I appreciate everything he did for me.

We Trust Adam Implicitly
My daughter got involved is a rather complicated, convoluted case. Adam's tenacity and experience shepherded her through the labyrinth of legalese and options. He was extremely quick at returning calls and emails, and great at keeping us informed of the latest curve ball thrown at us. He has a good reputation--and it is well deserved.

Adam Pollack review
I have hired Adam on two different occasions and both times he has done everything he could to get me the best deal. When I was charged with my second serious misdemeanor, I was looking at very large fines, losing my deferred judgement, and possible jail time. Adam got it dropped to a simple misdemeanor so I could keep my deferred judgment and not have to do jail time. He also saved me about $1,400. What I appreciated about Adam was he always called me when something new came up or changed - he kept me in the know at all times. I am grateful for all the work Adam has done for me and would recommend him to anyone.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I've been an attorney for 25 years. I have observed many, many lawyers, and perhaps one percent of them give the kind of attention and concern for a case as does Mr. Pollack. It is my observation that when he takes a case, he is far more concerned with making sure that he has thoroughly prepared the case and advised the client fully, without concern to the amount of time that requires. I can say with confidence that if you are looking for a defense attorney who will consider your case fully and not simply try to settle out without actually examining the merits of the case to determine whether a plea agreement is best or trial is best, then Mr. Pollack is the kind of attorney you want to hire."
