10/10 Across The Board!!
Adam Pollack was my attorney of choice after I was arrested for a drug offence last year in Linn County IA. Despite being arrested 6 weeks earlier in Dallas County IA on a separate drug offence, he was able to negotiate me what was to be my 3rd deferred judgment which lead to me actually getting my c...

Great Attorney
Adam Pollack was my attorney and I was extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case. He advised me of the best choices for my situation and was in constant contact with me to keep me updated about the case. He truly cared about what happened during the case and to me and it showed in the time he s...

Rude and in considerate, regret hiring him
Gave this lawyer multiple reasons why this case should've went to trial, he threw down every single one of them. I forwarded the police reports and what Adam sent me to other lawyers for a second review, they said it should've went to trial. And would've charged me $1500 initially and $3000, for tria...

With 6 months to go on 2 yr dl revocation , I get a mile down the road and pulled over by a deputy I don't know because he thought he recognized me. Boom! Now I'm looking at up to a year in jail,...

Great Lawyer!
My son ran into some problems while at University of Iowa. It was frustrating not being able to help him since we live in Chicago. I called Adam and he got involved right away. He reviewed every aspect of the charges and explained how we can fight them. Adam kept us informed throughout the whole proc...
"I have worked with and for Mr. Pollack on various criminal-defense matters over the years, and I can say unequivocally that Adam is a terrific lawyer who knows how to navigate the legal system to bring about the best outcomes for his clients. He's a high-quality person who will fight tooth-and-nail to make sure his clients' rights and interests are fully protected."
"Adam helped me with a traffic-related issue in the Iowa City District Court. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He is a great lawyer and a pleasure to deal with."
"I have called Mr. Pollack on multiple occasions to discuss criminal law issues. He is prompt in responding to inquiries and is very knowledgeable on all matters I discussed with him."
"Adam has a great "track record" and will do his utmost for the best result possible. I highly recommend him."
"Adam represented a personal injury client of mine in a complicated multi-tiered criminal case. He did a fantastic job in all aspects of his representation. I highly recommend him."
"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."
"Adam Pollack is a great lawyer who is willing to go the extra mile for his clients. Adam is interested in researching the law and making sure his clients get the best outcome possible."
