Starting a nonprofit business

Adam Woodford was excellent to work with when I started my nonprofit/ 501 c3. This was my first experience with developing a nonprofit and I wanted to be certain I was meeting all government guidelines. Adam was detailed and thorough, from beginning to end, and so patient with all my questions.

Superior, better than expected attorney

I first met Adam because of a dispute I was having. He knew the attorney on the other side, someone that I was having the dispute with wouldn't identify. He mitigated the ascending dispute and negotiated a quite fair agreement. Due to the other party's actions, Adam is now working on a new level f...or us, and he is Always in contact. Very communicative and informative. He tells it like it *is*, which so far has always been good news. I would recommend him to anyone who has a problem that's up his alley, and even not, he'd be able to put you(me) in contact.

Impressive Landlord-Tenant Attorney

I was referred to J. Adam Woodford by another attorney. He represented me in a landlord-tenant dispute and delivered impressive results. Adam is a trustworthy, realistic advocate. Throughout my negotiation Adam was very knowledgeable and listened to my concerns. I would refer any of my friends or fa...mily to him and I am planning on contacting him for future legal business representation.

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.
