Amazing experience! Great business lawyer!

Great business lawyer! Helped me a ton with business contracts and business related lawyer advice. Was pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended!

Helpful Advice!

Adam has helped me twice - once with real estate documents and more recently with small business advice. He takes the time to explain legal concepts in more common terminology. If you are looking to consult with a kind, helpful attorney, then reach out to Adam!

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.

Connected, competent and successful

A couple of years ago, Adam had helped me with a landlord dispute. When I had a difficult case come before the court recently, I turned again to Adam. As we entered the courthouse, Adam went and conferred with the opposing lawyer and the judge. Adam got the case dismissed. The judge told me that I ha...d a dodged a bullet. I am extremely thankful for the work Adam did for me that day.

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.
