The best of the best!

Adam represented me during my very complex and contentious divorce 6 years ago. He always acted in my best interest, and made sure I felt seen and heard throughout the arduous process. He went out of his way to make himself available to me, and if I had questions or concerns, he’d followed up with me... when needed. I got everything I asked for in my divorce, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. He’s fair, thoughtful and compassionate and I will continue to recommend Adam to friends and family, because I know they’ll be taken care of.

Excellent Attorney

Adam listens well and acts in good faith. He told me once that 99% or all lawyers give the 1% of lawyers a bad name. I laughed. He is right. My experience with attorneys is that they only care about the money and could honestly give a damn about your problems or the impact of those problems on yo...ur life. I was victimized first by my mentally ill ex-wife and then, eventually, by the legal system itself. Many people defend our legal system as being the best in the world . . . if my personal experience has anything to say about it then the rest of the world is in a lot of trouble. Our legal system is a mess and if a judge gets something wrong--or fails to review critical evidence in your case--then you will not be happy with the result. There are corrupt child custody evaluators that work divorce cases in Minnesota. My case featured a child custody evaluator that shouldn't be able to determine the custody of lab rats much less two beautiful children. My children are currently in grave physical danger as they are presently ingratiated to a known criminal personality that the judge (based on a recommendation of the child custody evaluator) chose to allow my children to have continued access to this person. The reality is, however, that Adam Terwey did his job and represented me to the best of his ability. I do not blame Adam for a terrible decision that was engineered by a corrupt child custody evaluator. Adam continues to watch over me and offer a variety of services beyond the scope of our original agreement. He does this because he genuinely cares about my family. Very few lawyers are willing to do this for their clients. I am grateful for Adam's representation and thankful that I have an attorney that cares about something more than just money.

Excellent Attorney

Adam handled a sensitive family matter for us. He was very competent and extremely professional. He was sensitive to the highly emotional situation and was our Hero. We felt protected legally, but cared for on an emotional level also. He fought for us when we felt very alone. Months later I cont...acted Adam with a request and he was quick to respond and offer advice. We consider him "Our" Attorney.

Client Review

Adam was very helpful and understanding of my situation. I had never been in this type of position before and Adam did a wonderful job in informing me of my options, what the processes were, and how we would go about my case. He was patient with my questions and never made me feel unimportant. With... his help my charge was reduced, I received the minimum fine, and I did not have to do any community service. Comparable to similar cases I witnessed in court the day of my sentence I received the best deal. I highly recommend his services.

Great Attorney

Adam is a great attorney. He returned my calls, explained things so that I could understand my case, answered my questions, and is trustworthy. I would hire him again.
