Perfect results

Mr. Adkins was both kind and knowledgable. We ended the case even better than I had dared hope. I absolutely would recommend him to anyone in need of a Lawyer.

Great guy and super professional!

I was stopped for speeding and ended up getting arrested for a DWI. I hired Jay to defend me. After the court process, my DWI was dropped to only a speeding ticket. Jay did an excellent job! I would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

Jay is a great lawyer.

Jay is a great lawyer. I’ve acquired his services recently and was thoroughly satisfied. I will mention, I believe, we resolved the case with the one of the best possible outcomes. I acquired his services online and all of that was relatively easy. I had a case in southern Minnesota. Myself coming fr...om minneapolis he was very accommodating. I feel I was not a very needy client. In saying that, I still feel he made him self very available. There were a couple of times I contacted him on off hours and he responded anyways. I only contacted him through phone and email until my court date and felt comfortable with our interactions. Jay always made me feel he had my best interests in mind. When I asked the probability of success I felt he was very truthful with me. I felt 50% chance and Jay felt we had a 30% chance to win. I appreciate his honesty. I feel Jay was worth the expense. He worked several avenues to try and get our case to come out in our favor.

Jay Stuart Adkins

My attorney represented me in all aspects of my case. Pretrial, discovery, and negotiated a plea agreement. I am satisfied with his performance and feel that he was genuine in his zeal and dedicated in his pursuit of defending me to his best ability. My personal opinion is that he (my attorney) went... above and beyond the normal responsibilities for the case. He was responsive to my questions, was available to me via phone and email and I know that he had to make many calls, emails and court appearances with the prosecutor to get this case resolved. I give my highest recommendation for his work, and would highly recommend him in the future to any one facing the American Judicial system in Olmsted County.

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.
