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.

DUI

As international student, my studies in the United States were at stake until I met Jay Adkins who proved to me otherwise. Having little to zero knowledge about DUI, Jay demonstrated great skills of how much he apprehends DUIs by clearly clarifying to me and my family the procedure on what to do next... or what to expect. Jay was amazing job in communicating, via email and phone calls, every detail that was relevant to my case. At the few times we met in court, Jay was professional, knowledgeable and always prepared. Will I recommend him to someone else? ABSOLUTELY.

Another Win for Adkins

Jay Adkins is a winner. With my history, I needed someone who was going to go war for me and he did just that. The charges against me were dropped and the prosecutor against me pulled me aside to tell me just how good of an attorney I had hired. If you need someone on your side who will put you f...irst and give you 110% call Jay Adkins.

Excellent DWI Attorney

Jay Adkins is an excellent DWI Attorney. He defended my case with the utmost confidence and brought my DWI charges down to what I consider the best possible result.

Particularly when it comes to DWI defense, Jay is at the cutting edge of the legal and scientific developments that give his clients chances that few others lawyers can. Beyond that, he works hard and cares deeply about his clients and their cases. You won't go wrong choosing Jay."

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.
