Thee Absolute Best!

Adam J is everything you’d dream of in a lawyer and then some. From the moment he takes your case you know he’s doing his due diligence to get the best possible outcome for you. I’d email Adam when fleeting thoughts or questions would hit me in the evenings or weekends not expecting to hear back unti...l the next business day then BOOM there he was with a reply. He works relentlessly. I was hesitant paying the one time fee up front because you wonder if lawyers will work hard enough for you after being paid in full. Boy was I wrong! I will forever feel indebted to Adam for getting my Felony charge dismissed. If you’re looking for a criminal attorney, look no further. Adam is the best you will EVER get and you’d be lucky to have him.

Highly intelligent

Met Adam Justinger through a line of recommendations that started from my business accountants recommendation for Adam Wogsland at SW&L to become my business attorney. From there, after years of great service. I was then recommended to Adam Justinger for something unrelated. He became my criminal def...ense Attorny for an attempted wrongful conviction. Mr. Justinger stoped that in its tracks, without any leverage from the judge or prosecutor. This case in my opinion was specifically in line with a direct dereliction of duty and illegal actions taken by the police officers involved with the citations that were issued. One state trooper specifically, Officer Cory Formaneck who again, in my opinion abused the legal obligations and power he was given as a state highway patrol officer in an effort to convict me, no matter how many laws he broke in the process. Again this is of course all in my opinion. However, Adam Justinger stuck by my side even when I had lost all hope and started to sincerely believe that the whole system was corrupt. If an officer said it happened; other officers on scene, prosecutor and even the judge would then likely believe it to be legitimate. I felt very alone in a field of individuals out to take the rest of my life as I knew it away from me for a crime that I did not commit. However he also made it clear that he has no qualms with police officers and that he believes the majority or them are great individuals and it is unlikely that they would be corrupt in his opinion, I think by the end of this. The facts and evidence may have changed his option of at least one of the officers involved. Regardless, at the same time he wasn’t certain of officer F’s legitimate falsification and tampering of evidence at that time (again in my opinion) he was motivated to find out and very supportive. Beyond a basic feeling of obligation by an Attorny to support his client. He really genuinely seemed to care and no matter the time of day, he would always get back to me in short time by email. Either himself or his paralegal Lindsey Anderson made all the facts, good and bad clear without any question as to any of their meaning or relevance, so I wasn’t confused throughout. But also without giving me false hope as well. Helping to prepare me just in case the system pulled another string or curve ball in their favor that we couldn’t anticipate. This was one of the most complicated cases I had ever imagined could possibly have even came about in this area we live in more or less read about or seen in the news. The obstacles set in front of us were made of great quantity, heavy in sent inertia and much proportion. Yet Adam worked diligently to find any possible legal and factual basis to present to the judge on several occasions to dismiss, not budging these were then presented to a jury trial for which I shouldn’t be found guilty. All of it was beyond what I had conceived the possible lengths could have amounted to in doing so. The intricacy of fine details as small as they were; were building blocks none the less. Eventually making a small staircase to walk myself out of the hole I was in. I didn’t/couldn’t fully see how all the puzzle pieces would come together properly until the day of trial. The outcome was nothing short of saving my life. The jury came back as innocent of both charges waged against me. Not only was he able to restore my faith in the legal system, he also found a way to make it known loud and clear while in court in front of everyone, this officers (in my opinion) criminal acts he committed lying under oath, falsifying evidence, and so much more that he conspired to use and false accusations he used to try and destroy my reputation, my livelihood, credit, savings, basically my life as I knew it. The list goes on and on, I will never be able to recommend anyone more highly than Adam Justinger for criminal defense. He saved my life
