Tina was just awesome to deal with. She always promptly returned my calls, texts and emails. She was also very accessible to give me updates on how things were proceeding.

I got my life back.... Thanks Tina!!!
Christine (Tina) Adams is not just a BK attorney she feels like family. Every since I began working with Tina she has made this process feel more than just a case number but more of a personal situation. Its amazing how she remembers not just your name but things about your family as well. I was terrified about the entire process but working with the Robert J Adams family especially Tina and Michael made things go smooth as butter. If Life throws you a curve ball, I suggest working with a friend (attorney) like Christine (Tina) Adams!! Thanks for giving me my life back.

Tina Adams - friendly and knowledgeable

Good bankruptcy Experience unheard of Right.
This is my type of attorney quick to the point, good looking and relatively cheap. I filed a chapter 7 through Ms. Adams office and it was simple took only about an hour in here office to get everything done. Only had to actually see her twice, and best of all she does payment plans for attorneys fee's. I highly recommend this attorney.

Great Experience with this Lawyer
Great experience with this attorney. She handled my chapter 7 bankruptcy case. It was affordable and a very quick 4 month process I highly recommend her. If I needed a bankruptcy attorney in Lake County of McHenry County she is who I would call

I highly recommend Tina Adams if you are considering bankrupcy!
If you are looking to file bankrupcy definatly talk with Tina Adams. I was feeling very nervous about filing and Tina really listened, talked to me about my situation and helped me make a decision. This was 5 years ago and it was the best decision I made. I was able to have a new financial start in life and was able to "overcome" being ashamed. I learned from my past financial mistakes and have moved past them with Tina's help. I have recommended her to everyone that I have found to be in my situation. Thank you Tina for helping my family out

Outstanding Bankruptcy Attorney in Lake and Cook Counties
I have several clients that I have referred to Tina and I had her represent me as well. I had an issue with a failed business and an IRS lien. Ultimately, I was able to save my home and deal with my insurmountable debt load. She is very knowledgeable and attentive. She always gives an unsurpassed level of professionalism and I trust her completely! She has handled cases for several of my family members as well and everyone I have ever sent her is happy with her results.

Awesome Experiance

Robert has been detailed, attentive and very thorough.Tina and Robert has gone beyond the scope of normal attorneys and has shown compassionate and caring for individuals by taking the time and having the patience to really explain the processes. His staff is excellent and is always willing to help. There fees are reasonable and I feel like a received more then I paid. If you are in need of a bankruptcy attorney, you must call Robert J.

Closing
While searching for an attorney to do the closing for my home I found Christine Adams. While I was anxious purchasing a new home, Christine helped to lessen my worries. She was readily available to answer the many questions I had, her knowledge in the field is amazing. On the date of the closing she met with me early to be certain that all my questions were answered. I have recommended Christine Adams to my family and friends, all of which have stated they shared that same positive experience that I had. In the future should I find myself in need of an attorney I would definitely call Christine Adams.

Very Thoughtful Attorney
I came to Robert J. Adams & Associates about four years ago because my paycheck was garnished. Ms. Adams was very thoughtful and understanding to my financial needs. She was friendly and very courtesy. She took the time out to explain to me the different chapters of bankruptcy and made sure that I understood them. I really felt embarrassed and ashamed about my situation but Ms. Adams assured me that everything would be fine. I would highly recommend Christine B. Adams of Robert J. Adams & Associates to all family, close friends and coworkers.

Tina is a great attorney
Many years ago I found myself divorced and single mother. Although I really tried to make ends meet, I just keep falling behind with my bills. Before going to Robert J. Adams I I consulted with two other attorneys that I saw on TV regarding bankruptcy. As soon as I got in the door, they wanted to talk about fees and not my problems, I felt like I was being interrogated and they treated me like I did something wrong. At that time I was working two jobs and had two small children to look after and between rent, household bills and daycare I had no money to pay old credit cards and medical bills. I found Robert through a close friend of mine. It was like I struck gold, as Robert is not on TV. After consulting with Robert for one minute, I knew that he was the right attorney for me and my family. His staff was so welcoming, Robert’s experience and knowledge provided me with a level of comfort that the other attorneys did not. When my case got complicated and the credit card company filed an adversary, Robert took them to trial, and after 2 days, he won the case. That was over 12 years ago. Recently I had medical problems and after insurance, I still owed the hospital thousands of dollars. After two years of trying to negotiate with the collection companies, I call Robert. He again filed my cases and my life got instantly better. This time I got the opportunity to work with Tina, Robert's daughter and I also wanted to give her a recommendation because she did a lot of work on my case. Like her father, Tina really cares for people. I am happy that she has followed his footsteps. I highly recommend Tina to anyone considering bankruptcy. She is ready to go the extra mile

If you're looking for an exceptional lawyer, look no further!
Absolute top notch attorney in every respect. Tina has exceptional knowledge of the law, and gets results. She's dependable; communicates expectations forthright, and most importantly knows how to win in the courtroom. She's earned my absolute trust!
Posted by Linda | July 31, 2013
The professional you need to hire in tough times!
When going thru this difficult time you need to trust the knowledge and professionalism of your attorney. I had no idea what to expect, as I never expected to be in this dramatic place. Tina is far above all of the survey questions. Trustworthy and knowledgeable are two of the best words I have for Tina! I can't thank her enough for all that she did for me during this process. Without hesitation I would recommend her to anyone going thru this. I will never forget what this firm has done for me.

Handling of Bankruptcy case
Christine was very knowledgeable and explained everything fully. I was well informed of all court dates and deadlines. Christine was not in a hurry to chase me out of her office, she took plenty of time to answer all my questions. Now a year later she still answers or returns all my calls promptly. A true and reliable professional

Christine B. Adams, as seen through the eyes of a former client.
I would just like to say that Christine B. Adams is an excellent attorney, with out standing character traits. Christine is a woman who will listen to your problem, and give you the best Legal advice possible. She is kind, caring, and understanding. Christine is trust worthy and honest. This is a rare character trait for an Attorney. It is my opinion that most attorney's do not care about the client, bottom line, their only concern is money. Christine B. Adams exceeds the scope of any of the attorney's I have had the displeasure of dealing with. And with that being said, I have dealt with many attorney's over the course of my life. Christine is extremely intelligent, and very well versed in her field of Law. I think she is super, and I would refer her to any one with out hesitation. If you are in need of an excellent attorney, I would suggest you speak to Christine B. Adams. You will be very glad that you have done so. Christine B. Adams and her staff are competent and they take that extra step to ensure they meet the needs of their clients. I give Christine B. Adams and her staff and A+, they are talented individuals, with a great sense of pride in the Legal work that they perform. They are also extremely friendly. I will say this in closing, Christine B. Adams is much more than an excellent attorney, she is a real person, with class and Elegance.

Gaining a Great reputation in Lake County for a reason!!
Tina handled my case extremely well. I had many thousands in medical bills and was very nervous about filing Bankruptcy. After walking into her office and meeting her and Michael; her paralegal, I knew I was going to hire them. I did and I am very pleased that I did so. They made me feel so comfortable with my situation. Her fees are very reasonable and they take payments with no interest!! I always get to talk to someone and my emails are answered rite away. I would HIGHLY recommend this Law Office for Bankruptcy. And BTW...the office is very easy to find and I could park rite in front of it which was important to me because sometimes its hard for me to walk far.
