Tina Adams - friendly and knowledgeable

Tina Adams and her staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I was very nervous about filing for Chapter 7 and Tina eased my anxiety and made the process very easy to get through.

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

Posted by anonymous | August 20, 2014 | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

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 f...ee's. I highly recommend this attorney.

Avvo Rating

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.
