This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The opinion expressed herein is my own personal opinion. I would not use or recommend Adam Gynac.

It is from my own personal experience and therefore my own personal opinion in working with Adam Gynac that he is unprofessional, unfair, and in my particular situation made me very emotional to the point of tears. I bared my soul to him on the phone, on emails w valid proof from other professionals... and in person as to how manipulative my ex was, only to be “eye rolled” back by him when describing my pain. I honestly do feel he is a narcissist, a complete male chauvinist and quite down right rude. I would never personally recommend him to anyone. Also, I feel he did not have both of my children’s best interest at heart. As a female, I truly felt completely discriminated against.

Adam is excellent

Adam has been my family law attorney for about 2 years. He recently helped me gain sole legal custody of my children and residential parent, several years after a bad settlement the first time around. What great about him is he actually listens. He will tell you the truth and what he can and cannot... do for you. He's a great communicator and he ALWAYS followed up with me. He returned my emails in a timely manner and when he went to court on my case the same day or next day I'd receive an update email. Unlike my 1st attorney who I felt didn't care about my case, Adam never let me down, he remembered the details of my case and it showed time and time again. Setting expectations and having good communication is so important for easing your nerves during a court process. His office staff is really nice and efficient too. Highly recommend!!

Go Getter

Very concise in explaining what he could and couldn’t do. Took the time to listen to my concerns and address the most significant issues in a timely manner. I only had a few issues with emails, but he handled them when the secretary was out and made sure I got the paperwork. He also explained that ...there is no guarantee on how “fast” you can be divorced. There are multiple factors at play. I would hire him again and definitely recommend him!

Efficient, relatable and knowledgeable

Adam was by far the best family law attorney I've ever worked with. His knowledge of family laws and rapport with court and counsel far exceeded anything I had hoped for. My case was complex and lengthy when Adam entered yet he went above and beyond to ensure I not only understood various potential o...utcomes but also protected what was in my best interest. Not to mention his fees were extremely reasonable, and definitely worth every penny, plus more. His calm and reassuring demeanor make him one of the best attorneys, hands down.

I Would Highly Recommend Adam Gynac

If you’re reading this, maybe you need an attorney. I’m sure there are good lawyers out there, but if you’re in a situation needing legal representation you want an excellent attorney like Adam Gynac. Earlier this year, I went through a very nasty divorce. It was one of the worst times of my life.... After interviewing several lawyers, I chose Adam. He was professional and confident and I left his office with peace of mind. It was a contested case dealing with a difficult judge and ex-spouse. With his wisdom and expertise, Adam fought and successfully won a fair settlement for me. Adam always kept me informed of the status of my case promptly returning my calls or emails offering sound advice. I always knew and understood what the next step would be. As I stated earlier, Adam helped me during a very difficult time and helped me get my life back on track. All I can say is, if you ever need representation, do not go to court unless Adam Gynac is standing by your side.

"Adam is an extremely intelligent and skilled attorney. However, it is his dedication and attention to detail which really sets him apart from the rest. He has a passion for the law which is evident by both the stellar reputation he has earned in his practice and his experience teaching as an adjunct professor at Rasmussen College. I highly recommend Adam in the area of family law, and I have the utmost confidence that any client of his will be in very good hands."
