About Adam
Biography
Dear Prospective Client,
I hope you contact me and give me the opportunity to represent you. I have been practicing law in Illinois since 1978. As a prosecutor, criminal and DUI defense lawyer, and family law advocate, I have tried or settled over 1000 matters. I not only try cases, but I teach law courses as well. I also consult with and advise other lawyers about their matters and issues. In 2015, I became certified as a Mediator, taking a 40 hour program to achieve this goal. I have now started my own mediation practice under Common Solutions Mediation, inviting parties to resolve their matters before expensive litigation. Call me with your problem, I'm sure I can help.

Replied last July 07, 2016Occasionally, clients become disgruntled when they can't see the result going their way. They often lack a sufficient degree of understanding and knowledge to make an informed decision. I strive to explain all my recommendations in great depth. I understand some people become frustrated with my advice, but I have over 37 years of experience handling all types of cases. Furthermore, I am asked by other attorneys, on ways to analyze and handle those cases where they represent people and are seeking my advice. I try very hard to accomplish good results. I believe my clients do appreciate my work. I also understand that if things don't go your way, you might blame your advocate. I sincerely will do my best to handle your case.
