Very experienced with Title IX

Adam Sheppard did an excellent job for my son who was going through a Title IX disciplinary hearing in college in which the system is stacked against those who are accused of sexual misconduct. Adam is communicative and easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and experienced. Most of all he was extremel...y effective in preparing my son for the hearing and the case had a very favorable outcome. What meant the most to me is that Adam was on top of everything, kept me in the loop, and made my son feel confident, sane and respected through a very stressful time. He helped us understand everything and gave us perspective. I highly recommend him.

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.
