Posted by anonymous | June 01, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

She managed to force a judge to drop charges his friend put in place

Because of the profile of the case, I can't discuss too many details; but I want to say this. WIth Adele being the fourth or fifth attorney on a case that had over 3 different judges, in a severely corrupt (and verifiably so) city, I was starting to feel like my families life could literally be over ...at the hands of prosecution. Previous attorneys had lied to support the prosecution's purpose, and forces my wife and I to make declarations under duress while threatening us with petty violence like having a mugger take our money and "accidentally muting" microphones when we asked for discovery of these court sessions. Eventually, like i mentioned, we hired Adele. She actually disproved several of the false charges and got them dropped, she counseled my wife and I and explained that we hadn't done anything wrong besides let them control us and be immature (and proceeded to offer sound advice on how to be more presentable regardless of the situation) and even though the outcome wasn't the one we wanted, I know for a fact my life was made much better because of my interactions with Adele. I still consider advise she gave for some situations I encounter, even though its been several years since we last spoke. I've never met a more honest and integral person.

ADELE IS AMAZING!!!!!

What an amazing woman!!! My ex-husband had the "best lawyer" representing him and I had NONE! I lost because I had no idea what I was doing... Then I hired Adele!!! She not only helped me win, turned the whole case upsidedown ~ so much that my ex had all kinds of restrictions placed on HIM ~ as it sh...ould be! He was not allowed to drink 24 hours prior to (very limited daytime) visitation nor during their visit & much more. I'm sure it killed him when Adele's brilliance led the judge to state he believed he'd made a "terrible mistake"! TOTALLY unheard of! Today I still consider her one of my best friends and one smart cookie! I love you Adele and wish nothing but the best for you!!! If you're dealing with a scumbag, Adele's your girl!

  • 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.
