This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Attention to Detail and Personalization

I had to file bankruptcy case and there was no other choice for me then to go back to Adams Law group and work with them. There are many fly-by-night attorneys out there that are willing to take your money but not explain the process and personalize things to your needs- all of the attorneys as well ...as paralegals and assistants are amazing at this office and would not take my legal needs Anywhere else. The Adams are also friends as we have lived in the same area so a lot of us went to school together! What a nice feeling being able to have that comfortability…

Poor customer service

I’ve left numerous messages with this office with no return calls my case is still active and this case has been going on for a year! Do not give them your business as they take your money and run with no call backs. Notified my trustee of their behavior and ready to file complaint with Mo bar

Jack Adams is honest, knowledgeable, genuinely friendly, tenacious and actually gives a damn. Not many lawyers are. He's great!

Jack Adams is an attorney who knows his stuff and is tenacious in pursuing his clients best interest. He won't play you; he is totally upfront and honest. If he says it, you can take it to the bank. He is genuinely friendly but he won't sugar coat the facts just to string you along. If he takes ...your case, its because he believes in you and intends to win.

Always listened

I had a long drawn out disabilty case and my old attonrney didn't hardly tell me anything that was going on. I'd wait for months without so much as a phone call. A friend told me about Jack and I am so happy I switched to him! Jack not only knows how to work through the MESS of the Social Security... Administration, but he also knows how to keep a client in the loop! Sometimes you get so sick of the waiting game with Social SEcurity and I would call him all upset and Jack would just listen and understand. He cared that I was in pain and he cared that we had no money. I felt like he really did care about how I and my family did and that he really was fighting for me. Good man and good attorney.

Professional

After an experience that cost us over $1K extra on our filing (which was closed without discharge) we turned to the Adams Law Group based upon a prior recommendation. Before filing, we were not able to use their services, unfortunately. I wish we had hired them all along. Our brief time spent with... Jack was very professional and very comforting. Having come from a long, bad experience, we were slightly leary of what would be behind the next door. Talking with Jack was a huge sigh of relief for us. He explained everything to us and what all the possible scenarios could be and how we need to approach this in order to reach our desired result. We trusted what he told us and took the steps that he mentioned to us and how to resolve our case. We did as he requested and our case was discharged in less than a week. No hassles, no unforseen circumstances, no surprises. Simple, courteous, friendly and helpful. Although our matter was "simple" to fix, he treated us as if we had the weight of the world on our shoulders and he wanted to to do what he could to take care of it. I cannot recommend Jack and his team enough.
