Very professional

Adam handled my phase very professionally. He clearly knows what he is doing and I was very happy with the outcome of my case.

Worst experience I’ve ever had

In the beginning it seemed like he really wanted to help n represent me properly, but as you can see( 1 star) that went away quickly. I have no idea what’s going on with my case, he has failed to communicate with the state on my behalf, I’ve been constantly in the dark, he has advised me of false inf...ormation time and time again, also he has me set for a COP (change of plea) when a plea bargain has never even been presented to me, n last but not least this secretary/ paralegal(whoever answers the phone on his behalf) is beyond disrespectful and unprofessional. Instead of hearing out what I was worried about she continually cut me off n got to the point she was screaming at me and hung up. And once I called back she continued yelling and screaming at me for no apparent reason. I can understand if I was getting outa hand or yelling or cussing around or at her but that wasn’t the case at all. (My phone was on Bluetooth in the car n I was at work driving with my boss when it all happened) by the end of the phone call she still had no idea what I was even trying to ask her, because she wouldn’t listen. N when asked to speak with Adam she wouldn’t check if he was in just yelled “nope he’s not in”. it has been the most unpleasant experience I’ve ever had with a lawyer in my life. He has sprung things on me in court that have had devastating effects in said case, I could go on n on. He wasnt always bad, I’d be lying if I said that but when weighing good and bad the bad definitely outweighs the good. I do not suggest hiring or even using him as a court appointed attorney.

Austin, thank you for taking the time to submit a review. I know you and I had the opportunity to discuss what happened. Unfortunately, there was a series of events that lead to confusion regarding the scheduling of your next court date. I know that you have a lot on the line in seeing that this case is resolved in a manner that will not disrupt your life. As we discussed, I've taken actions to ensure that other client's don't find themselves in similar situations. And just so you know, I told your new attorney that if he needs anything from me in his representation of you that I'd be more than happy to help. I want to make sure that the transition in representation is as seamless as possible for you. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss anything further. Thanks.

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.
