Very helpful in setting up end of life documents

After becoming parents, my husband and I needed to set up a will and all the legal documentation to have in case of passing. David was very easy to work with, providing all the documents and explaining what each document was about. It was a seamless process. A little over 10 years later we revisited ...these legal documents with David, and it was good to update our wishes. One of those things that is good to have done. David is personable, knowledgeable, and thorough. Great attorney.

Honest

David S Adams is the most honest attorney that I have ever met. Not only was he very helpful with my auto injury he also told me what to expect. Very empathic to my health and problems. I liked him the very first time I met him. I highly recommend Mr. Adams and his firm. They are the best choice I've... every made.

Great attorney

I was fortunate to have Mr. Adams handle my auto injury case. He was always compassionate and willing to answer all of my questions. It was a tough process and David never wavered in supporting me. That commitment resulted in the best possible outcome in my case. I highly recommend David Adams.

Great Communicator and Great Results

David Adams was affordable, and could not have been better in helping me. In the past, I've dealt with lawyers that left me completely in the dark throughout the process and it was like pulling teeth trying to get them to communicate with me about what was going on. This was a completely different ex...perience. He kept me informed and was happy to communicate throughout the entire process of dealing with my PI case, which was resolved to my satisfaction within 11 months. He was not afraid to keep pushing and fighting back to get me better offers. He even called to give me updates when I didn't ask for them and took the time to thoroughly explain everything I did not understand. I highly recommend him for PI cases!

David S. Adams

Mr. Adams was very professional and non-judgmental since day one. I came in to his office ashamed of my financial situation and having to seek legal assistance. Mr. Adams made me understand that it was okay to seek assistance to start over to gain financial freedom. Mr. Adams explain everything in la...yman's terms from the being to the end of my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Adams for being a very helpful understanding professional.

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.
