Lawyer is no good

Hired him for my divorce case. Sent him a total of 1,150. This included the consultation fee and also a restraining order that he never filed. He does not communicate throughout the entire process and lies to make you think he’s doing anything. I wish I would have seen these reviews beforehand. I had... to get another attorney. He took advantage of my emotional distress and I have anxiety. I am filing a grievance against to sue for my money back and I suggest everyone who has anything negative to say about him do the same. He should not be able to cause stress to anyone else. I was hospitalized due to the stress.

Thankful

I am extremely thankful to have had Adam as my criminal defense attorney. From our first meeting he truly went above and beyond what I expected. He listened patiently to every detail of my case, explained everything clearly (no confusing legal jargon), and made sure I felt comfortable and informed at... each step. He showed deep expertise—he knew the local courts, the prosecutors, and the judges in our area, which gave me confidence that he could navigate the system strategically. He also kept me in the loop at all times, returned my calls or messages promptly, and proactively pointed out issues or opportunities ahead of time. When things got stressful—many unknowns, possible serious penalties—he didn’t just go through the motions. He dug into the evidence, asked tough questions, challenged the prosecution where necessary, and made sure my side of the story was heard and respected. Because of his dedication, we achieved an outcome much better than I ever dared hope for. Beyond just being a great attorney, Adam showed compassion and respect. He treated me as a person, not just another case number. He made sure I understood my rights and options, and he walked me through worst-case scenarios as well as best-case ones, so I was mentally prepared. If you’re looking for a criminal defense lawyer who will fight hard, communicate clearly, and care about you as a client—the way I believe Adam did—then I wholeheartedly recommend him.

I’m happy to take your money

Adam was very easy to hire, just send him the money, but then he is impossible to get in touch with. Doesn’t answer phone calls or Texts. He was hired to take care of a ticket, he had it pushed back time and time again for almost a year, approximately 1 week short of a year. I would have to call the... court office to get the status because Adam would not respond to my texts, or phone calls. Finally the last time I called the court they said I had a warrant for my arrest because I had a failure to appear. Do not hire Adam.

Adam Joseph Childers Law, Very Poor, Fraudulent, Beware!

Very poor service. I would rate a 0 if it were possible. "Attorney" Adam Joseph Childers only responded promptly for payments otherwise he ignores phone calls and text regarding the actual case. When he does reply to text, he is always busy with something else. He stated he submitted a motion to dism...iss on my appeal but never sent me the confirmation that he actually did it and ignored my numerous request for the confirmation that he actually submitted it. Avoid choosing this person to represent you. I am very dissatisfied with my experience. I have reported dispute of charges to my bank and reported him and his law firm to the Better Business Bureau.
