I've become a little curious about some of the reviews on this site lately, specifically on Attorney (Harold), Glen Adams.
I have known and worked with Mr. Adams for the past fifteen years or so. I had been referred to Mr. Adams by my former Attorney at the time who specialized in Dallas County ca...ses, and as I had sold my home in Dallas and had moved to Plano predicating that I develop a relationship with an Attorney in Collin County for those pesky little traffic tickets that seem to pop up from time to time, I along with several other clients of my former Dallas lawyer, had had our cases, or files at least, be transferred over to Mr. Adams. So you can say I've know Mr. Adams for some time now, and over the years I suppose you can say we've become friends.
Of all the cases that Mr. Adams has represented me on, they were all either reduced, or dropped altogether. As of this entire year not a single case in which he represented me have I been fined due to a Guilty conviction.
I realize his practice has risen well above the need to spend his time working Traffic cases anymore, as well as my driving seems to have improved, but on those odd times that I needed representation Mr. Adams has been the recipient of my call.
So when I see reviews on someone's service whom I have utilized with very positive experiences, and results that has other posted reviews that bounce back and forth abruptly from Excellent to Excellent, and then to Poor to Excellent then Poor again I feel as if something doesn't add up.
It is obvious from reading any negative review here, or elsewhere where the problem lies. I look at the types of cases, or charges that were handled by the attorney on each particular incident as it was filed, it shows me the character of a person, for example, by what they may, or may not be suspected of and I factor that into my evaluation of the review as I'm reading it.
When a extremely negative review is posted it says more about the person that posted the review than it does anything else - especially when there are gramatical errors and actual misspellings in the review, which tells me the review was sent in haste, and probably in a fit of anger over a misunderstanding, or a unrealistic level of expectations on the outcomes of their own court hearing.
There's a line in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption," where Tim Robbins is talking to Morgan Freeman and the time honored question is asked, "What are you in here for?" The reply is "My Lawyer Screwed Me." The reason the joke went over so well is many people feel that way, the jails and prisons of this country are filled with people who really do believe their Lawyer screwed them.
As for Mr. Adams, he certainly has never screwed me, and I'm sure he hasn't screwed anyone anywhere near to the degree as some people try to make it sound like the has.
One last note. This web-site has several posted rules to follow when writing a review for someone, and one of which is: Be helpful, not spiteful. Do not post hostile or insulting content. I guess that's what got me going on this review in the first place. I saw several reviews I didn't feel were appropriate and decided to add my two cents.
If you want a compassionate, caring and knowledgeable lawyer for your defense you can do yourself a favor and work with Glen Adams.
