review of legal services

I appreciated your friendliness, and level of understanding of my legal needs. You were also very quick to act on my requests, which made a huge difference. THANKS!

very satisfied

Adam Seidel represented me in a divorce; termination of rights and adoption. He is a very smart and compassionate family attorney who knows his stuff. He was always available on the phone/email and responded to my queries promptly. Being in courtrooms, even during the happy adoption case, can all b...e very intimidating, he made it a lot less overwhelming. He would go over everything, and never was frustrated if he had to go over again because it was just so much to process. He genuinely cares for his clients and I would highly recommend his firm.

very satisfied

Mr. Seidel was always ready to answer my questions. I am very blessed to have an attorney who always took my calls. Thanks to Mr. Seidel, I am very satisfied with the outcome and could not have asked for a better situation. I will definitely refer him to my friends and colleagues. I hope I never need... his assistances again, but if I do I can rest assured I'm in good hands.

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.
