Do not call him, stay away from him.
Do not call him. No honesty. No ethics. He won't mind even take/draw the blood from a dead-body to make money. Do not sign anything with him. Do not give your money. Do not call him. Call some other attorneys. he will take your money and run. we hired him. never did any work. we lost our funds.

Carl David Adams's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Carl since law school at Baylor from which he graduated at the top of the class. Unlike many attorneys who can adequately argue the facts and law applicable to their client's case, Carl has the innate ability to empathize with his client's situation and convey that empathy to a jury, while also explaining the law in a common sense way. I have referred clients to Carl over the years, and plan to do so in the future as the need arises."
