Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I wholeheartedly endorse Adam. I have known Adam since 2010, and he consistently displays traits clients and other lawyer admire. He is a knowledgeable, highly skilled, and creative attorney. Recently, I had a client ask for assistance with a debt collections issue. However, as a family and business law attorney, I was unsure whether to accept the case. After much deliberating and research, I agreed to represent the client. On the morning of the hearing, I called and spoke with Adam to get some last minute advice to ensure I was not missing anything. Adam began rattling off case law and pointing to very specific issues that he felt I should address during the hearing. As a result of my discussions with Adam, I was able to get a dismissal on behalf of my client. I was thrilled and, obviously, my client was happy. If you are a client searching for an attorney, or if you are attorney needing insight on a similar issue, consider Adam Swartz.
