Outstanding, prompt service

I was referred to Mr. Soorholtz for help in clearing up an ancient, minor legal issue in Texas. Adam clearly knows him way around the Bell County courthouse, and resolved my situation the same day I first reached out to him to guidance. I rarely write internet reviews, but was very impressed and want...ed to share my experience. He seems very sharp and professional. Thumbs up.

Grateful

Adam is straightforward and honest and is focused on doing his very best for his client(s). He helped our family tremendously and we are forever grateful for his professionalism and diligence. May god bless him and bring him every opportunity and success his way.

Trustworthy and timely

Adam helped our family settle an estate...we thought with a will, everything would be easy. After a review, Adam found numerous areas that would be potential stumbling blocks in court. Adam was instrumental in navigating the probate process and making sure details were completed before going to co...urt. Adam handled the details without delay and excels in communicating clearly. He cut through the legal jargon, putting everything in terms my wife and I could understand. When you need an attorney, Adam is a good lawyer to have representing your interests.

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.
