Adam P. Criaco

This man needs to Retire asap! He is a straight liar, and I learned that he will take your case and if you fire him he will threaten you make up lies and want money even if nothing was done on your case. That’s not how this works the attorney gets paid if he wins your case not if he’s fried for being... so nasty and disrespectful. Also I agree that he mistreat woman especially woman of color. We should all send letters to the state bar association he needs to lose his license. He make the firm look bad and puts a horrible name on attorneys! I will be sending a 5 page letter to Austin Tx on this jerk…

Attorney was assigned to our case as Associate Counsel by Jim Adler and Assoc. Beyond intake paperwork and a an email requesting information plus a receipt confirming I provided said information, this attorney's office did not attempt to contact myself or the other claimant on the case. By his ow...n admission, he "sat on the case" because he, or his subordinates, failed to perform due diligence or communicate within their own office. When challenged with this information, Craico elected to dismiss us as "not having a case." This statement has been challenged as inaccurate by our newly retained attorney. I would wholly endorse previous claims of arrogance, belligerence, and general disregard for the client. This attorney demonstrated a blatant lack of interpersonal communication skills in addition to an ignorance regarding the state of the case, accusing us of refusing contact when the fault lay within his own office. His, and his office's negligence has put us dangerously close to the statute of limitations for filing a suit. It is fortunate for both parties that I called to seek updates before this time had fully elapsed.

I was injured in a fall at Woodlands Mall due to renovations but an absence of barricades. My fall caused a shoulder injury that required corrective surgery. Despite the severity of the injury, I was given the run around by the mall, the construction company and subcontractors, as each blamed each ...other. The first lawyer I hired told me that a lawsuit had to be filed and he recommended me to Mr. Criaco. Mr. Criaco explained to me why the companies were giving me the run around and how it is a tactic to delay. I did not like what I was hearing. Mr. Criaco warned me not to blame the messenger, as he explained to me that we will always tell me the truth about my claim whether it is good or bad. I took a deep breath, trusted him and shortly after he filed suit all the companies got together to resolve my claim. Companies and their insurance pay claims when they are afraid of the lawyer that you hire. I now see why they were afraid of Mr. Criaco, as he really does take cases to trial. I would (and I have) recommended him to friends. Mary F.
