My first priority is to resolve the case for my client efficiently, ethically and effectively.  From the first meeting through the life of the case, I always give you an honest opinion.   Even if it is not what you want to hear, I will tell you what I think of the situation.  It is better for everyone to have reasonable expectations from the onset.  As the case progresses, I believe that we are team working towards a resolution.  You are the best expert on the facts of the case so I need your input when telling your story.

I maintain a "court centric" litigation focus so when or if the case is in litigation, I am ready willing and able to fight for you. My greatest satisfaction comes from arguing in court and putting a case in front of the jury. Attorneys from around Houston and Texas hire me to go to court to try their cases and argue motions. I handle all the paperwork quite well, and like it, but for me the courthouse holds the most promise.  What it boils is down to is this:  I enjoy the fight but handle the procedural and paper side equally well. I am not one to sit in my office.  In the years since law school, I have primarily litigated cases from all sides and in many areas. This experience results in someone who is happiest when in court.

In addition, I spent five years working as general counsel for governmental agencies. This saw me handling their litigation files as well as real estate transactions, lending and other transactions.  I gained valuable insight that gives me a unique perspective when advising you  on the matter at hand and the transaction you need closed. 

When my cases go to trial, I put a heavy focus in to preparing for voir dire. To me, jury selection can make or break the case while setting the tone of the trial. Part of my preparation centers around reviewing the case law and examining my case with a critical eye for flaws that need to be addressed. This provides an excellent way to prepare the case. Furthermore, jury selection provides an excellent opportunity to begin to argue the facts and build a rapport with the jury. I really enjoy this portion of the trial.

Efficient and Determined
After consulting with various attorneys, I was unsure how to proceed on collecting a judgment owed by an estate. Adam was eager and willing to take my case, and had a levelheaded plan of action in our first conversation. His client/ attorney contract and communication during the process was clear and straight forward. Within months after hiring him, I received the full judgement amount, plus the accumulated interest. Adam is now providing assistance with another legal case. I highly recommend him, especially for legal services involving breach of contract and/or debt collection.

Adam was a very professional attorney for our board for years. He handled all of our legal matters and completed one lawsuit for the board. He attended and made sure all of our meetings ran according to the law. I would hire him for a personal attorney if needed.

An effective lawyer
I am from out of State and I have succesfully used Mr Tabak for a collection case. I found him to be quite effective in representing our interests and kept us well appraised. I used AVVO in reviewing and selecting a lawyer for this action.

Setting up Corporations
Adam and I set up a couple of LLCs in 2009 as part of my long term strategy of building and protecting wealth. He is very knowledgeable in this field and is very approachable for questions or concerns during the process.

I recommend Attorney Adam Tabak for Debt Collections
July 9, 2009 Attorney Adam Tabak is a highly esteemed professional who knows the law. He recently represented me in a credit report matter. In this day and age, everyone knows the importance of maintaining and keeping a healthy credit score. Credit scores can effect whether or not you obtain employment . A credit score can also determine the interest rate that lender(s) consider you a high or low risk factor for the rate that you receive on a car, mortgage or personal loan. Before retaining Attorney Tabak, we had a face to face consultation. He was patient , diligent and very methodical in explicating the procedures that he would follow to resolve my situation. Within 90 days, he had my credit restored back to over a 700 plus. The erroneous trade-lines had been deleted because of his thoroughness in the Texas State Law. That’s what it takes to fight collection agencies and original creditors! An attorney that doesn’t mind holding companies accountable for trying to intimidate hard working people, such as myself! I would recommend Adam Tabak to anyone whom is serious and ready to see immediate results in any situation.I have referred Attorney Tabak to friends whom are currently being denied children court ordered visitation and etc. Adam Tabak expertise in the field of law is undeniably an art of brilliance. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a proficient, dedicated and consistent man of the law. I would not be surprised if he is appointed Judge, very soon. A very satisfied Fixed Asset Accountant & Client, Tabatha C. Perkins

Commercial real estate Attorney | Jan 18
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Adam was opposing counsel on a breach of contract case involving a botched wedding reception. I had already successfully gotten summary judgment against the Defendant due to a wholly ineffective counsel who was representing before Adam. Adam came in and successfully protected his client rights. A settlement was reached, but a lot less than I would have gotten from the previous attorney. We've developed a great friendship through this case and I refer Adam ANY civil matter. He's a bulldog."
