About Adam
Biography
Tisdell Law Firm handles all your marijuana defense needs (including wax, dab, hash, edibles, tincture, creams, lotions, or just some buds). Whether you're driving across the country with a couple hundred pounds or just bringing some goodies back from a more enlightened state, we've got your back.
Tisdell Law Firm now has an office in the Denver Metro Area (Jefferson County). Marijuana is not completely "legal" in Colorado. With Colorado's regulations related to marijuana you may find yourself on the wrong side of the law, whether accidentally or intentionally, but if you get busted give us a call.
Thanks,
Adam Tisdell
Supporter of legalization and the end of prohibition.
Criminal defense firm focusing on drug cases & DWIs.

Outcome far better than imagined
Found not guilty. What more could anyone ask for. He went above and beyond to get the best possible outcome and he achieved it. Hands down the best in Amarillo as far as I'm concerned.

Life savor!
I was looking at 4 felony possession charges, I know my life would have been changed drastically if I hadn't found Adam. From the first time we spoke of my case I knew I was on the right hands. he eased all of my concerns and blew my mind with the outcome. My family and I are very grateful for his wo...

Outstanding Lawyer
Adam did a great job on our case! We got caught with marijuana and he got us off with only a fine to deal with! He was easy to talk to and took care of everything for us! Definitely would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer!

Gets the job done!
Adam worked his magic when I was looking at a plea of 12 years for a probation violation. Once we went to court he got my probation reinstated and a sentence of only 6 months in the county jail. He is defiantly the real deal!

Adam Tisdell is an exceptional lawyer and will get you the results you need.
A few years ago I found myself in a pretty big pickle. Facing two Class A Misdemeanors and a Second Degreee felony, I was worried that my life was over. Thankfully I found Adam. Adam was easy to relate to, forthright, and very soon assured me that I would not end up in jail. Though I was afraid, I pu...
Adam B. Tisdell's Lawyer Endorsements
"I met Adam many years ago when I needed to refer a case in the area where he practices. Adam knocked the case out of the ballpark and we began our friendship out of that situation. I have referred a number of cases to Adam since that time and will continue to do so. Adam is a strong supporter of NORML and the cause of legalizing marijuana. Anyone charged with a drug crime should seriously consider Adam as the top choice if you need help in his area because he cares about you and the job he does comes from his heart. Just as importantly Adam knows the law and how to handle these serious cases with the best possible results for you, the client. Without hesitation is list Adam Tisdell as my "go to guy" when the law is coming at you full bore and losing is not an option. Jamie "the 420Dude" Balagia"
"Adam is one badass lawyer. He is hands down the best criminal defense lawyer in Amarillo! He is a great lawyer for drug cases. I endorse this lawyer."
"Adam is an excellent attorney committed to providing the highest quality representation to clients. I endorse this attorney without reservation."
"Adam is a tremendous legal talent, and I would recommend him to anyone in the Texas panhandle being charged with a crime. I consider him one of the top defense attorneys in the Amarillo area."
"Adam is an aggressive advocate for his clients. He has an unorthodox style that is creative and effective. He has a passion for his job and it shows in his relentless pursuit of justice for his client. If you are charged with a crime in the panhandle area, he is your best choice for representation."
"Adam is probably the best criminal defense attorney that I know. He understands the law and is good at making sure the government does everything correct. I had a client I sent to Adam who later decided to go with the court appointed attorney. He ended up getting 9 years prison time. The client's family told me later they regretted not hiring Adam. The family was sure the result would have been much better with Adam's help. I'm sure too. It comes down to how much you value your freedom."
"I have had the opportunity to work side by side with Adam on cases that carried a potential life sentence. Adam is on his game, he's prepared, he knows the law, and he gets to know his client before it's time for trial. Adam starts preparing for trial the minute you set foot in his office (even though he may later resolve your case or get you a dismissal well ahead of any trial setting). When you hire Adam, you will understand that you have a warrior on your side who will fight for you."
"Adam knows the law and always works hard to ensure his clients get the most favorable outcome possible. If I were in trouble, I wouldn't hesitate to call Adam myself."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Adam is a great trial lawyer and advocate for his clients. He is incredibly learned in his field, adamant in the defense of his positions, and an excellent choice whe choosing an attorney!"
