For twenty-five years, she has worked for her clients to obtain compensation for the personal harms and losses they’ve suffered and the financial losses from difficult and life-altering limitations.

She helps them through the intricacies of the civil justice system and garners the legal and expert resources necessary to present their claims persuasively both in and out of court. She takes great pride in seeing the resources families are able to use to return to active and productive lives from successful outcomes.
With passion and empathy, Ms. Adams and the members of her firm represent people injured in automobile and trucking accidents, auto and pedestrian/ bicycle collisions, uninsured motorist and other insurance claims, skiing and ski lift injuries and medical malpractice actions—in all cases involving personal injury. She works with those whose loved ones have died, whether from a car crash, a commercial trucker’s negligence or a hospital or physician’s fatal errors. Ms. Adams has been honored by Martindale Hubbell with an AV-preeminent ranking, recognizing legal skills and the highest ethical standards.
