straight shooter who breaks law down to the everyday man

Adam was a fine lawyer. He managed to take what i thought was very confusing law language and helped me understand what it ment. He was timely keeping me in the know and had great court room presence. I hope to never have to use him a gain but i would in a heart beat if a situation arose.
