Great Attorney in Town

Adam is friendly and shows good value to his clients. I've recommended him several times and my friends and clients have had great results. I have consulted him on many subjects, and I appreciate his honestly and advice.

Lead me in the right direction

I had several questions about family law and Adam steered me in the right direction. I’m sure I will seek his advise and legal expertise in the future.

Adam Zickerman

I have worked with Adam for two years on a variety of matters, but mostly criminal work. Adam impressed me beyond measure. First, his work ethic is incomparable. I have never met anyone who works as hard on his cases to deliver justice as he does. Mr. Zickerman’s level of professionalism is unmatche...d and impeccable. Last, but certainly not least, Mr. Zickerman cares. He cares about his cases, his victims, his co-workers, and me. In my opinion, that is a quality extremely hard to find in today’s society. Anyone would be fortunate to have Mr. Zickerman as their attorney.

Highly recommended

Adam has helped me with my estate planning. He has walked me through the process and put me on track to have a solid will and trust in place to cover multiple scenarios. He has been easy to work with and has taken the time to explain how the process works all while keeping the lawyer talk to a minimu...m. I will absolutely use him for any future legal needs and I recommend him highly.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

I had been dealing with contentious family law case with a high conflict ex for nearly 8 years (false allegations in other districts, appeals, etc). When the case appeared again, we asked Mr. Zickerman to represent us hoping the family could finally find some peace. From the start, we could not ha...ve been happier with our choice. Adam is extremely knowledgeable, hardworking and honest. He quickly was able to review the lengthly history of the case and see things as they were. I also appreciated that he evaluated us as well, which has always been a good indicator of integrity to me. He is able to be both very knowledgable in family law, but practical in terms common sense. He and his team were extremely attentive and responsive to our case. He was also able with permissions to run with large portions of the case, which was necessary after 8 years of having to process everything on top of life. In the end, Adam and team were able to execute on the case and the result was we felt was in the the best interests of the family. Everyone is breathing a sigh of relief, and remembering what some serenity is like without daily conflict. I could not recommend Adam and the firm more highly.
