THE BEST!

I was detained and charged with a misdemeanor. My arrest was a bit scary because I noticed it was handled out of protocol so I knew then and there I had to hire an attorney. This was in the middle of the pandemic everything was even more confusing and court dates/hearings were pushed back. Throughout... the process Adam always checked in with me to see if I had any questions as well as other staff members. Adam took care of EVERYTHING and got my case dismissed and nothing went on my record! I never had to worry about a thing. Can't thank you enough!

Communicative and Thorough

I had a vandalism misdemeanor that was keeping me from landing jobs after my final interviews. It popped up on my background search every time and Adam took the time to hear my side of the story and determine the best course of action. My case was dropped today after 4 court appearances. All in all h...e made himself available via text and cal for questions on the case. Even if I didn’t reach out first he would check in periodically to see if I needed any clarification. Great experience overalls!

In a bind? Call Adam!

When I got arrested for my second dui I thought my life was over. I went out searching for attorneys and I came across Manshoory Law Group. I am so glad I found them. Adam was assigned to my case and right away I was receiving phone calls from him asking about details and reassuring me that he would ...do everything he could to help me out. He was incredibly professional and courteous the entire time that he was on my case, always calling and texting me to give all the updates. He was able to get my charges dropped down as much as he could. No community service, almost no fines, and no jail time. Without him I would’ve been in a way bigger mess. He really saved me on this one! Thanks so much Adam for all of your help!

DUI case

Adam Edel is a great lawyer who took my case and was able to get the dui taken away. I'm glad I was able to get him to represent my case and I will highly recommend to get him as a lawyer for any case. He keeps you updated and keeps in touch with you which I think is really great.

I would highly recommend

I started working with Adam Edel and his team after multiple failed attempts to get Chrysler Fiat to step up and fix my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500. Once Adam got involved things started happening, no more getting the run around, Chrysler became accountable for their awful product, and I wasn't getting pus...hed around anymore. I can't tell you the peace of mind I had when I was able to unload a folder of paperwork and problems into Adams hands. Chrysler's first attempted to give me a quick settlement which having Adam in my corner to answear all my questions and give me advice, we declined. Then a second offer was made doubling the price of the first and Adam recommend that we take the case to trial and go for a full buy back due to all the problems I was experiencing with the vehicle, and we did. Some time went by and Adam called me one morning and said we won our case that Chrysler had decided to re purchase the vehicle at full value and they didn't want to take it to court! I literally didn't have to do anything but respond to Emails, talk to Adam and his team on the phone when I needed advice, and get paperwork to him. I really felt like I was in good hands and without Adam Edel who knows where I would be. I would HIGHLY recommend Adam Edel to fight in your corner for your rights. Don't let a big corporate company push you around. Higher a professional like Adam that will stand up for you and fight the system the way it needs to be fought. This is a no brainer you want Adam Edel and his team fighting for you, trust me.
