Great lawyer and great person

Adam defended me at the lowest point in my life. He had to represent me for not one but two dui’s. I will never forget the first time we spoke , he made me understand my life wasn’t over and that I would be able to soon be a contributing member of society again. I got the best possible outcome. He wo...uld message me multiple times a week just to simply ask how I was mentally and emotionally and if I had any questions. He is a amazing lawyer doing beyond amazing work. My case is now over and he is still there for any and all questions I have. If you are in need of a lawyer for a dui , he is the only person you want to speak to. The firm itself Manshoory Law is also full of incredible people who are there to help not judge. Not all lawyers are created equal. In Adam’s case he is the definition of representing the people for the people. I have the most respect for him and wish him nothing but continued success. Thank you for everything my brother !

Had the pleasure of having Adam represent me. Dude has style and finesse in all regards. Sharp and excellent at his job. Had a few tickets and he ensured I got no points on my record!

Top Notch Attorney

From the initial consultation five months ago and at each contact after Adam explained the process and my options relating to my case.. he called me before and after each hearing and followed up with a letter letting me know what happened in court or giving me the latest offer from the City Attorney.... Thanks to his years of experience and excellent representation I only had to appear at one out of five hearings and the case will be dismissed at the next and fifth hearing.. Having worked for attorneys in the past I know how to recognize a great lawyer. I would not hesitate to recommends Adam to anyone in need of legal help. His team at Moaddel Law firm is also very experienced and welcoming. They work well together and are familiar with each others cases and can fill in for each other if either necessary. I felt a strong connection to Adam and the team and believe no other attorneys could have resolved my matter as quickly or successfully.

Very Grateful

I think I found a unicorn: a lawyer with people skills! Adam is understanding, polite, and was very knowledgeable about my DUI case. He is able to talk like a real human being (translating legal jargon to laymans terms) and answered all my questions. Adam has a calm about him that is contagious, espe...cially when you are in need of legal advice! He is available 24/7 for any questions and never made me feel uncomfortable calling him. He is honest and upfront!

Committed Counsel

It was my pleasure to work with attorney Adam Edel on a criminal defense case I hired him to take care of for me. Upon my arrival at Moaddel I had a consultation with Mr. Edel who I instantly connected with. I could tell he was a very sharp and committed to his clients and my instinct was not wrong. ...He was in constant communication with me throughout my case and was so helpful every step of the way. I can't help to sometimes think of the results I may have possibly gotten with another lawyer but the best part is I don't have to because the judges ruling was in my favor and I owe it all to Mr. Adel. Thank you for your dedication Adam.
