Mr. Aparicio is a great resource in the areas of business, negotiation and franchising. I found his insight and expertise extraordinarily helpful on more than one occasion and I highly recommend him as a resource for others.
Anitha Cadambi, Estate planning Attorney on Sep 23, 2013
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
Adam is an outstanding attorney. Not only does he provide unique solutions to complex legal questions; he does it with the patience and expertise one would expect from a quality lawyer. He is a friend, confidant, and a thorough professional.
Brandon Gantus, General practice Attorney on Oct 4, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Adam Aparicio is a highly-skilled attorney who excels in quickly dissect client issues and develop practical, cost-efficient solutions. As a litigator, Adam's interpersonal skills allow him to work with opposing parties to favorably resolve matters for his clients. In addition, Adam's creativity and foresight provide him with the tools to develop estate plans that meet each of his client's unique needs. I would be pleased to refer clients and friends to Adam for effective representation.
Richard Ayoob, Business Attorney on Feb 1, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Our firm has referred a number of business matters to Adam for handling and we have been very pleased with his work. The matters involved general legal issues involved in small business situations as well as some estate planning issues. He has been extremely attentive to the clients' needs and very prompt in his communications. He has billed in a fair manner and successfully completed each engagement we have referred. He has been particularly adept at developing solutions that take into account the client's full situation rather than solving a single problem in a vacuum. We will continue, without qualification, to recommend Adam in the future on matters outside our practice area.
Charles Ajalat, Business Attorney on Jan 30, 2011

I endorse this lawyer. Adam Aparicio is an excellent lawyer and is practical, ethical and cost-effective. He anticipated estate planning changes in 2010, while most lawyers were confused. I have seen him come up with creative ideas to complex problems. He is extraordinarily client-oriented. He is highly recommended to potential clients needing business or estate planning help.
Jiaming Shang, Business Attorney on Jan 25, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Adam Aparicio is an incredible attorney all around, but his value to the small business owner is hard to overstate. Small businesses at the beginning and midpoint of their lives face a daunting gauntlet of challenges, from organizational structure, corporate formalities, managing rights and obligations of business partners to regulatory approval and compliance, employment issues, and creating tax efficient structures at both the entity and owner levels. Adam has an unparalleled ability to recognize and resolve the interplay between these issues while keeping risks under control through the use of innovative and unconventional solutions. Whenever I am discussing a particularly thorny legal problems with Adam, he often has an out-of-left-field insight that leads to a solution I was not able to see before. Lawyers generally are not (and should not be) “out of the box thinkers” but Adam will find solutions in corners of the box you never knew existed.
Christophe Matarese, Trusts Attorney on Jan 24, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Adam has the rare ability to immediately understand complex situations and break them down into terms his clients can understand. He is extremely creative and often comes up with out-of-the box solutions that can efficiently solve difficult problems. He is exceptionally bright and personable. Adam is also one of the hardest workers I know. He will not rest until he has obtained the optimum result for his clients. Finally, Adam has a strong understanding of several different but related areas of the law. The gives him the ability to handles matters himself that might ordinarily take several lawyers.
