Great Attorney

Anne Adams assisted with a family law matter. Ms. Adams was professional and straight forward with me through out the whole case. She's a down to earth, honest attorney who genuinely has her clients best interest at heart. Her legal fees are reasonable. I highly recommend her. She did excellent work....

Stay Away!!!!

Ms. Adams made me feel terrible during my divorce proceedings. She actually would say that I had messed things up and would sigh and act like I was an idiot. She requested the same documents from me over and over, which I sent...over and over. When I would arrive at our meetings, she had never eve...n opened them and would waste our time pushing the papers around, demanding to know what I thought I had included--which was everything...precisely...that she had requested. At times she seemed more interested in my spouse's interests than in mine--her own client. There are many good, qualified attorneys out there. Anne C. Adams is NOT one of them. Stay away.

Many people feel poorly during a divorce. It can be a difficult experience. I try to help my clients feel better about the situation. Since I don't know who you are, I don't know if you acted in some way, which made your divorce more difficult. If I think that a client is taking an action that is damaging to their case, I discuss it with the client so we can improve the situation. I also try to give my client the other side's perspective so they understand that there are two sides to a situation, and the client understands the type of issues that will probably be presented to the Judge by the other side. I always represent my client's interests, not their spouse's interests. Sometimes if a client better understands the other party's perspective, it helps us settle the case and save the client money. We typically request that clients bring their documents into the office at the time of their appointment. It seems that there may have been an email problem if we requested the documents more than once. If this person would like to contact me directly by telephone, I will see if there is anything I can do to improve your experience.

Helpful Consultation

I went in to consult on matters related to division of property. She clearly spelled out the steps that would be necessary, suggested wording on correspondence, and laid out a plan for me to take action to accomplish my goals. It was very helpful. She was reasonable and accommodating with my sched...ule.

Posted by Sheila | February 13, 2014 | Debt Settlement

Great legal representation for a debt settlement case!

I had entered a period of financial hardship and couldn't keep up with payments on all my debts. One company sued me and I tried to settle the debt myself and could negotiate only a 20% discount. I was referred to Anne Adams and she was very professional in handling my case. She told me how every ...step of the process would likely work so I would not be surprised along the way. She gave me a briefing on how cases like mine were typically handled. The outcome of the settlement she negotiated was far higher than I was expecting at around 60% which is not common with the credit card company we were dealing with. I was so pleased. She also made sure the payment schedule was in my favor along with other terms, like no balloon payment in the end. Her offices and her assistants were also very pleasant and professional. I am referring Anne to all my friends and family for legal help and would return to her in the future as well.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
