Awesome Attorney

I hired Adam Hepburn with HHJ after I was facing a 2nd time DUI. I can tell you that hiring Adam was the best decision of my life. The DA was trying to throw the book at me and Adam reassured me that we are never going to accept that and that we'll go all the way to trial if they don't act reasonably.... Adam fought the case for over a year and he had the case set for trial. Adam was confident in my case and he was preparing to go to trial. I have met some other lawyers in my life and none of them were real fighters. Adam was different. Right before our trial date, Adam was able to get a ridiculous offer and settle the case. I can't thank him enough for literally saving my life. Some people are all talk but Adam and his team at HHJ are badass lawyers. I have his number on speed dial for anything I need.

Aggressive & Results Driven Lawyer!

Adam Hepburn from HHJ Trial attorneys represented my wife after she was rear ended by a drunk driver. The driver injured not only my wife, but six others as well. My wife was rushed to the hospital and ultimately unable to work for over a year because of her traumatic brain injury she sustained in th...e accident. This accident upended our whole life. I can’t describe into words how difficult the entire incident was, but it continues to affect our family and more importantly my wife to this day. We hired Adam Hepburn to represent us and after speaking with him we knew he would have our best interest at heart and we could let him take care of everything. Within days, he had the best experts and the best doctors working on the case and he started fighting for us immediately. Anytime we called Adam with questions and concerns he always picked up his phone, even well into the night. He reassured us throughout the whole process that we did not need to worry and always advised us as if we were family which we truly appreciated during this extremely difficult time. We couldn’t be more grateful for all of his help. After fighting on our behalf for over a year, Adam was able to get the insurance company to offer their maximum settlement amount. We walked away with a large sum of money that will help my wife and ease the burden on her long road to recovery. I would recommend Adam Hepburn and his firm to anyone and everyone who needs help like we did. You simply cannot beat their experience, passion, and results. Thank you again, Adam, you helped change our lives and bring some much needed peace during a most difficult time.

best attorney ever

Adam Hepburn and his law firm are the absolute best! I can’t say enough about them. They helped me out when my friend and I were hit about 6 months ago when the other driver ran a red light. Both me and my friend had to go to the hospital and I had to deal with a bunch of shoulder and hand issues for... months. We had to file a lawsuit because the insurance company was acting as if I was at fault even though the police report said the other person ran the red light. I got to see Adam in action during a deposition and it was awesome. Within a few weeks we settled the case for WAY more than I ever thought we could get. I had never dealt with anything like this before, but I would call these guys for ANYTHING I need.

Most talented lawyer I know

I was driving on the freeway when the traffic slowed down and someone rear-ended me going 50 or 60 mph. It felt like a bulldozer had just slammed into my head smashed into the steering wheel. It turned out that the other driver didn’t have insurance and I was stuck with all the medical bills on my ow...n. After months of trying to get better by going to doctor after doctor, even my own insurance tried to downplay my injuries and said I wasn’t that hurt (even though my car was completely totaled!). A friend of mine told me I should call Adam Hepburn and that he would be able to fight for me. It was the best call I ever made. Adam immediately reassured me that I shouldn’t feel like the party in the wrong and that he would make sure my insurance company didn’t downplay my injuries. Adam fought against my insurance company for months and he got them to offer over 20 times what they offered when I spoke to them on my own. I don’t know how he did it but I would never go to anyone else other than Adam Hepburn and his team at HHJ. It’s the best outcome I could ever hope for and I feel like I have a group of amazing attorneys in my corner if I ever need them again in the future. Thank you!!!!
