Carol Lee Adams

Based on my experience, I would seriously question Carol Adams’ ethics, integrity, judgment, and respect for former-client confidentiality. She previously consulted with me and gave me legal advice in a confidential family-law matter, then later appeared against me as my husband’s attorney in a su...bstantially related divorce, DVRO, custody, and support case to injure me, case emotional distress, and milk my family for money. She also filed multiple Ex Parte's without an emergency and did not give proper notice to me or my attorney. The Riverside County Superior Court Judge granted my motion to disqualify her, finding that an attorney-client relationship existed and that disqualification was mandatory. I have filed a State Bar complaint regarding this conduct. In my opinion, this was a serious ethical failure, lack of integrity, and a profound breach of trust. I would never recommend Carol Adams, David Clark, or the firm Adams & Clark in Indian Wells. There is an active CA Bar complaint as of Spring 2026.

She will ruin your life if she decides she likes the other parent better than you. I paid for her and she has turned two healthy children into basket cases. You can't get her removed once she is on your case. Make sure your the parent she likes. I have paid an attorney a lot of money to defend me aga...inst her. My ex is pro per. He doesn't even need to get one. He has Carol to lie for him. Watch out. She ruined my life and my reputation. She spoke to me for ten minutes two years ago. She let's the other parent sit on interviews to influence the children. My children tired to remove her and she won't let them. I have no words. She will lie and lie just because she can.

When first appointed by the Courts for my child, we were worried that Mrs. Adams was not going to have enough time to be thorough with the case. We were so wrong! She indeed has taken up an incredible amount of hours to ensure all facts and information was taken in account. She has taken time out o...f her personal life to fly across country to Georgia for investigation in this interstate case. She visited both parents home, interviewed several individuals, compiled hours of information and put it in reports, talked to us to get an insight of what was best for the child, her client. She has been a true resounding voice for the minor. Mrs. Adams was impartial, honest, remained non biased, and genuinely there to report facts with the child in mind, not the wants of the either parent. With the case still over, she has continued to check in on her client, and even give talks to him. She has the respect of the child and speaks with him in a manor to where he can understand and feels important. Mrs. Adams has been a blessing, and does not know it. Our child really feels like he had a voice and say in court because of Mrs. Adams.I appreciate her patience and time with this and completely value her opinion. Thank you for not treating our child like a number, but more like a real person with a voice.
