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.

Since this lawyer was appointed by the court to represent my child. I have attempted to call her for the last 38 days without any response. Today, I learned that she hasn't even contacted anyone I gave her the info about whom are considered "professionals" by the courts. I'm going to ask for a marsd...ens hearing and try to get an attorney who has their "clients best interests" at hand.

Carol was hired to represent my mother - she befriended my mother then turn around and yell at my mother like she was a little kid...telling her to "ShutUp" and not to act the way she does ........ she is not professional and I believe that she needs to have her liceanse pulled immed. she is has turn...ed my mom and dads divorce into a mess - never stood behind my mother . And is still holding my mothers money and will not release it !!!!!!!!!!!
