Avoid Adam at all costs.

Hiring Adam Kocaj caused severe harm to my legal and financial well-being; his representation was marked by administrative failures, unprofessional conduct, and an alarming disregard for basic attorney duties. He routinely ignored valid, documented medical evidence in my case and reacted with unprofe...ssional hostility whenever I requested accountability. Instead of advancing my case, he repeatedly demanded compliance while demonstrating a complete lack of competence. His conduct was so egregious that I filed a formal complaint with the State Bar of California. I retained Adam for a severe toxic exposure matter involving documented bodily injuries and hospital records. Despite receiving my accredited medical records, his office failed to properly organize or present them to third parties. When I applied for pre-settlement medical funding for necessary treatment, the underwriter confirmed in writing that Adam's office submitted zero medical records and improperly classified my personal injury claim as a basic property damage claim. His office's failure to present my medical evidence severely undermined my ability to secure funding for necessary care. His office also mismanaged court filings. He submitted an Amended Complaint without providing me a copy to review beforehand. When I requested the document, he blamed processing delays and refused to provide the un-stamped draft he submitted. He then claimed he could "cancel" the filing, withholding the legal record from his own client. When I presented written proof of these documentation failures, he abruptly withdrew from my case shortly before a scheduled court appearance. His communications were consistently condescending and rude, using the threat of immediate withdrawal to avoid addressing my case facts or providing my file.

Best best best injury attorney!

I was in a terrible car accident, and I was really skeptical about hiring an attorney. A friend of mine talked me into hiring an attorney they trusted. Adam helped me through the process did such an amazing job on my case. I really appreciated his communication throughout the process. I never thought... I would be someone to hire an attorney and go through the process but now he has a client for life if anything happens - thank you!!!

Amazing Attorney!

I was hurt in a car accident. Not my fault but the insurance company wanted to blame me. I hired Adam and he set the insurance company straight. Adam ended up settling my case with the insurance company for the maximum amount. It was awesome.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
