Timothy Allen Adams

We hired this special education attorney, Timothy A. Adams, by referral from my son's speech therapist. I was confident that my son was finally going to get his educational needs met because he was being recommended by a professional in the field. He initially came across as very caring and then we ...were shocked by his lack of care in our case and the rapid fire bills that kept coming at us. He charges astronomical rates because of the reputation he built by becoming a board member of special education entities. We dealt with him for only about one year, and when it was all said and done we were under a bill of over $100,000 and nothing to show for it but heartbreak and financial disaster. We thought we were hiring him to save us and our child from a backwards public school system. We have then since done our research and found a small firm that really understands special education law and cares about special needs.

I retained Tim to represent my son,and it was a very simple case so we didn't anticipate any problems aside from getting the district to comply with what was in the IEP. Tim was distant and cold when I met with him. I didn't like him personally, didn't feel much compassion or personality from him. I ...have heard mixed reviews from others, including my friends. He is very aggressive so perhaps that's how he gets the job done.

I had a very pleasant experience with Tim Adams. He is very educated in special education law. I felt confident having him as our attorney. He was always honest with me, and our outcome was very successful. I would recommend him to any families that need help in obtaining FAPE for their child. My chi...ld is doing great, thanks to Tim Adams.

Tim Adams is probably one of the best things that happened to my family and I. Tim not only has represented us and our daughter over the past couple of years but most importantly, has educated us on issues that we were not familiar with before. He has instilled such confidence in us so that we have b...een able to successfully deal directly with our school district and we only call him when we have questions or there is something we cannot handle. Equally important, thanks to Tim we have become more involved in the autism community and have met wonderful people who like us, have wonderful things to say about him. Tim has been a groundbreaker in the area of special education and has set the bar (high) for other attorneys who do this kind of work. He is constantly asked to do speaking engagements for local support groups and at national conferences. I suppose this website is helpful if you want to get some reviews of attorneys you are dealing. However, the most accurate feedback you can get is from word of mouth, blogs, and message boards that focus on special education law. I see Tim's name come up a lot on these and its always good stuff.

Tim has represented my son for nearly six years with the utmost professionalism. He has the ability to be a tough advocate, but also remain polite, firm and professional with school districts and opposing counsel. He and his staff always return my call/email within 24 hours, I have referred many p...arents to Tim and have consistently heard ongoing good reports as to their child's outcome and how Tim has helped to them to understand the law and how they can advocate for their child. Tim gives parents an honest appraisal of their child's case and keeps them informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Tim and his associate attorneys.
