Excellent Lawyer! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would

I cannot recommend Adam enough for the excellent support and service he provided me with during my divorce. His professionalism, expertise, and exceptional care have helped me navigate the complex & emotionally draining divorce process, and achieve the outcome I wanted without going to court. Adam w...as able to negotiate/work with the opposing counsel to successfully achieve the best outcome for me without having to litigate and spend a fortune in legal fees. He was always available and very prompt in responding to any and all of my questions, and provided me with the best counsel, explaining my options and listing the pros and cons for each one. I highly recommend Adam to anyone who needs sound legal advice or help with their divorce/custody issues. He is easily one of the best family lawyers in the Bay Area.

5-Star Service and Beyond

I cannot say enough positive things about Adam or the support and service he provided during one of the most challenges times in my life. He was professional, prepared, and present while offering a personal touch during matters of sensitivity and distress. Although he was juggling numerous other case...s, I always (yes, always) felt like Adam prioritized me and my situation. He was easy to communicate with and prompt about responding to both calls and emails. No matter how many questions I had, Adam took the time to answer them with thoughtfulness and care. I felt well-represented in the court room and appreciated the tone Adam maintained with judges, opposing attorneys, and his own staff. I emphatically recommend his services to anyone dealing with custody issues and beyond. Adam made an excruciating experience bearable; I am beyond grateful that he was recommended to me during this time.

Excellent Service

I would highly recommend Adam. He never failed to stay on top of my case and always returned my calls promptly. He proved to be very knowledgable and stayed focus on moving my case forward. He is easy to talk to and always took the time to discuss the pros and cons of each decision allowing me to ...make the best informed decision to help my situation.

Highly recommend hands down; professional and efficient!

Adam Neufer, efficiently and successfully represented me. Upon first impression, his office was clean, bright and professional, which is a reflection his services. Adam put me at ease during my consultation, asked all the appropriate questions relating to my case, keeping my child's best interest as ...the focus and didn't make me feel pressured or obligated in any way to hire him on the spot. He allowed me the time I needed to mull things over privately in the conference room, but I quickly came to the decision to hire him, as I felt very confident in his capabilities to resolve my case and my instincts and judgement didn't prove me wrong! Adam succeeded in resolving my custody case in one month, all the while, keeping us out of court and being mindful of my budget by keeping the process as cost efficient for me as possible. He was very communicative and followed up with me every step of the way. He always responded promptly to my emails and was extremely professional. He provided a very high level of service and certainly sets a high standard. I would not hesitate to work with him again or recommend his services.

Child Custody / Move Away

I hired Adam about 5 years ago, I was going through a messy child custody. Adam managed to help me get custody of my two year old daughter. To me that is big for a father to have custody of a young daughter over the mother. About 2 or 3 years ago, Adam reached out just to see how things were going. I...t was a blessing. I actually needed his help with a move-away order. He was thorough and reasonable. He assisted me in getting the order as well as modify the exchange and visitations to protect myself and my daughter. I would recommend Adam to everyone. He was very helpful. He was also realistic with me, no sugar coat. He would explain to me if I had questions. If I need any other assistance with my child custody, I will hire Adam. No one else.
