About Adam

 I'm  an associate at Davis & Young and involved in all aspects of the firm's employment and tort law litigation.

 

Before joining Davis & Young, I served as a judicial extern to the Hon. Jeremy Fogel, Judge for the United States District Court, Northern District of California.  I also interned for the Hon. Socrates Manoukian, Judge for the Santa Clara County Superior Court.  I helped indigent clients in the wake of Hurricane Katrina as a volunteer at New Orleans Legal Assistance (NOLAC) and represented and advised underprivileged community members at the Katharine and George Alexander Community Law Center in San Jose.

 

I'm also actively involved in alumni-student connection programs at Bellarmine College Preparatory and have lectured to students at Santa Clara University School of Law and Lincoln Law School in San Jose.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have worked both against and with Adam on several matters, and Adam is one of the hardest working and brightest attorneys I know.

Kevin Sullivan, Insurance Attorney on Jul 28, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I had the pleasure of working with Adam. I was able to determine quickly that he was a person of the highest integrity who was interested in really helping his clients and making a difference. He showed great skill and practical people skills. Adam is also a very good team player that worked with me in a team setting to resolve several cases. I recommend Adam highly. You would be lucky to have a lawyer like Adam representing you.

Andrew Holley, Litigation Attorney on Jul 27, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Adam and I were classmates in law school at Santa Clara, and I had the good fortune to be teamed up with him for the 2009 Ruby Vale Corporate Law Moot Court competition in Wilmington, Delaware. He worked hard to get prepared, was easy to work with, and stood up and argued his case with ease. Any client should feel comfortable knowing that Adam is handling their matter.
