Straight forward and puts in the work

I initially met with Mark Adams to see if I even had a case. I let him know what exactly happened and he was honest about where I had points at and where I didn’t. He worked hard on my case and got me a settlement that I could live with.

Experienced, Supportive and Worth Every Penny

Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and his experience is priceless. The outcome of my case would not have been what it was if it weren't for his experience. I felt very supported throughout my case! I would refer Mark and encourage anyone to retain him if you want an experienced and supportive attorne...y.

Very good Lawyer

I was very fortunate to have Mark for my case. He got back to me in a timely manner to answer any questions I had and educated me on how the process worked.

Excellence in guidance

In 2012, I filed a complain for salary inequality, and Mark Adams accepted to represent my case. I was very satisfied with his work. He studied my case thoroughly, documented it, researched appropriately . He presented my options to me clearly, as well as the possible outcome for each option. I was... impressed by his professionalism and care.

Posted by Lora | January 18, 2015 | Sexual Harassment

sexual harassment at work

I posted my problem I was having at work on a website to find a lawyer. Mark Adams is one of the lawyers that contacted me. I chose Mr. Adams. He had me come to his office quickly. He listened to my story and filed a sexual harassment claim against my employer. He accompanied me to do a depositi...on that my employer requested. He made sure I stayed on track in the deposition and didn't allow the other lawyer harass me. In the end the person that was harassing me was suspended and demoted. That person was in a very high position in a Government entity demoted back to what he was hired as 17 years prior. Big demotion. I was able to keep my job. And Mr. Adams got me a very nice settlement. I would employee Mr. Adams again if I need help and recommend his services to anyone that needs help. He is very smart and knowledgeable about the law.

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.
