Great employment lawyer!

I did my research and I found Mr. Adams. He helped me with my case. I was always kept updated and responded quickly with any questions. He represented me very well and I would recommend to friends and family or anybody who wants a great lawayer with experience.

Thank you

I want to thank this man for his education, work experience, and time. I would recommend him to anybody that is willing to stand up for themeselves and to anybody that is willing to communicate to him effectively for positive ending results.

Excellent Knowledge and Service

Unfortunately I was tasked with the need to take action against an employer regarding several situations involving discrimination and relatliatory acts which ultimately led to my pre-emptive separation from the company. I had an open claim which ultimately became a right to sue. I hired Mark Adams to... take action for me. Mark took care of filing the needed paperwork, claims handling and guidance throughout the entire process. He was friendly, responsive and had the foresight to see my claim through to an amicable result for me and my former employer without the need to go to trial. I would highly recommend Mark for his legal expertise, professionalism, savvy at negotiations. The way he handled my claim made the actions convenient to pursue.

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.

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.
