Posted by anonymous | August 21, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Amazing Work! Highly recommended!

If you are looking for an experienced, professional attorney willing to work in your best interest, look no further than Mark Adams. I was devastated when I was illegally terminated by my employer and was offered a very undesirable severance package in hopes I would sign my right to sue away for ...crumbs. Knowing that my firing was unethical, I contacted Mark who provided me all of the information I needed to know in order to move forward. He helped me every step of the way and and maintained in constant contact with their attorneys updating me after each conversation. Because of Mark’s advocation and diligence, I received almost a 500% increase to the amount I was offered. I would recommend Mark to anyone I know.

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.
