Sexual Harrasment

After having a major problem at work and having 3 Attorneys turn me down, Mark was the only one to believe in me. He demonstrated the upmost professionalism, and truly showed he cared not only about the case, but about my well-being by always asking how I was doing. I had always been overwhelmed ...by lawyers, but Mark made it very easy to gain my trust! I really appreciated that he always kept me in the loop with everything that was happening as well as making sure everything was handled in a timely manner. I also appreciated that he was always available to me if I had any questions or doubts which would only be temporary because he would always reassure me that I was doing the right thing by standing up for myself. By doing so, this helped me gain confidence I did not have- so thank you again for that Mark! He flew down to Orange County to be with me during my deposition and made sure I wasn’t nervous by talking with me and making sure I was prepared for what to expect. This helped so much as I was worried of feeling triggered, but having him next to me was very calming. Once it came down to settlement, Mark made it so that the opposing team did not take advantage of me and that I get the Justice I deserved. I am so thankful that I found Mark, because if it wasn’t for him I would not be able to have my peace of mind back. I will always be indebted to him as I am now on a better mental journey! Thank you so much, Mark! Please do yourself a favor and hire the most experienced, professional, and tough when you need him to be— Mr. Mark Adams!

Excellent Advocate!

Mark Adams had proven his possessions of strong client-lawyer relationship skills as evidenced by exhibiting his compassion and effective communication regarding my unresolved case. He can be trusted and empowered easily with his knowledge and practice in the employment law. He was mostly available... when I have questions or concerns. He also proved his skills to deliver positive outcomes that he spent all of his efforts in my case. I would refer anyone to him if I know someone who claimed employment issues and disputes that need to be addressed in the near future. I was so grateful and relieved to have his representation for my case!

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.

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.
