The Best

I was hit by a car while being a pedestrian and needed help to assist me through this very scary, emotional time of my life. I retained Adam who did a magnificent job from start to finish. He was sensitive, available and kept me informed. He always had my best interest in the forefront. Lara was also... a great help complimenting Adam's efforts in getting me the maximum settlement. If your looking for the best attorney to represent you, then call Adam.

Awesome Top Notch Personal Injury Lawyer

I retained Adam Sorrells in my personal injury case where I was hit as a pedestrian. He was able to get a policy limits settlement with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. He then opened an under-insured motorist claim with my insurance company, and got an additional $85,000 policy limits settle...ment with them. He also got them to pay the medical payments out, and not reduce my settlement by the medical payments. He dealt with the lien holders, made sure all of my bills were paid, and I got a big check in my pocket as well. Mr. Sorrells was very professional and caring, and I was very happy with him. I highly recommend him. I give him the highest 5 star review possible. Kyle H.

A Trustworthy Advocate and Guide

Adam Sorrells helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. He was calm, knowledgeable, persistent and empathic as he helped me to file a lawsuit to obtain some compensation for the multiple injuries and PTSD I sustained after being attacked and almost killed pitbulls. He and his staff we...re always there to help if I had any questions and helped me to understand complex interactions of the justice system and health insurance companies. They also helped me obtain support from state victim funds. I am still unable to work and continue to need medical care. Fortunately, Adam won the suit for me and I'm able to get the help I need. If any of my friends or family needed a personal injury lawyer, I would immediately refer them to Adam.

Compassionate and Effective

When my partner was nearly killed in a vicious dog attack, my world turned inside out. I was so traumatized and overwhelmed by the incident. Adam was a tremendous advocate and support over the past year. He helped us walk through all the complicated medical bills, insurance companies, victim witne...ss and legal details. He was compassionate and professional. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and steady presence throughout the lawsuit. His office staff are also wonderful. I highly recommend him.

Accident with a silver lining

There just isn't enough words that I can say about Mr. Sorrells. He was professional like lawyers you see on tv, but what you don't see on tv is that he is a kind, caring,and a easy person to talk to. He took a tragic situation and went above and beyond the call of duty. My husband was in a life cha...nging accident which left him with not only short term memory loss and constant headaches but also a back surgery that he had to go through in order to be able get up and some what function as a person. He has 10 titanium pieces in his back. It also left us with no hope for the future. My husband lost his job because he couldn't preform his job in construction which also left with basically no job that he can function at to this day. I also lost my job while trying to take care of him for he could not be left alone and our son lost half of his senior year taking care of his father. Adam was there every step of the way. Giving us the hand holding when we needed it and the motivation speeches at our darkest hours. Our lives stopped on 1/7/09. Everything changed but what didn't change was Adam and his determination to help us. We almost lost our home we were in foreclosure and I have to say Adam was our HERO. He came up to see us which is 30 mins. away from his office to talk to us. He would personally email and call us on the phone to see how we were doing and his assistant was just as amazing. I never felt like we ( my husband and me ) were alone. When you think about lawyers ,lawsuits maybe money if your lucky coming to you in the end it doesn't really seem to matter because all you see is a dark hole with no end. Adam was our silver lining he was more then we could have asked for and I'm grateful everyday of my life for his knowledge and know how. His ability to stand strong and not back down and he doesn't take no for an answer.
