Adam L Dean

I’ve been represented by Adam for the past couple years and two words that come to mind is brilliance and professionalism. He won’t lead you on with false promises. He’s there for your best interest no matter how much trouble you got yourself in. Back in 2022 I had a drug case where Portland police s...eized $18,887 after charging me with multiple drug charges. After charges were dropped I went to Adam to help me get my money back which his claim for return of seized property was successful and the funds were returned. Now I’m in a federal indictment Adam was my first and only choice when my futures at stake. He responded and was In person the very next day ready to attack, not just defend. He’s had my best interest in and outside of jail. I never felt like just another tacked on case. Most importantly he was so kind and patient with my 80 year old grandma who called him religiously when she hadn’t heard from me in a couple days. He always assured her I was in good hands. Thank you for being in my corner. Couldn’t ask for better representation, all boxes checked.

Adam worked for the dismissal of my case for over a year and was extremely responsive every step of the way. My case was an embarrassing one for me and Adam was very professional and non judgmental. He understands that bad things happen to good people and he will fight for you even when the circumsta...nces are unusual. Adam's paralegal Dawn was an amazing help to me, she was highly sympathetic to my position and was able to catch a miscommunication that could have potentially prevented me from completing the requirements necessary for the dismissal. I'm happy to say they were successful in getting my case dismissed. I am thoroughly satisfied with the work these great people did for me and I will turn to them first in the future and highly recommend them to anyone needing legal representation.

I had a DUII conviction and did my treatment and completed it on time. However the court was requesting another 90 days of UA testing. I hired Adam and he was very transparent about how this case could have ended. He not only gave a comparing case to show that my case should be dismissed but he did s...o with the most professional way during our hearing. Because of all his hard work and extensive knowledge of the law I would highly recommend him!

Wow. Just wow. It's truly a miracle I found Adam to be my lawyer. I was arrested and charged with many serious crimes and I thought I was going to be in jail for a very long time. Adam listened to me and treated me with respect and compassion every step of the way. I didn't believe it was possible bu...t he got every single arrest and charge expunged. I can now go on to live my life and pursue my life's passion with all of this behind me. I will recommend everyone I know to Adam if they need legal help. God bless you Adam and Dawn (his paralegal who is an amazing person and is absolutely brilliant). You both went over and beyond for me. I am so blessed to have you both work with me in my case. If you are looking for a lawyer who will listen to you, treat you like family, and make the impossible possible CALL HIM! My family and I keep Adam and Dawn in our prayers every night for our thanks. Do you know many people that can say that about their lawyers? Calling Adam was the best decision I have ever made.

I was pregnant with my second child when I retained Adam for my concurrent criminal and juvenile cases. Adam advised me to take the plea offer in my criminal case. Jail time was at the discretion of the judge, but Adam assured me I would not go to jail. I took the plea offer. Then I went to jai...l. My due date was 32 days away on the date of my sentencing. On that day, I was sentenced to 30 days in jail. I had no prior record, and the prosecution didn’t even ask for jail time. But I got it anyway. The judge was not impressed by Adam’s defense. In fact, his defense probably did more harm than good. If I would have served all 30 days of my sentence, I would have had my baby in jail. (I ended up serving 24 days of my sentence. Then I went into labor three days after I was released.) I got those last few crucial days off of my sentence by transferring “across the street.” Adam didn’t know anything about this alternative jail option. Shortly after I transferred over, Adam went on vacation. He did not tell me that he was going to go on vacation, even though he had had the chance to at my sentencing hearing or when he visited me before I transferred over. Instead, I found out from Dawn, Adam’s paralegal, when I called his office after he didn’t show up when he had said he would visit me again. (My criminal case had been resolved, but my juvenile case was still ongoing, so I needed to stay in contact with Adam, especially after being sent to jail.) While nothing went horribly wrong in my juvenile case, I did not feel the high hourly rate Adam charged for his services was justified. I had had high hopes for Adam after reading all the glowing reviews of his amazing work on this site. But in the end, he proved to be a huge disappointment.
