This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Went above and beyond

Adam was very helpful assisting me draft a lease for my home. His effort was likely worth more than what I paid for it. I will use his services in the future.

Expertise in Real Estate Contracts.

I am a Real Estate broker and have been fortunate to have had Adam Morrow review some of the challenging contracts that banks are now writing. With a lot of properties being short sales and bank owned property it is imperative to have an attorney review the paperwork. Banks are writing contracts t...hat are very one sided and Adam is very patient in explaining to potential buyers their risks, and often has been fortunate to have changed some of the language on the contract to protect the buyer. Along with Adam's integrity, thoroughness, and compassion, Adam has a great sense of humor and can often relieve some of the tension with his witty sense of humor. If you have any challenging situations in Real Estate I would recommend highly in contacting Adam. He will be able to give you some good advise.

Superior experience working with an attorney

Adam Morrow made my experience with the legal system stress-free . He was available to answer my layman's questions clearly and always responded in a timely fashion. Adam was very knowledgable about the medical implications of my injuries and was able to secure a fair settlement to compensate for my... damages. I felt Adam was very efficient and organized in settling my case that involved two defendants. I would refer Adam Morrow to anyone needing an excellent litigator.

Satisfied & happy client

I live in a rental house and had an accident due to deferred maintenance, falling through the rotten wood on the deck. The landlord reported to his homeowners insurance after a week delay. I have no private health insurance at this time. I felt I was dropping through the cracks of Western Medical &... Insurance Adjusters, no one was looking out for me and in this situation my voice was not being heard. I was referred to Adam Morrow Attorney. He came highly recommended for getting results. My knee was badly damaged with a torn meniscus, causing intense pain, time off work and a nightmare of being refused being seen by 3 different Orthopedic Surgeons due to the fact that most hospitals,clinics & private doctors do not take 3rd party insurance because of the chance of long wait time for pay out, chance of litigation, court time, etc. Mr. Morrow was professional, pleasant,clear, very responsive and explained every nuance of each step we took. I have never had an attorney work with me so I was new to the whole concept. Adam calmed my fears, he worked with the insurance adjuster in a timely manner. I waded though x-rays, Doppler, MRI, paying for all this myself. My bank account was drained, I was in constant pain & would/could not be seen by a surgeon due to the litigation. I was told this several times by the billing offices of several Orthopedic offices. Going in circles, ran out of money for doctors or surgery, 3rd party insurance is the kiss of death when asked who was paying for any appointment I tried to get with any hospital or clinic. Unbelievably between a rock & a hard place. Mr. Morrow was able to finesse an early substantial settlement so I could afford to see the correct Doctor & be correctly diagnosed for surgery. Mr. Morrow worked a miracle. He kept me updated,checked facts, gave me wise consul & had good relations with the homeowners insurance agent because he was able to work out a very decent settlement on my behalf. I would highly recommend Mr. Morrow. From start to finish he took charge & I felt championed by a caring, smart, knowing professional. Wise consul indeed.

Great overall experience with this lawyer

Adam is a highly effective attorney who happens to be a high quality person as well. He assisted me back in 2000 with a legal matter involving someone trying to take advantage of me by not paying off a debt. His actions to help resolve the matter can be characterized as prompt, diligent, thorough, an...d effective. His expertly crafted response showed great knowledge of legal communication and produced immediate results. I have had occasion to contact him about other legal matters and he has always provided professional, intelligent counsel. With Adam as your attorney you get the benefit of dealing with a person of high integrity, who is extremely personable, and who will go to bat for you with dogged determination."
