Adam William Bompadre

He will take your money, and not show up to court, and completely screw you. I was in Chester County on a probation violation charge, that was a mistake, wasn't hard for another lawyer to clear up, and rather quickly I might add. . . But because of Adam Bompadre I ended up sitting for a few ex...tra months, he stole $4500 from my sickly mother and after not showing up to my hearing ( which had horrible ramifications ) then visit me in County Jail to tell me to my face that he will not be giving back my mother's payment, even though he failed to appear at the hearing and never did anything, file no paper work, never answered his phone after being paid, he did absolutely nothing. . .After he decided to not show up for my hearing, which postponed my date, WHILE I was in jail, because could not bail since it was technically a probation violation. SO I sat in County Jail for 2 extra months all because he decided to NOT to show up to my hearing he was paid $4500 to defend me at, by my mother who was desperately trying to help me. Then my Father paid another lawyer I had told him about, who I heard about in the jail. And whom I'd highly recommend. And, guess what. . . I was out the next day. . . He just stole $4500 dollars from a award winning sickly, retired teacher of disable and autistic kids her entire life at Devereux. . . I will put my e-mail address at the bottom just in case, anyone has questions about him, or my experiences with him, or my opinion whether or not you should hire him. Oh, which by the way is a big, resounding. NO. And I guarantee those "positive" 2 reviews at the top of this site by anonymous people. Are completely fake and done by him himself most likely. I am very sure he doesn't defend anyone, he just takes money and runs...BEWARE of Adam Bompadre! He is a scam artist, and here I got the document later what my mother signed was about 12 pages saying in small print a numerous amount of times, absolutely randomly, at the end and sometimes middle of each paragraph. "You will not be refunded" . . . So we never tried getting the money back once me and my Father read that. . . [email protected]

The only 2 visits i had with him was to sign payment agreement. Showed up to court on one occasion with his kid. The few times i met with him he stated " he had to make it quick cause he was tight on time". When i voiced my concern about his demeanor towards my case he simply took my money withdrew f...rom my cases and missed a hearing scheduled in July for Bucks co. Resulting in a warrant being issued while i was incarcerated. Never sign a fee agreement with him cause he WILL just walk away with your money and leave you out to dry when it matters most. The last 8400 we paid him and all he did was file a motion and withdraw. You can get service like that for free from the public defenders office! He also has no problem breaking client confidentiality openly on the internet.

I hired Adam to represent my son in a combination of criminal charges. He charges by the case, not by the hour. Initially all appeared to be on the up & up as promised, but for the money spent all we got out of him were the proper document filing pertaining to the (2) cases he was retained for and th...en nothing after that. He tried spinning a story that due to the Covid 19 pandemic there would be no court appearances, and that everything within the legal system had been put on hold. Meanwhile, my son acquires more charges for failure to appear in court, and the representation by Adam did not occur. I want to clarify one thing right now, most of the court proceedings during this time were being held via video, and Adam couldn't even do that; he was too busy sitting back with his brand new red Nike's telling my son & I that with the pandemic there was no rush to move forward with the cases. So, unless you have disposable income and you know for a fact that your only outcome will be a guilty as charged, but need over-priced representation, Then this is your attorney. Meanwhile, I ended up hiring another REAL lawyer who not only physically helped to move the cases thru the judicial system, but did so quickly & efficiently. Bottom line, I'm out the initial money laid out to file a few documents by Adam, and I'm out the money laid out again to cover another lawyer's efforts which included following thru with additional charges that were directly caused by Adam Bompadre's no-show performance. Thanks for nothing.
