Excellent lawyer

I don't think I could come up with the words to describe how wonderful it was to work with Adam . He was efficient and productive in every part of our case. It was also very affordable. You will get more then what you pay for hiring Adam. He is always on time and gets back to phone calls and emails q...uickly. We didn't have any doubts hiring him in our child modification case. He gave us the layout of how everything could go and how much everything would cost upfront each and every time something would come up. I would refer him to everyone!

Excellent Attorney

I cannot say enough good things about Adam. We initially were with an incredibly expensive lawyer who drained our bank accounts and left me doing most of the work for our pretty brutal family law case. We chose to switch over to Adam Teal Law shortly before our trial began because of some of the issu...es we had with our former representation. We were pretty nervous switching representation so close to our final court dates, but Adam took any time we needed to put us at ease and explain everything in detail and I always felt like everything was going smoothly the whole time. We felt completely confident in his abilities at all times, and during such a stressful time in our lives, this was very important to us. Not only did Adam win our case and get us literally EVERY single thing we asked for, but he even refunded us unbilled money from our retainer! We have never experienced such a thing with a lawyer! Some of our professional witnesses in our case even went out of their way to comment to us that he was incredibly nice, professional, and personable, and also very conscientious of our finances even when we personally were not. They said he seemed genuinely passionate about making sure the best outcome for our children was gained. One of them even said they were going to start referring patients to him based on their conversations with him in our case. He has a working knowledge of the family court system that is vast, and was able to explain every step to us in a way we understood completely. One other thing that is an added bonus with Adam is his approach to paperless business. This eliminates a whole TON of paper which means no more lugging around giant files. It seems like a small thing but it really does help more than you can imagine when you are in the middle of an ongoing legal battle and essentially carry a file cabinet worth of documents with you wherever you go. We will most definitely be retaining Adam in the future if ever it becomes necessary, and we would recommend him to anyone who is seeking the best help they can find to navigate the court system. You will get excellent representation at an incredibly reasonable cost, and your worries will be eased immensely throughout the process.

Relax and give Adam Teal a call!

I most definitely recommend Mr. Adam R. Teal for any and all legal matters, and will continue to do so. Adam conducts himself with the highest degree of professionalism, while being keen enough to speak and explain things in "lamens terms". His vast legal knowledge and adept social skills, are what m...ake him a standout in his field. In all honesty, I had a lot of emotion, fear and embarrassment, with regards to my case. Adam squashed those feelings instantly and made me lighten-up on myself. He was also very patient and clear when it came to answering my myriad of questions. You can talk to this man in confidence and trust in his abilities without any fear, especially fear of ridicule or judgment... Now I know, "that is a Lawyer's job", however, Adam is extremely genuine and exactly what you need in a lawyer. Long story short, he is first-rate and can truly be counted on!

"I endorse this lawyer. He offers affordable legal services for a range of family law matters. If you want good solid work at a cost that won't impoverish you, consult with Adam. He worked for quite some time for a very experienced "old guy" local attorney before hanging out his own shingle. Also has a really enjoyable sense of humor and is very enthusiastic about Tacoma, which is always good to hear. He wants to be here, and he wants to help. A refreshing combination. - James MaGee the south puget sound "king" of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy."
