Knowledgable and empathetic

Ms. Adams was able to immediately find the correct applicable case law in a recent dispute with my landlord. Our heat broke on a weekend and her quick and knowledgeable response enabled me to convince the owner of the property to remedy the lack of the heat. Without knowing what to say to him, I wo...uld have been sitting in the cold for 3 days before he was going to send someone out! In a separate (earlier) matter, she was able to provide advice on the applicability of US EE law regarding a friend of mine working outside the country for a US-based business. That advice allowed my friend to quickly fix a situation that was rapidly becoming unsafe for her. I trust Ms. Adams with any legal matter, and she is the first person I call if I ever have a question regarding the courts, prior case law, or procedure.

Case Dismissed Less than 24 hours after retaining

I was fooling around with my laptop in New York and found out that they had a warrant out for me in Fulton County, Georgia. I immediately called my attorney and she referred me to Khoshnood Law Firm. I called them and spoke to Miss Adams, then made an appointment for Wednesday, March 14, 2012, flew... in straight from New York, and came straight to the Firm, where I met Lisa and Ashley and told them about my case. Immediately, they contacted everyone who they knew could review my case. This was on 3-14-12. I got a call from Lisa and Ashley saying that my case was dismissed on 3-15-2012. I will like to say this about Lisa and Ashley: I will recommend them to anytime to anyone here or in other parts of the U.S. Thanks to Khoshnood Law Firm, and special thanks to Lisa and Ashley!

Honest and forthcoming with what to (or not to) expect. Took a case that several said not possible.

We had spoke with several lawyers about our case and numerous said it was a dead-end (to just accept the unfavorable verdict). However, Ashley provided more favorable alternatives to the case. She listened carefully to the case and diligently took notes. Afterwards, she described in detail the pos...sible paths that could be taken in lieu of accepting the unsatisfactory verdict. She explained the timeline for the process, the different steps to expect and the chance of success. The cost/money was discussed at the end once we determined the path that was best for us. The court paperwork was drawn out (to be expected when dealing with government) and Ashley was accessible the entire time. She promptly responded (within a few hours) to our inquiries and clearly explained everything --- we never felt inept. It has been 8 months since our first meeting and Ashley is still abreast of the case. We are near the end of the case (favorable outcome, we are hoping/anticipating) and we greatly appreciate Ashley assisting us.

Very Good Consultation

I would reccommend this lawyer to anybody. Most lawyers don't take the time to go through the details with you in a consultation. Ms. Adams took the time to dig into the details of my case with me. She was great on the phone before I cam into the office too. The advice she gave me was very good.

Truly professional and hard working attorney

I worked with Ashley Adams on my DUI case, and she handled it very well. The charge was reduced to reckless driving, and she was also able to use a nolo plea. This meant I would not get any point reductions on my driving record! Any time I needed information from her, or had concerns over the case, ...she was always available to assist. I highly recommend hiring her if you want an attorney that is professional, knowledgeable, and diligent.
