    Was referred to Adam Whiteman by another attorney as Adam has experience with arbitration. Brought legal action against my partner who is an attorney. From day one Adam communicated the actions and course progress. His communication is clear, concise, and factual. He is calm and strategic in his actions. He communicated with us frequently and always took our call in a very timely manner even after hours. Adam was always conscious of keeping his hours to a minimum to avoid unnecessary costs, but never cut corners. In addition to performing his legal profession very well, he also handled our emotions during those tough times with great care and respect. He also handled my difficult partner well enough to build trust to eventually lead us to a very fair settlement. With Adam?s skills and demeanor he was able to achieve 100% satisfaction on my part.

    I (and others in our law firm) refer all of our commercial litigation to Adam. He is extremely knowledgible and experienced in handling commercial disputes, respectful of the attorney-client relationship, and I would not hesitate to recommend him for handling your commercial litigation.

    If you are buying or selling a home or have commercial property to lease, Adam is the one to call. Ive used Adam for buying real estate and leasing commercial properties. He has won every case against a business tenant. He is the most impressive attorney for this that you will find. He responds super fast even if i send him an evening email, No other attorney does that; hes super responsive and several times responds to 10 Pm or 11pm emails! He truly is a superstar attorney. He is our gold mind to win littigations and protect landlords or tenants. Its hard to find an amazing attorney, i have several commercial properties and used at least 12 attorneys in past but NON had the expertise, responsiveness and winning skills as Adam. He will write your lease in a way that protects you. Go with a winning attorney and know your in good hands.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
