Verified ClientHired Attorney 2017Adam represented me in my divorce proceedings and I would highly recommend his services. From the initial consultation onward and throughout the matter, his kindness and reassuring manner were very comforting and it was clear that he genuinely cares about his clients. He explained the process to me in detail and answered all of my questions patiently and thoroughly. The matter went as smoothly as I could have wished for under the circumstances. Adam was highly knowledgeable and responsive and the documentation which he prepared facilitated an agreement between me and my ex-spouse which ultimately saved us a significant amount of time and money. Right up until the final court date, he was professional and courteous and I would not hesitate to make use of his services again for any other legal matter in the future.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2015I would definitely give the highest recommendation for Adam L. Seidel to anyone who is in need of an attorney. Adam's knowledge, expertise, tenacity, attention to detail, and professionalism are superb. He always keeps his client well informed on the current status of his legal situation and treats his clients with courtesy and respect. Adam also communicates very well with client families. I was unconstitutionally imprisoned for five and a half years and if it were not for Adam Seidel's excellence in negotiation and litigation I would still be in prison. During that time Adam had to go to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals twice on my appeal, winning both times. His legal briefs were to the point, contained appropriate references to current case law, and made the arguments that were needed to be successful. Adam simply gets the job done. In addition, Adam's attitude is supportive and yet he keeps his client communications realistic and does not make unreasonable promises as to what may happen with the case. He and his staff deliver complete confidence that they are doing everything that can be done for his client.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2015Adam is a conscientious attorney who helped me with my child support case. He used his expertise and advised me in a professional and realistic matter as to what to expect. I felt like he took excellent care of me and also set realistic expectations as to the cost associated with this modification. I appreciated that immensely. We were able to produce results from this and it was in a very timely manner. I have recommended him to several people...all of which have thanked me and been equally as complimentary of his work.
