Over the 10 months since I purchased the oven, informing them within a day that it wouldn't heat, no amount of calls, emails, letters from professional chefs, and even efforts from the BBB, resulted in a refund. In less than a week after we hired you, you were able to obtain the refund on my behalf. Your very reasonable fee was the cherry on top. My only regret is that we didn't ask for your very professional help sooner."

I normally do not leave reviews, but my experience with this attorney was extremely disappointing…read moreand financially draining. I hired her in September before reporting to prison to pursue an ineffective assistance of counsel claim against my previous attorney. During our consultation, she strongly criticized my former attorney, told me he did a terrible job, and even stated that the judge in my case was racist and that she planned to request that the judge be recused. Based on those conversations, I trusted her and paid an initial $15,000 retainer. Unfortunately, months went by and nothing meaningful appeared to happen on my case. No filings were made, no clear strategy was communicated, and I was left constantly trying to get updates on next steps. Then, after about four months, when I started asking questions, I was told I needed to pay another $15,000, which I did because I believed my case was still being worked on and time was critical. Then, only about two months before my appeal opportunity expired, I received another request for an additional $30,000. At that point, I declined. Shortly afterward, she withdrew from my case entirely and left me without representation during a critical period. My advice to anyone considering hiring any attorney is to carefully read the retainer agreement line by line and make sure every promise, strategy, or expectation discussed during consultations is clearly written into the agreement before paying large retainers. In my experience, the retainer was broad and vague and did not clearly reflect many of the things discussed during our conversations. I also strongly encourage people to do extensive research, ask detailed questions about billing practices, timelines, deliverables, and communication expectations upfront before making a hiring decision. In my personal experience, a substantial amount of money was paid with little to no meaningful progress made on my case.

I am a little delayed posting a few review of this outstanding law firm…read more I was being sued by an ex I divorced over 10 years ago. The ex wanted a piece of the pie so to speak. Long story short, ex and I absolved the marriage and I was given the two homes we owned that were financially upside down. I was told I would have to refi to remove his name within 90 days. Note: This was during the mortgage crisis timeframe so I knew the mortgage companies would work with me to refi or help remove his name. Unbeknownst to me and the court, my ex had stopped paying the mortgage on one of the houses and failed to reveal he ruined our credit. Instead of paying the mortgage for the rental as he had been doing, he stopped paying the bill and kept the rental money for himself. He then tried to sue me after 90 days because I couldn't refi-my credit was ruined by him and the mortgage companies needed time to work with me to remove his name. The courts appointed a trustee to sell one of the houses-which would cost us even more. Finally, short of my ex feeling the virtual hammer to head thoughts I had, he finally understood how much debt we would owe and agreed to remove the trustee. Fast forward many years, I pay off 150k on a second mortgage, 15k in a joint personal loan, claimed tax penalties for the rental, obtained a mortgage mod for 200k loan forgiveness and I kept up with maintenance and repairs to both properties. Then my ex refused to sign off on the mortgage mod so he could be removed from the deed and mortgage. Suddenly the modification was ending, property values began increasing and I was finally able to refinance. Instead my ex hit me with contempt charged because he wants his share. The ex claimed he was told he had a rock solid case. I then hire a local attorney in Prince Frederick that advised me, it will be hard but we will try to work out a deal with the ex. I offered to help the ex pay for his tax audit (note to ex: never cheat on your taxes) but I refused to give him anything else for his personal tax situation! In despair over possibly owing my ex money or him forcing a sale, I finally called a friends sister who is a local attorney. She told me my case wasn't her specialty but she recommended Jay Erly. I quickly met with Jay and he asked Lisa Pryor to represent me--we won my case hands down! My counter contempt spelled out clearly and concisely the hell my ex had been trying to put me through. It also demanded that if I was forced to sell, my ex would have to pay me Crawford Credits for every dime I paid for the properties including termite, electrical, cable, repairs, maintenance, etc. Basically, he would owe me four times the amount of money he was seeking from me (lol). Always keep your receipts (I had a huge filing drawer full of receipts.) If you know in your heart of hearts you are right, find a good firm that works with you and proves you are right. I highly recommend this firm!

From the day we were notified he died, the law firm was extremely helpful in answering questions for us. We live in New York and were not able to get to Maryland for three weeks due to severe weather conditions. All our calls and emails were promptly and professionally answered, which gave us time to get many things accomplished from home until we were able to travel to Maryland. We asked if they could recommend a good real estate agent, we didn't want to pick one at random. We were told the founder of Adams Law Office, Suren Adams, is also the founder of Adams Realty and they would put us in touch with someone. Soon after, Suren Adams called us about the sale of the house. We asked her to meet us at the house during our visit so we could list the property with her. We had a good discussion, during which she recommended an excellent clean out company and made an appointment for them to meet us at the house to arrange for the clean out. Suren arrived for our appointment with all the necessary paperwork, made some notes about the property and explained the process to us. Honestly, not only were we very impressed, but she seemed so friendly and personable, it was like talking to a friend. We contacted her after the clean out was complete. She hired a contractor to make cosmetic renovations to prepare the house for sale. The house looked amazing! Once we received an offer, she explained the steps required prior to the closing and guided us every step of the way. We felt reassured having a lawyer as a real estate broker to go over all the documents of the sale. Everything was explained in phone calls and emails. Even though we live in another state we had complete peace of mind and total trust and confidence in Suren's handling of the property. I cannot say enough good things about the Adams Law Office and Adams Realty firms. It's clear to me, from our personal experience, that both firms, under the leadership of Suren Adams, strive for excellence and are very attentive to their clients needs. I highly recommend using their professional services without hesitation. If I have one regret, it's that we live in New York and will not be able to use the Adams Law Office to execute a Trust for our family.
