“Adam is a well respected, knowledgeable and actively involved attorney in the community. I met Adam when he was starting out in his legal career and I am happy to say he has distinguished himself as a litigator and earned praise in legal publications and among other lawyers. In addition to being knowledgeable, he is also a very personable attorney who helps other attorneys with answers to legal issues they may have. I would feel comfortable referring my clients to Adam.”

“Adam represented me in my purchase of a stake in an existing business.
He did a thorough job of asking me questions about the company and my prospective business partners. He then reviewed the proposed Shareholder Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement. He pointed out all of my potential areas of concern (which were both numerous and significant as a minority shareholder) and consulted me on them.
After our discussions, Adam crafted language that effectively represented my interests, but that was in line with the sensibilities of the other parties involved. He made sure that I did not expose myself and my family to any unreasonable risk, and balanced that with my desire to negotiate with my prospective partners in a non-combative spirit.
In the end, we were able to close the deal quickly with it being a win for everyone involved. Adam’s knowledge and skill as an attorney combined with his responsive service helped make this transaction a positive experience for me.
I will definitely hire Adam again for any related or similar legal work.”
ROB ON AVVO

I have great respect for Attorney Adam Whitney.“
