As an older man, and frankly, able to afford the lawyer i need at any particular time, i looked out-of-town and even out of my parish, in this instance. Because a criminal matter is about more than money, or convenience, when it's your future. I selected him for his drive and ability, & the personal attention factor. I asked around. Heard about Adams; he was highly recommended. And i see why. He's young, (has the energy) but already has the trial experience and judgment required. My outcome was excellent. Highly recommend him. Rising star in Louisiana, in my opinion.
If anyone is looking for a good defense lawyer Philip is the one he’ will fight for you until the end he’s more like family
Mr. Adams went over and beyond what a client could ask for. He was dedicated, thorough in what he wanted and pushed for the best outcome. He always answer questions clearly and made sure I knew what was going on. I was pleased at everything he did or could do and would recommend Mr. Adams’s for any court related case.
Philip was very thorough and meticulous in handling my case. Always, responsive to my calls, questions and texts. I was very pleased with Philips overall performance! Great attorney!
From the beginning of my case, Mr. Adams cared about me as if I were family. He treated me with respect and kindness. He was communicative and responsive to all of my inquiries and questions. Most importantly, he worked my case with diligence and paid extreme attention to detail, making sure no corner was left unturned in developing my defense and proving my innocence. To say that he left me impressed would be an understatement. If you are in need of a criminal defense attorney or personal injury attorney, contact Mr. Adams for the best representation. You will not find a smarter, more hardworking, and more detailed lawyer than him.
Mr. Adams is very helpful, easy to talk to, and was always available when I called. He quickly handled my case and brought it to a satisfying end. I will definitely use him again if the need arises.
My husband was arrested at work after being falsely accused of a serious crime. Mr. Adams not only got the charges dropped, but is working on having the record expunged. I can't imagine a better criminal defense lawyer.
I got myself into some trouble when I was in Shreveport on business. I live out of state in Texas. Mr. Adam's has taken care of everything for me with his legal expertise. He was great to work with, honest and straight forward. Hopefully I never have another situation like that but if I do I will hire Mr. Adam's again.
I hired Mr. Adams last October to handle a DUI 2nd offense with a BAC almost three times the legal limit combined with speeding in excess of 20 mph over the limit. Needless to say, we were sure that huge fines and jail time were inevitable. Philip was referred to us by a friend assuring us he was our very best option for the charges faced. From the moment I shook his hand, I knew we were in good hand. He explained in detail every scenario possible with the best and worst possible outcomes with complete confidence that we would need to be patient and let him do his job. During this time, he as well as him office staff, were in constant contact with us. Well by the time the court date arrived, we didn’t know what would happen but we were confident. It turns out that the DUI 2nd was reduced to a 1st offense and the other charges were reduced and/or dropped. There was no jail time, just probation and a fine. It is with absolute certainty that I would hire Philip again, but highly recommend his services to anyone who needs an Attorney with a fighting spirit to win and the empathy to put his clients at ease.
Philip helped get me out of what I thought was a hopeless situation. He's a passionate and caring guy and I felt he took personal interest in my case. Moreover, he never tried to lure us in with false promises yet still ended up delivering an outcome that was far and beyond our expectations. If you want an honest attorney who will fight for you, I can't recommend Mr. Adams enough.
