About

I have devoted my adult life to preparing and practicing criminal defense law.  The time I spent as an Assistant District Attorney was to gain experience for my private practice.  My children have followed in my footsteps and as a result my son practices criminal law with me and my daughter is a prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney's Office.  People often ask me when I plan to retire.  I say to them, "Why? I love working with my kids and I live for the everyday challenge of protecting the constitutional rights of the accused.  Advanced trial and people skills can only be developed thru years of of waging the good fight for clients in the courtroom. I have enjoyed my duties as Adjunct Professor of Criminal Law and Procedure at San Jacinto College and I take every opportunity possible to mentor young lawyers who are trying to learn our complicated and important system of justice.

Mr. Adamo came highly recommended from a prominent Houston lawyer. He is "the lawyer that lawyers hire". He successfully had my charges dismissed and so I also recommend him now. I was arrested and charged with a felony when a dog sniffed my car and found a few edibles and a THC oil pen. This was in small county in west Texas and my chances of dismissal did not look promising. Mr. Adamo and his team were able to get the felony charges completely dismissed. Thanks to Mr. Adamo I still have a promising career to look forward to.

I faced a criminal charge that called for an experienced lawyer. I didn't plan on finding a compassionate one too. ADAMO/ADAMO is all about winning and they set about doing just that. After months of fighting for him, the prosecution finally caved and dismissed the case. One of the happiest days of my life thanks to Sam Adamo Sr. and Sam Adamo Jr. I recommend them to anyone wanting an experienced and compassionate lawyer fighting on your behalf.

Sam Adamo SR. and JR. are two of the best lawyers in Houston. Reasonably priced and they will get you better results than you expected. I have used the adamo firm 2 times now and the service could not have been any better!

There's a reason why this law firm has so many great reviews, and that's simply because they are great at what they do. I sought out Mr. Adamo's (Sr.) law firm on behalf of my mother, who was facing potential time in prison for violating her probation. Fortunately, Adamo was able to avoid that result and instead got her back home to her family much sooner than anyone could have expected. Adamo came through for my family during a very difficult time, and for that we are all extremely grateful. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, skilled, and affordable, Adamo is your guy.

I called Adamo law firm, within 15 minutes Sam performed his magic, removing our stress and anxiety. He completely resolved all issues! Having met earlier in my life both Percy Forman and Richard RaceHorse Haynes, Sam's expertise and knowledge of the law was far beyond any of my expectations! Sam Adamo is a true TEXAS HERO!

I had some questions regarding criminal issues. Sam Adamo, with ADAMO/ADAMO was referred to me by my business attorney. All I can say is I was overwhelmed by Sam Adamo's professionalism and knowledge of the law. I recommend ADAMO/ADAMO to anyone who wants a lawyer with the legal knowledge and trial experience required to win any case! His office includes Sam Adamo Jr., a top attorney in his own right, as well as paralegals and investigators. They know all the Judges and prosecutors and move about the courthouse like sharks in the ocean.

First and foremost I do not write reviews or blog unless I have received exceptional service which is rare. My daughter was in serious trouble and I knew Sam Adamo was just the lawyer to get her out of it. I had heard from many well respected professionals that Sam Adamo was the best in Houston and they are correct. I feared that my daughter would have serious charges along with her DWI and they were dropped. When I tell my family friends what we endured and the excellent defense Sam Adamo provided with a sense of urgency they were shocked. We all have friends in similar situations that didn't have a successful outcome and that being said I am absolutely grateful to have had Sam Adamo and his son Sam Adamo Jr on our case. Not only did I get exceptional service from Sam Adamo Sr I had the privilege of having Sam Adamo Jr by our side. We needed further investigation and Sam Adamo Jr was prompt and was able to deliver. We couldn't have afforded to go to trial and their defense protected my daughter from having to. I have referred my family and friends and will continue to spread the word Sam Adamo Sr and Sam Adamo Jr are the absolute best in the business I still to this day call for legal advice and never get disappointed I receive answers immediately. Thank you Adamo/Adamo!!!
