    He got those charges dropped and brought my family back happiness
    I don't know where to start, Adam helped my husband get out of two charges of second degree felony serious crime, punishable by up to 15 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. We never had to be in court; Mr. Adam took care of the entire procedure alone and asked us to focus on living our lives. Without a doubt he is the best of the best. Whenever we had a question he was there to answer. He got those charges dropped and brought my family back happiness. Thank you very much; I recommend you 100%. I never doubted your professionalism and today it is more than proven. Thanks to Adam and his team, today my husband was free of all charges without having to go to trial in just months.
    Nancy Hernández
    Adam is a beast for results
    Adam is a beast when it comes to getting the results. I was facing a felony charge, and he helped me to get the entire case dismissed. My previous attorney wanted me to do 90 days in jail for a crime I didn’t commit. Thank you, Adam. I’m forever grateful.
    Marvelous Valentine
    Charge Dropped
    This guy is on another level in terms of criminal defense. He helped where no one else would. He listened to my concerns, and about the case law I studied while in jail for a life felony. Needless to say, I am free and clear. Charge dropped.
    Justin Earll
    He is the best of the best
    Adam was able to take a felony charge and get it dropped. He is the best of the best. He is a true professional that knows the system and takes care of his clients. His costs are far less than other lawyers. I could not imagine anybody representing a client better than him. I most strongly recommend ADL Law to anybody. You will not be disappointed.
    William Gerhart
    Adam was amazing
    Adam was amazing. I was arrested for a charge from Walmart for 41.00 dollars. I have prior. The state attorney wanted a lot of things. He got it down to 12 months probation, 80 hours community service. I would recommend Adam. He is very understanding and caring.
    Theresa Donnelly
    I know I made the right choice hiring Mr. Les.
    ADL Law was very helpful in resolving my case. Mr. Les discussed my options and was very thorough. No need to go to trial as he spoke with the prosecutor and had the case dropped to a fine. I can now carry on with my life with no worries. I know I made the right choice hiring Mr. Les. Again, thank you for your dedication and service to my case. —Peter.

    Eden Agnew
    Highly recommend Adam from ADL Law
    Recently used Adam Less from ADL Law. Highly recommend him. He has a commanding courtroom presence and is quick-thinking. He knows what he’s seeking and many layers deep should his first request not be granted. I wish I’d had used him during my initial court case, I might not have needed him for probation modification! Thanks, Adam!
    MJ
    Charges Dropped Without Court Appearance
    I reached out to Adam after a misdemeanor battery charge. He was compassionate, informative of the entire process, and immediately reassured me that things would work out, bringing me a peace of mind I didn’t think I could have at that time in my life. He answered all of my questions, worries, and text messages at all hours of the day and worked fast and efficiently getting my charges dropped. I never had to step foot in a courtroom! I truly can't thank him enough 🙏

He approached my son’s case with confidence and always made sure I felt informed and reassured throughout the process. No matter how small or seemingly insignificant my questions were, he answered them with clarity and respect, never once making me feel overwhelmed. Adam kept me calm during the most stressful moments, helping me stay focused and guiding me on what I needed to do to support my son. His communication was impeccable, constantly keeping me updated on every development. Thanks to Adam’s dedication and expertise, my son avoided jail time, and for that, I am forever grateful. Adam’s professionalism extends beyond his legal skills. He is fair and flexible when it comes to payments, which made the process easier to navigate.

    Adam Less is an amazing attorney
    Adam Less is an amazing criminal attorney. He is nothing but strategic, honest, straight to the point about everything but also treats you like an actual human being. Mr. Less was extremely understanding in the financial part of my case as well by allowing me to have a payment plan. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with a criminal case no matter the crime. Thanks again to everyone at ADL Law in Stuart, Florida.

    Got the charges dropped
    To be accused of a crime you didn't commit is terrifying. Thank God, someone gave me the number for ADL Law. Molly and her staff are wonderful. Attention to detail and got the charges dropped. Thank you for making a stressful and very sad experience as smooth as you did. Molly, TY from the bottom of my heart!
    Peter Villasuso
    Extremely professional team player
    Honestly couldn’t be more grateful for Adam & his team in assisting my fiancé in getting through his case. Extremely professional and definitely a team player. When this all happened in October of '23 I started looking for an attorney, called around, and lots of places told me extremely outrageous prices and empty promises. But Adam’s office was superior with their prices compared to anyone else with an affordable payment plan too. Not once did I have any broken promises from Adam. He would try & succeed. Highly recommend him and his team to anyone who needs help.

    Awesome Attorney He Saved My Life
    Awesome attorney, he saved my life. Great job, Adam, and his prices are affordable and nice. Respectful, always answers his cellphone even after hours and keeps you updated. Promise you won’t be disappointed. This is the best lawyer for a criminal case because he used to be an officer himself, so he knows about them crooks lol.
    charlynn marseille
    Highly recommended, five stars.
    Adam did an amazing job assisting me with rescinding a warrant without my presence as I am now an out-of-state resident. Quick response time, and affordable pricing. He has worked with both my friends and family on resolving cases. Highly recommended, five stars for sure.
    Zachary Maxwell
    Truly Grateful for Adam's Help
    I got into a terrible situation. Went to Adam for help. He was the nicest person to me and really helped calm my nerves. He explained everything to me in terms I was able to understand thoroughly. I needed things done this way at the time. In furtherance, Adam and his staff contacted me every step of the way with minute details for the case. Again, I felt protected and secure in every action for my case. Things worked out as good as possible. And that is solely because of Adam. I cannot thank him and his staff enough. Truly grateful. I would recommend Adam until the end of my days…

    Exceptional Legal Guidance!
    Exceptional Legal Guidance and Expertise! I recently had the privilege of working with Attorney Adam Less, and I must say that his professionalism, combined with his background as a police officer, truly set him apart. From the moment we engaged his services, it was evident that we were in capable hands. AND, we had his cell phone number to contact him directly as needed. Adam's extensive experience brings a unique perspective to his legal practice. His insight into law enforcement matters greatly contributed to our confidence in his ability to navigate our case effectively. His dedication to upholding the law and ensuring justice was palpable throughout the entire process. Not only did Adam demonstrate a high level of expertise, but his strategic approach and attention to detail were instrumental in achieving a mutual outcome for our case, that could have ended up much worse. He guided us through the complexities of the legal system with clarity and professionalism, making us feel supported at every step. I highly recommend Attorney Adam Less to anyone seeking legal representation. His combination of legal knowledge, law enforcement background, and commitment to his clients truly makes him stand out. Thank you, Adam and team, for your outstanding service and the positive resolution you secured for us.

    Adam fights very hard for his clients
    Adam Less was amazing. My son was back in jail for violation of probation, and I was really worried that he would be there for a long time. He helped us through the entire process, answered my questions, and gave us good solid advice. My son is not serving anywhere near the amount of time I was expecting. He fights very hard for his clients. His hearing was this morning, and in 11 days he will be free from everything including probation. Adam's fees were also reasonable. Thank you for everything, Adam!!

    Case Dismissed in 24 Hours
    We were seeking representation for a criminal case involving elderly relatives. We did not feel the charges were accurate; however, it did not appear favorable to us. We contacted ADL Law because of high recommendations from other law offices. Adam and Alyssa recognized our need for urgency and took immediate action toward resolution. They were understanding, professional, knowledgeable, and well-connected within the legal system. They were able to have our case dismissed within 24 hours of our initial discussion. We are forever grateful for their representation. We highly recommend ADL Law.

    Outcome was favorable
    I called five different law firms, and two were referrals, and was basically ignored as my case was a misdemeanor but would affect my employment. I called ADL out of desperation, and Adam called me back the same day. I could hear he was busy and yet made time. He actually listened patiently and told me exactly what my options were and what he could do. The outcome of my case was favorable, and the limited time I spent with Adam he was very personable and professional. I will recommend ADL to my family, friends, and to you.
    Rob Magrath
    Professional and Knowledgeable Team
    I am a local attorney, and I endorse and recommend Adam and his team for any criminal lawyer matter. Adam and his team are very professional and knowledgeable. I have personal knowledge of matters that Adam has handled that ended in a favorable result!
    Sarina Sabatino
    ADL for the win!
    I referred a close friend to ADL Law. His case was handled with the utmost diligence and ended with the fairest outcome—that didn’t result in a guilty conviction. Adam works hard for his clients and works with an exceptional amount of passion. He is honest in his work and honest with his clients. Don’t choose an attorney based on the promises of their slogans, but really understand who you have on your team. Hire someone whose work ethic and record match the words that come out of their mouth. ADL for the win!
