We want to hear from you, but before you click the “ACCEPT” button below, please be aware of the following:

Sending an email to Adams and Reese LLP does not create an attorney-client relationship.  We do not accept client representations by email.  We do not treat unsolicited information received by email from our website as confidential.

If you are contacting us about a possible representation, we cannot represent you until we know that we would not have a conflict of interest.  Please do not send us any information about a potential representation until you communicate with one of our lawyers by telephone or in person about representation.

In the legal world, like the real world, each day brings its own set of challenges and issues. I enjoy assisting my clients in navigating challenges and issues by effectively communicating and advocating for their best interests in hopes of achieving the best possible outcome.
