Mark Adams is a fantastic attorney. He represented me during my divorce. I was well supported and satisfied with the outcome. Mark is a very reasonable person and knows the court system well. He is honest and acts with integrity. I trust him. I hope to never have to use him again, but if I did have a legal situation, I would contact Mark in a heartbeat.
He also has the most amazing paralegal working with him; she is second to none.

You could make a movie out of the adventure and heartache Mark and I went through! The best thing about Mark is that he tells you the ugly 'truth' even if it scares some of the weaker folk off. After talking with many attorneys for my child custody case, he was the one that stuck out for me because he was telling me the truth I didn't like, but needed to hear.
And Mark was up front with me how my case was sitting when I first hired him. I thought it was good, but in reality it wasn't really all that good, and he said the way I was handling it was making it worse. So with some deep introspection of myself, I heeded Mark's advice, upped my game as a parent, and my attitude with the law.
This really paid off when my son's mother took her insanity to the next level. I'm not going to go into great detail, but the mother was a pathological liar trying to spread the most horrible lies as a plot to alienate my son against me (feel free to use your imagination...it was the worst). This was through endless threatening motions, false police reports, conning other men to replace me as the father, daycares, fake CPS reports, etc., etc. She said the sickest stuff that came to her psycho brain about me without any filter or consideration. A true psychopath we were up against.
However, Mark won EVERY court battle against her. She even went through 5+ attorneys in order to sell her lies and Mark whipped them all and exposed her bull#$% for what it really was.
And when the mom realized she was losing her custody with her antics (she went from full custody, to joint custody, to NO custody), as a desperate finale move; she abducted my boy internationally across the world coercing me into giving up my parental rights! Otherwise, she wouldn't return him!
With some tactful 'negotiating' with attorneys, the courthouse, and even the DA (unheard of for a civil attorney!!!) Mark was able to play 'let's make a deal' with the mom to convince her and drop certain things to convince her in bringing my son back (the country she took him to wasn't even under the Hague convention!). Mark was able to deal with the mom in subtle legal ways only HE knew about where he was then able to restore all my parental rights she coerced me out of right after she returned him!!! For all intensive purposes, that abusive psychopath of a pitiful excuse of a mother is out of our lives finally and will go to jail!
In my final statements, Mark is not after your pocketbook, he is not there to sell you false hope (or false pessimism either), and most importantly, Mark is a wicked attorney who is also a MORAL human being. I am a poor SOB, and Mark did a lot of work for free (he only does this for me btw ;P ) because it was the RIGHT THING. Mark knows how to expose the morality out of the law and gives our legal system honor. That's what the law is about. The law is not about playing games, but to deliver ethics. Mark is the best legal representation money can buy.
Thank you very much Mark,

Mark missed specifics of my case and didn't prepare for meetings. I came in to meet with him early ahead of a meeting where we were hoping to settle the case. He was on the phone with a potential client and blowing smoke up their backside. Consequently he never heard what I wanted and was willing to agree to and we did not get to settlement.

Mark was about the 4th or 5th lawyer I called about a year ago because I was having trouble finding a lawyer to trust. Each one gave me the feeling like they were trying to 'sell me a car' or 'fear-goating' me into hiring them. Mark didn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling (he actually kinda made me feel like a dumb child, haha), but he DID just told me what the certain realities of the situation is point blank from the mechanisms of the law with no sugar coating. - That was the type of lawyer I was going for.
Anyway, I just got out of court today where my ex was coming up with all these egregious lies to try and put a restraining order on me to hamper my parenting time with my son. Mark was really tough on me of how I should be handling my ex in the eyes of the law when she threatens me with lies like this (i.e. not to engage with her), and showed me where I f*cked on the way (this is the part where I felt like a child being taught a lesson by a parent), and it's a lesson hardly earned! I now have the confidence to not respond to my ex when she tries to intimidate me, and I get to see my son tomorrow thanks to him!!!!

Mark Adams does not have a fancy website. He does not have a giant yellow pages add. I have used his services for over 5 years now and I can tell you there is no better family attorney in northern Colorado. When Mark argues my points in court, Im always left feeling that I could not have said it better myself. If Mr. Adams told me the sky is falling I would be sure to duck, because he has been nothing but honest with me throughout all of my experience with him. Wile I watched my ex pay a fortune in legal fees only to lose on every occasion, I was paying almost half of what it cost her with twice the counsel. My biggest advise to attorney seekers, Hire Mark Adams, quickly before your ex reads this and does.
