Pros
1
Effective communication and negotiation skills that can help reach favorable settlements without going to court
“Adam was able to meet with both my ex-to-be and I at one point to assure my ex that it was not his nor my intent to propose anything unfair, he reviewed the facts and laws with her, and earned her trust enough that we quickly agreed to settlement and custody terms without a mediator or court appearance.”
2
Thorough understanding of the law and ability to provide clear legal advice
“Through referring counsel Adam had already been briefed on my case and within minutes of our initial conversation I was able to sense his understanding of not only the law but how it related and applied to the unusual nature of my particular case.”
3
Diligent and effective litigation skills in the courtroom
“Adam is very confident, thorough, well prepared and comfortable in his grasp of the law. These great attributes became obvious in the courtroom where Adam is an extremely effective litigator.”
Cons
1
Lack of communication and responsiveness to client inquiries
“I have used many attorney's throughout my life, and I have never received or seen such poor communication by an attorney! He ignored emails and phone calls (from me) for months at a time.”
2
Failure to provide comprehensive legal advice and explore all options
“I am now having to take my ex-husband back to court for a new settlement because the one that Mr. Astley bartered for me was, as far as I am concerned, awful. I personally have never had such a terrible experience and outcome with someone in a professional line of work in my life.”
3
Inability to properly advise and represent the interests of out-of-state and military clients
“Communication with him was delayed and he would not adjust to the 8-9 hour time difference I had. Email communication was not acceptable to him despite the time difference. 2 years after the fact I am learning where he failed to properly advise (parenting time for me as an out of state military guy for start).”
