Personal Profile

Joseph Adams is an accomplished litigator who thrives on working with clients to set reachable goals and pursue them in a manner that suits his clients’ needs and circumstances. His combination of determined advocacy and mindful professionalism has formed the foundation of his success in a wide range of contested matters.

A straight-shooter who earns the trust of his clients and the respect of his adversaries, Joseph focuses his litigation practice on business, construction, and property disputes. He also regularly advises and represents clients in various land use matters such as special use permits, variances, and rezoning applications. In addition to his extensive experience in state and federal courts, Joseph has consistently obtained favorable results representing clients before state regulatory agencies and county and local governing boards.

Joseph is well-suited to the litigator’s dual roles of advocate and advisor. While he will not hesitate to go the distance for his clients, Joseph always looks for alternative avenues to resolve disputes when doing so aligns with his clients’ objectives and the circumstances of their cases. He understands that litigation does not occur in a vacuum but always must be seen through the lens of clients’ broader interests as well as their immediate concerns.

Always keeping his clients informed and involved, Joseph delivers frank counsel designed to provide clients with clear expectations and effective strategies. Recognizing that litigation is inherently stressful and an unnerving experience for those involved, he strives to give clients peace of mind and confidence that their matters are being handled with the utmost skill and diligence. They know that while Joseph will leave no stone unturned in his efforts on their behalf, he is always mindful of their bottom lines and is a prudent steward of their time and money.
