According to Benchmark, the “Local Litigation Star” ranking recognizes “individuals who were recommended consistently as reputable and effective litigators by clients and peers.”

His jury verdicts have been profiled by the National Law Journal, Reuters, Bloomberg, CNBC, and the Houston Chronicle, among others. A formidable courtroom opponent, Adam is regularly asked to take over complex, hard-to-win cases on the eve of trial. In the past 10 years, he has recovered more than $240 million for his plaintiff clients in litigation, domestic arbitrations, and international arbitrations.
