Why Adam
He has been at the scene, at the bedside and in the courtroom.
Most lawyers learn medicine and police procedure from the experts they hire. Adam learned it on the job, and it changes how he reads a police report, a blood result or a medical chart.
- Medical training you can't hire. Former firefighter and EMT, and a registered nurse for more than 20 years in emergency and critical care.
- Trained like the officers. Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, ARIDE and Drug Recognition Expert coursework, plus Intoxilyzer breath testing and forensic metrology.
- He knows the other side's playbook. Former public defender, former insurance defense lawyer, and one of only two Senior Legal Editors in Georgia for the Litigation Division of Thomson Reuters Practical Law.
First, don't panic
When the courtroom lights went out, Adam kept going.
A well-known judge once “asked” Adam to cross-examine a State Trooper for two hours in complete darkness after the power failed. He did it, and the blood test the State was relying on was thrown out.
That is the job as he sees it: do the work nobody else wants to do, and keep at it until something gives. It has earned not-guilty verdicts for military officers with Top Secret clearances, commercial airline pilots, medical professionals and other lawyers who chose Adam when their careers were on the line.
Simply put, he hates losing.

Client reviews
In their own words.
★★★★★
Best decision ever! Saved my career.While having my whole career on the line and speaking with plenty of other big-name lawyers in the area, all of them except for Adam basically told me I was doomed because of the result of the breathalyzer, almost 3x the limit. Adam never gave up hope on both my DUI cases, and as a result of him keeping up with everything and fighting with the courts and prosecutors, I have 0 convictions and get to keep my job!
★★★★★
Even after the first contact with Mr. Brown, I knew I was in better hands than normal. I was accused of a crime I did not commit and false charges were made. Adam was able to navigate every avenue and get this resolved amazingly swiftly. Even though your case might not be like mine was and the outcome of yours may vary, he was able to get mine dismissed and stricken from the record! He tells it straight and won't pull you around.
★★★★★
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.Adam went after my case with full force. He was able to overcome many obstacles and also my lack of participation in helping better an argument for myself. He saved my military career and I'm forever grateful for his hard work and dedication to my case.
