Adam helped me with a DUI case making what I thought would be a nightmare into a very simple process that was as painless as possible. I never had to speak to anyone other than Adam and didn’t have to appear in court once I hired him.
He did a terrific job putting my mind at ease and allowing me to go on about my life as the process unfolds.
I would highly recommend him!

Although the criminal charge against me was weak, the evidence nevertheless could be made to make me look like Jack the Ripper. Adam understood that I could prevail, but doing so wasn’t necessarily going to be easy, or cheap.
Adam did not sugar-coat my predicament; nor did he boastfully portray himself as a latter-day Clarence Darrow. He analyzed my case logically and explained to the prosecutor why the State would have a hard time getting a jury to convict me.
The upshot was that he negotiated the dismissal of the charge against me. Not only that, but Adam actually offered to *refund* part of the (fairly substantial) retainer fee I had paid him.
I’ve had experience personally and professionally with a lot of lawyers all over the United States and in Washington. I’ve never seen one refund part of a fee. In that respect, Adam Pollack is unique.
Adam is not only competent, but honest. I would recommend him to anyone facing any kind of criminal charge in Iowa.

I got in trouble while driving in Iowa City. I called Adam Pollack to represent me. He did an excellent job and got my case dismissed. He was very knowledgeable about my charge and gave me great advice on how to achieve the best outcome.

Aggressive and to the point, excellent to work with and he works with you. He provided what I needed and did a fantastic job with the case.

My son was most confident with Adam. If there is one thing that we learned from Adam is that you have the right to remain silent ask for legal counsel before talking to anyone. My son defended his cousin after an aggressor threw her to the ground. Got charged with assault for defending his cousin then himself defense of others and self defense. Adam was dedicated to prove his innocence. We collaborated as a team and got the case dismissed.
-Tracy
My son made some poor choices one night that could have had dire consequences for his future. Through Adam’s tireless efforts my son’s legal issues are now manageable. Adam walked us through and supported us through each step of the legal system in Johnson County. I live two hours away and it was comforting to know that my son was in capable hands.

My son ran into some problems while at University of Iowa. It was frustrating not being able to help him since we live in Chicago. I called Adam and he got involved right away. He reviewed every aspect of the charges and explained how we can fight them. Adam kept us informed throughout the whole process and even got the larger charge dismissed! Not only that, but my son told me how Adam kept him so relaxed and calm in court when he was so nervous. It was great to have someone like Adam fight for us and be there for our son when we are not able to be there for him. Adam is a great attorney that really goes that extra mile and we STRONGLY recommend him.

He handled my case attentively and professionally. Once hired, many lawyers are difficult to get a hold of and difficult to get information from, but not Mr. Pollack. He is available to speak with you about your case almost any time, and if not, he will follow up with you promptly. He does a thorough job taking notes and reviewing your case, tells it like it is, and gives you the most sound advice as to whether you should approach a trial or simply take a deal. I knew from the first conversation that this was the right person for the job, and I do not regret my decision.

Adam was consistent and got back to me quickly when I had any questions. Ended up getting case dismissed. Would strongly recommend hiring.

If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, professional attorney, Adam Pollack is your guy. He got back to me quickly, listened to all of my concerns, calmed my fears, and dealt with my case promptly. The process was so easy and seamless with Adam. He handled everything and kept me informed throughout the process. He pleaded down my charge, and the outcome was much better than I could have expected. I thought the fee to handle my case was exceptionally reasonable. On top of handling my case, Adam is continuing to help me fight to keep my professional licensure. This is an attorney who goes above and beyond for his clients. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Adam Pollack for legal representation. I acquired Adam’s services recently to fight an unjust misdemeanor charge I felt compelled to defend. Adam without hesitation took my case with a passion for representing my constitutional rights and knowledge of the law. In court he was direct, passionate, prepared, and meticulous for my defense; resulting in a case dismissal. If you want a lawyer who’s truly passionate and great at his craft of defending your rights, acquire Adam for you legal representation.

Mr. Pollack exceeded my expectations while defending me in my case.
First off, he let me make all the final decisions on how to proceed in my case, while providing his advice and best judgement. He listened to me, tried to understand the case from my point of view, and worked to achieve the outcome that I wanted, not the one that he saw best fit. What also surprised me was that he kept fighting to achieve the desired outcome. In my experiences in the past, lawyers have accepted the first offer given out by the judge and assume it’s the best they can achieve. This is not the case with Mr. Pollack, where he kept fighting and until we achieved MY desired outcome. This ended up not being the outcome that he desired, but due to my situation, it was the outcome that I desired. At the end of the day, I felt like he was fighting for me and trying to get the best outcome for me in my situation, not taking the first offer to close the case. Due to his fighting spirit, I was able to receive the longshot outcome that I wanted.
On top of his excellence in the courtroom, Mr. Pollack went above and beyond in two separate instances. The first instance is when he made phone calls for me in another trivial case that I had pending where he wasn’t representing me. This surprised me, because he went out of his way to help me in another case that I was not paying him for. On top of all that, when we received the desired outcome, most lawyers would be finished with my case, not Mr. Pollack. He then went ahead and made all the necessary phone calls to the DOT to make sure I could get my license back. These two instances really drove home the point that he did care about me and my case, and that I wasn’t just another case to him that he wanted to complete so he could move on to the next one.
In the end, Mr. Pollack treated my case like it was his friend’s or family member’s. He not only did a masterful job in the courtroom by achieving MY desired outcome (which I thought was a longshot), but he then went above and beyond in the customer service area in two instances. I am extremely satisfied with the service Mr. Pollack has provided me and would recommend him to anyone willing to listen.
