Hear From Our Happy Clients

At Law Office of Adam Tavitas, your satisfaction is our priority! See for yourself what our clients have to say about working with us.

    "Very Impressed!"
    We recently hired Mr Tavitas to represent our son for a marijuana citation in Porter County. From our first phone call, it was clearly evident that he genuinely cared about our sons case. He was very upfront about the prospects of the case, the steps he would take and the approximate cost to us, which was very fair and reasonable. Mr Tavitas is incredibly accessible. If he misses your call, you will be getting a return call in a very short time. Being kept informed of everything going on in our case was very important to us and he delivered! Highly recommend Mr Adam Tavitas!

    "I would highly recommend Adam to any clients in need of an attorney!"
    Adam is an awesome attorney in all aspects that offered and delivered a lot of help and all that he promised when we had originally first talked. He is very affable, and always is very quick to get back to you and answer all of your questions clearly. I would highly recommend Adam to any clients in need of an attorney!
    - Natalie R.
    "Can't Say Enough Good Things"
    Adam has been upfront and direct with me about possible outcomes but never stopped working for the best possible outcome.
    - Dane
    "Highly recommend Adam. His prices are reasonable and he wont nickle and dime you like other attorneys. He's fair, and looks out for you as a person. Thanks Adam!"
    Adam did exactly what he said he would and helped me with my felony traffic case to get my charges reduced, helped me avoid community service, and even helped me apply for a restricted driver's license so I can still drive until my suspension is up. He answers your texts/calls, provides great advice and thoroughly explains your charges and the course of action you'll take at court. He's a great criminal defense attorney. Highly recommend Adam. His prices are reasonable and he wont nickle and dime you like other attorneys. He's fair, and looks out for you as a person. Thanks Adam!
    - William
    "Choose him and you will not regret your decision!!!"
    Adam is very professional and a nice person. He really works hard to get the best outcome for your case! Thanks to him I avoided prison time.
    - Brittany M.
    "Definitely recommend him! His pricing is reasonable as well!"
    Adam Tavitas got my probation dismissed after a probation revocation. He even took on all my other cases of driving without a license on after I hired him! Definitely recommend him! His pricing is reasonable as well!
    - David K.
    "He got the charges reduced, great communication, and cares about the case he is taking on."
    He got the charges reduced, great communication, and cares about the case he is taking on. Never had to talk to a receptionist and wait on a call back since he gave his personal work phone number (being able to text/call) and got back as soon as he was able to. Very happy we came across him, not many compassionate lawyers out here that cares like he does. Will definitely recommend and hire again if needed!
