Adam received his Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology from the University of Michigan in 2002 and his Juris Doctorate from Wayne State University Law School, where he graduated magna cum laude, in 2008. He was admitted to the State Bar of Michigan in 2008. He joined Shinners & Cook in 2009, where he focuses on estate planning, business, and real estate law.

"I have always enjoyed problem-solving," Adam says.  "One great thing about being a lawyer is that no two problems are exactly alike, and just because a particular approach worked last time, doesn't mean it will work again.  There are no one-size-fits-all solutions; it is necessary to get to know the client and really understand their goals and aspirations in order to reach a result that puts them closer to fulfilling their dream.  It's this kind of fact-intensive, client-centered approach that makes my job so challenging and rewarding."

In addition to his work, Adam enjoys playing and watching sports, running, and reading.
