Practice Areas Description

Law Office of David S. Adams handles a wide range of legal issues, including:

- Personal Injury

When you have been injured as the result of the carelessness of another person, I believe you deserve to be compensated appropriately for medical bills and lost wages. If you lost a family member in a fatal auto accident, or as the result of any other kind of negligent action, I will help you bring a wrongful death claim. Insurance companies want to settle as cheaply as possible. Kansas is a comparative fault state, and hiring an attorney as soon as possible after your accident will help ensure that your interests are protected.

* Products Liability

I represent clients who have been injured by defective products. When a product is improperly designed, or if someone has failed to maintain or fix a product, people can be injured. I represent clients who have been injured by household products, defectively made auto parts, and improperly designed work equipment.

* Worker’s Compensation

If you have been injured at work, I urge you to talk to a Johnson County, Kansas, worker’s compensation attorney. Worker’s compensation claims have restrictions. These restrictions can lead to your claim being denied. A skilled attorney can represent your interests effectively to ensure you receive the appropriate compensation. You may be entitled to file two or more claims. For instance, if you were injured at work by improperly made equipment, you may file a third-party liability claim against the manufacturer of the defective product.

* Slip and Falls

I represent clients who have been injured in slip-and-fall accidents. These injuries can occur on public or private premises. If you were injured in a fall in a grocery store, or at a private residence, you may be able to bring a claim for damages.

* Medical Malpractice

If you were injured because your physician or medical facility was negligent, it is important to speak with a medical malpractice attorney. Patients put their health in the hands of many good and competent doctors. However, sometimes medical professionals can cause severe injuries to patients. These injuries can be caused by misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, or doctors giving the wrong prescription. I represent clients who wish to bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one who passed away due to hospital or physician error.

- Auto Accident

I am a Kansas auto accident lawyer and I represent people who suffered serious or catastrophic injuries in auto accidents on Johnson County roads and highways. I handle auto accident cases involving serious injury, such as: Neck injury; Back injury; Brain injury; Spinal cord injury; Paraplegia; Broken bones. If you or a family member was seriously injured in an auto accident caused by another person's negligence, carelessness or recklessness, I can help you get appropriate compensation for medical bills and lost wages.

* Trucking Accidents

I also work with people who were injured in commercial trucking accidents. Commercial truck drivers must follow federal trucking industry rules, and any violation that results in an accident means they may be liable for the injury they caused. I handle car-truck accidents involving semi trucks and 18-wheelers, as well as cases involving reckless speeding, driver fatigue, violations of trucking standards, or any other commercial truck driver negligence.

- Bankruptcy

I believe in giving my clients all of the information they need to come to the right decision. When you come to my office in Olathe, Kansas, I will look at your situation and determine the type of bankruptcy for which you qualify. I will file your bankruptcy paperwork and work with you to start rebuilding your credit and your financial future.

* Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges all unsecured debt. You do not have to pay back any of the unsecured debt, and you will be given a new start on your finances. Dischargeable debt includes credit card debts, debts resulting from medical bills and some other types of debt. Some debts cannot be discharged, however, such as student loans, tax debt, child support and court-ordered criminal restitution.

* Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows consumers to pay back their debts over a three- to five-year time frame. If you are in danger of losing your house or your car, Chapter 13 may help you avoid repossession and foreclosure. As with Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy does not discharge student loans or child support obligations, but it can help you get a handle on it.

* Debt Settlement

Credit card companies would prefer to get some of their money back rather than none at all. As an alternative to bankruptcy, I may be able to negotiate with your credit card company in order to reduce your debt. Whether through bankruptcy or debt settlement, I can help you get out from under your mounting credit card debt.

* Ending Creditor Harassment

When you file for bankruptcy, your creditors will no longer be allowed to harass you by phone, mail or visits. As you work through your bankruptcy plan, they cannot contact you. But it is critical that you list all of your debt on the bankruptcy filing. Creditors may continue to seek payment for any debts that you did not cover with the bankruptcy court. So be sure to talk to me about all credit card debt that you owe.

* Medical Debt Relief

Illness and medical bills are the most common reason why people end up in bankruptcy. Not only are the debts overwhelming, but families are also dealing with the stresses of an illness and often the loss of income while a person is getting medical care. If you are struggling to pay your medical bills, The Law Office of David S. Adams can provide you with medical debt relief. I will assess your situation to determine the best plan for you. I will work with you to clear your debt and put you back on the right path.

- Criminal Law

A criminal offense in Johnson County, Kansas, can have a long-lasting impact on your life. A traffic violation, such as a speeding ticket, can raise your auto insurance rates, sometimes dramatically. Felony or misdemeanor drug charges can land you in jail. Clients and their family members rely on timely and helpful advice from me. With over 15 years of experience, I provide clients with quality legal services during serious times.

* Traffic Violations and DUI Arrests

Criminal traffic violations range from speeding tickets and moving violations to driving with a suspended license. You can receive a driver’s license suspension for not paying a speeding ticket, not carrying liability insurance, and for a DUI arrest. If you are faced with one or all of these legal issues, it is important to speak to an Olathe, Kansas, DUI lawyer immediately.

* Juvenile Charges

The stakes are high for juvenile offenders. A juvenile conviction can follow an individual for the rest of his or her life. Juvenile charges are just as serious as adult charges. If the juvenile is charged with a crime as an adult, juvenile convictions may lead to more severe penalties.

- Family Law

If you are concerned about the well-being of a disabled family member, or if you need to speak with a lawyer about a divorce or annulment, I am a family law attorney and I can help. For more than 20 years, I have served family law clients in the Olathe area. My firm proudly provides our clients with timely and helpful advice in important family matters related to marriages and the well-being of loved ones.

* Legal Guardianships and Conservatorships

f you are concerned about a family member who is disabled, you have options for helping to protect his or her personal and financial well-being. In some cases, both a guardian and conservator are needed to care for a disabled family member. In Guardianship, the court appoints a guardian to take care of the disabled individual's personal needs and care, such as daily living activities. While in Conservatorship, the court appoints a conservator to manage the disabled individual's financial needs, such as monitoring property and assets.

* Divorce and Annulments

At my firm, I can help with all the issues related to divorce, including custody, visitation, support and alimony, and asset and property division. I have years of experience in helping divorcing couples with the details of legal separation, as well as helping couples seeking annulments. For shorter-term marriages, the Kansas courts will allow a couple to seek an annulment. Annulments -- which legally declare that a marriage is void and essentially never existed -- are appropriate if one person was not of legal marriageable age, if there was a mistake of fact, fraud or force, or on other reasonable grounds.

* Adoptions

Our firm also represents families in stepparent adoptions, grandparent adoptions, out-of-state and international adoptions, and other types of adoptions. I understand Kansas adoption laws and can help you bring home the stepchild, grandchild, or out-of-state child that you love.

- Wills and Probate:

I help clients with drafting wills, transfer on death deeds, health care directives and living wills, as well as assistance in most probate matters.
