He has first-chaired more than 30 jury trials in several different federal and state courts and has made numerous arguments in appellate courts throughout the country. Adams has been recognized repeatedly by Chambers USA, is a fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers and the International Academy of Trial Lawyers and is listed in the Best Lawyers of America. He was honored previously as “Missouri Lawyer of the Year” by Missouri Lawyers Media.
