The Law Offices of Gilbert T. Adams, P.C., is<br />

a third-generation professional association of<br />

trial lawyers whose concerns and reputations<br />

are distinguished by excellence and<br />

compassion. The firm recognizes that its clients<br />

seek representation after they have been<br />

intentionally or negligently wronged.<br />

Sometimes the wrong is an unethical or<br />

fraudulent commercial activity by which<br />

an individual or corporation has taken<br />

unfair advantage of their client. Typically, the<br />

wrong is a serious or catastrophic personal<br />

injury or death with enormous personal and<br />

financial loss. The Law Offices of Gilbert T. Adams<br />

provides experience with an unwavering<br />

sense of right and wrong, fortified with superior<br />

legal experience, enabling justice to be<br />

brought against any company or person in<br />

the world. The Law Offices of Gilbert T. Adams,<br />

P.C., stands committed to just resolutions so<br />

that its clients receive the maximum result<br />

to which they are legally entitled. These<br />

seven attorneys are sought-after speakers,<br />

authors, and teachers of trial advocacy<br />

and bar leaders. But most important to each<br />

attorney is the honorable and successful<br />

representation of those who have entrusted their<br />

right to the firm’s care.<br />

The firm traces its roots to 1930, when<br />

Gilbert T. Adams, Sr., returned to his hometown<br />

to establish his law practice in Beaumont.<br />

Adams was a trial lawyer and prominent<br />

legal figure throughout Texas for more than<br />

fifty years.<br />

He also was an international leader in<br />

securing and preserving human rights. He<br />

inspired and mentored many young lawyers, a<br />

number of whom joined him in the practice of<br />

law. Until his death in 1984, he was a state and<br />

national leader of the Bar by virtue of his trial<br />

and appellate advocacy, his vital leadership of<br />

the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>County</strong> Bar Association, the Texas<br />

Bar, the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, the<br />

International Academy of Trial Lawyers, the<br />

Supreme Court Advisory Committee, and his<br />

work as a founder of the Association of Trial<br />
