statute. He has also continued to work in the area of criminal law
as a defense attorney.
Mr. Adler has lived and studied abroad and is comfortable
communicating with clients from Russia, Europe, Israel, South
America and Africa. Mr. Adler tries to balance the value of his
experience against the costs to the clients of benefiting from that
experience and then staying within the judicial system to solve
disputes.
