Carol Lee Adams

Based on my experience, I would seriously question Carol Adams’ ethics, integrity, judgment, and respect for former-client confidentiality. She previously consulted with me and gave me legal advice in a confidential family-law matter, then later appeared against me as my husband’s attorney in a substantially related divorce, DVRO, custody, and support case. The Riverside County Superior Court granted my motion to disqualify her, finding that an attorney-client relationship existed and that disqualification was mandatory. I have filed a State Bar complaint regarding this conduct. In my opinion, this was a serious ethical failure and a profound breach of trust. I would never recommend Carol Adams. She has an active CA Bar investigation for ethical violations since Spring 2026.

I usually don’t leave reviews but for this particular incident I decided to do so because it is imperatively important that decisions pertaining to your child are life altering. Especially when abuse is involved. My child was represented by Carol Adams. She interviewed him pertaining to abuse that happened in February of this year. He told her that he had been chocked and help in the air by his father until he began to lose consciousness. Her response to him was, “that doesn’t sound like abuse to me.” He refused to talk to her after that, she then responded, that’s fine I’ll just make it where you have to live with your dad. She weaponized his abuse. My son ran out of her office crying his eyes out after speaking g with Carol! When I asked Carol what happened she got aggressive and said that my son was a brat! When her report was done she made biases one sided recommendations for my child to be immediately place back with his father. She made no note of any abuse reported. Very bias

Carol is a cheat , a liar , she will be your friend to your face, then stabs you in the back !!! Not a good lawyer ,she is holding money from my mother - she is doing illegal and unethical things to my mom and verbally abuses her . I want her license pulled !!!!!!!!!!!!!
