The narrative gets tested before the jury hears it.
Adam builds defenses the way prosecutions are built — exhaustively, and in writing. Deep discovery audits that force the State to show its work. Constitutional challenges that put the stop, the search, and the statement on trial first. Pre-trial litigation that dismantles the government’s narrative before a case ever reaches a jury.
That posture changes outcomes. Prosecutors negotiate differently with counsel they know will pick a jury — and when trial is the right answer, the file is already built for it.
