Meet the founder
ADAMS ESQ was founded by a parent who personally experienced the anxiety and frustration of navigating the IEP process.
Jean Murrell Adams was heading the litigation department at DreamWorks SKG when she found herself sitting in an IEP meeting, navigating the special education system and seeking the support her exceptional child required. That experience showed her firsthand how difficult the system can be for families to navigate alone, and how much of a difference the right attorney can make.
She left corporate law to build a firm that does one thing: fight for children with disabilities who need special education and related services. ADAMS ESQ practices special education law exclusively.
