Adam Fried

Adam’s list of qualifications, accomplishments, titles and honors is long, even as his stated mission is short: Continue to be one of the most trusted, referred names in probates and estates. Adam has served as lead trial attorney in hundreds of successfully pursued/defended estate and trust disputes. He has tried many high stakes cases to verdict: will and trust contests, executor and trustee removal actions, interpretation of wills and trusts and ambiguities, accountings, breaches of fiduciary duty, and claims seeking to void gifts and beneficiary designations. Active in academia, Adam has taught the wills, trusts, and estate class at Cleveland State University College of Law and has been invited to lecture to many prestigious organizations. He believes successful advocacy requires skills such as fact development through deposition and storytelling though cross examination. He believes only good can come from educating clients, parties, and the court about the nature of the claim and supporting law.
