He quickly rose to prominence after he was able to get the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office to dismiss a case against a Brooklyn man who had allegedly assaulted a police officer. Through aggressive investigation, Adam was able to uncover a pattern of police brutality by that officer, which eventually led to his suspension from the police force. He went on to be known as a highly aggressive and competent trial lawyer, obtaining many acquittals in trials where the prosecution's evidence seemed overwhelming.

In 1999, he left the Society and started his own law firm.
