F. Kirk Adams

I have had the honor and privilege of serving Delaware County and surrounding communities in the profession of law for many years, and have practiced out of my hometown, Ridley Park, for over twenty years. I am passionate about the practice of law and, throughout my career as a general practitioner, have gained extensive experience in civil, criminal, appellate, Orphans' Court and Family Court litigation - Including drafting pleadings, motions, petitions, discovery requests and responses, depositions, briefs, pre-trial memorandums, points for a charge, voir dire questions and other legal documents. I also provide expertise in estate planning and administration, small business matters, real estate and family law matters.

Personal

Although I was a resident of Ridley Park and have been active in the community for many years, I now reside in Harbour Beach, Florida. I have been married to my best friend, Peg, since 1989, am the proud father of six daughters, and am grateful for twelve grandchildren and one great-grandchild. I am an avid sailor and Captain and can be found at times cruising the waters of the Bahamas.

After years in the legal industry, I have the skills and experience to help you seek results.
