Chicago’s Premier Criminal Defense Attorney In State and Federal Courts

Welcome to Sam Adam Jr. Website!

For over 10 years, I have been dedicated to providing superior legal service to people all over the Chicagoland and beyond. I have spent most of my life in the courtroom. Some of my earliest memories include following my father, Sam Adam, Sr., around the halls of 26th and California. I take great pride in fighting for your rights and nothing excites me more than putting "twelve in a box."

In 2008, at the age of 35, I became the youngest member of the legal team that successfully defended R&B Superstar R.Kelly. Currently, I am defending the embattled ex-governor of Illinois, Rod Blajojevich. I hope to bring to the pending trial of Blagojevich the same witty style and aggressiveness that has made me well known inside and outside the legal community.

"For the next hour, Sam Adam Jr. cajoled, implored, challenged and entertained the Cook County jury deciding theR&B superstar’s fate.

Sweat ran down his forehead as he delivered a largely improvised monologue filled with pop culture references, biblical quotations and a glimpse at how much the trial’s outcome meant to him personally."

This excerpt from a Chicago Tribune article reveals a glimpse into what some have called, "The Sam Adam Show."

Sam Adam Jr. is a proud U-Wisconsin Alumni and a supporter of the March of Dimes, in honor of his daughter Sydeny, who was born nearly four months premature.
