Adam Glankler

25 M L King JR. Ave. , Memphis , Tennessee 38103
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I am a licensed Attorney in the State of Tennessee.  I love the legal profession because it gives me the opportunity to help people in their time of need. Whether in the realm of criminal defense or civil litigation, I enjoy finding solutions to my client's problems.. I received my B.A. degree at the University of Memphis, and my Juris Doctorate at the Nashville School of Law.  During Law School, I worked with the State Attorney General’s office where I conducted Preliminary Hearings in Criminal cases under a special license granted by the Tennessee Supreme Court.  I also was employed with the State Legislature where I summarized bills for House and Senate members.. I began my legal career with the Glankler Brown, PLLC firm,  where I practiced both Civil and Criminal Litigation since 1998. I am very fortunate and proud to have been associated with such a firm. Upon my separation as Special Counsel in 2011, I moved to Las Vegas, NV and acquired a Real Estate License where I invested time in finding and negotiating strategic real estate investment deals. I relocated back to Memphis in 2015 to open my own office, as well as be with my family and spend time at my farm. I thoroughly enjoy the practice of law.. On a personal note, I am passionate about many different things such as Law, Real Estate, horses, and the occasional game of Texas Hold 'Em. Above all else, I am deeply committed to my Catholic faith, my daughter, and my family.

I handle all types of trial work  including criminal defense, personal injury, immigration, contract disputes, and business litigation.. Although I was born and raised in Memphis, I learned Spanish as a second language while I was in college. After obtaining my license to practice law, I have been blessed with the opportunity to represent the Hispanic community in the Memphis area.

More importantly, of the lawyers that speak Spanish in the Memphis area, I am the most experienced and have the most diverse law practice.
