About Adam
Adam Banton is an attorney who combines a background in social science with legal training. He arrived at law after undergraduate study in psychology and crime and justice, and he now works at a firm that handles disability matters. He is known among colleagues for a methodical approach and for grounding legal arguments in clients’ real-life situations.
Banton earned his Bachelor of Arts at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor, where he studied psychology and crime and justice. The coursework gave him exposure to mental health theory, behavioral research, and the social systems that often intersect with the legal system. He went on to earn a Juris Doctor from Wayne State University Law School, where he completed the professional training that led him to practice law in Michigan.
After law school he joined Disability Lawyers of Michigan. His role there is as a lawyer handling disability-related cases. The office represents claimants in administrative proceedings and appeals, and Banton’s responsibilities include preparing case files, gathering medical evidence, and presenting arguments on behalf of clients before decision-makers. He works alongside other attorneys and staff who manage caseloads that require attention to both medical detail and legal procedure.
Banton draws on his psychology background when evaluating claims that involve mental health conditions. He pays close attention to medical records, functional reports, and the narrative clients provide about their daily lives. That combination of clinical detail and legal process often shapes how he develops case theory and crafts requests for benefits. Colleagues say he prefers thorough preparation and steady case management. Clients often encounter him as part of a team that seeks to translate medical histories into the legal standards used in disability determinations.
Today Banton practices at Disability Lawyers of Michigan. He handles the preparation and pursuit of disability benefit claims and represents clients in administrative hearings and appeals. His current practice centers on disability benefit claims at Disability Lawyers of Michigan.
