About Adam
Adam Stoddard built his legal foundation in Northern California. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science from San Jose State University, then went on to receive a J.D. from Lincoln Law School in 2010. Those years of study framed an early interest in courtroom work and state law practice.
He is admitted to practice in California and began his career in the early 2010s. His first listed role after law school was at Bustamante O Hara & Gagliasso in 2010. The following year he worked at Lorbert Greenfield & Polito. In 2012 he was a partner and shareholder at Zenere Cowden & Stoddard APC. Over the next several years he held lawyer positions at The Miller Law Office in 2015, at Craddick Candland & Conti in 2016, and at Sheuerman, Martini, Tabari, Zenere & Garvin in 2017. Those roles gave him experience across firm environments of varying size and practice emphases.
Stoddard’s path shows movement between firms and roles during the 2010s. Rather than a steady climb in a single office, his resume reflects a series of engagements that exposed him to different caseloads and courtroom procedures. He has practiced in California courts and worked among attorneys handling civil matters, client litigation, and courtroom advocacy. Colleagues from firms where he served recall an attorney comfortable in contested settings and familiar with procedural demands.
Outside of casework he has maintained professional memberships, listed as current. He has stayed connected to the legal community in California through those associations and through the network of lawyers he worked alongside over the years. Public records list Zenere Cowden & Stoddard APC among his professional offices.
In day-to-day practice Stoddard has balanced client consultations, pretrial preparation, discovery and appearances in court. He has experience drafting pleadings and motions and working on litigation strategies. The combination of early post-graduate roles and a partnership stint provided him with exposure to both management questions and front-line advocacy.
As of 2026 Adam Stoddard practices at Zenere Cowden & Stoddard APC in California, and his work focuses on litigation in California courts.
