About Adil
Adil Shah practices law in both New Mexico and Indiana. He is counsel at The Viper Law Group and handles matters that arise under the laws of those two states. His work requires attention to different procedural rules and the practical realities of litigating and advising across jurisdictions.
Shah built his practice by working in settings that demanded familiarity with state court systems. Over time he accumulated experience in state-level filings, hearings and client counseling. He has moved between matters that require courtroom presence and those that are handled through negotiation and written submissions. That variety has shaped the way he approaches individual cases and client strategy.
Peers and clients describe Shah as pragmatic. He breaks complex problems into manageable steps and communicates clearly about what a case will likely require. He treats deadlines and court requirements as priorities. He also pays attention to the administrative details that affect outcomes, such as filing schedules, evidence rules and the mechanics of service.
At The Viper Law Group Shah works with colleagues on cases that involve parties and issues located in different states. That work often means coordinating filings, aligning timelines and making sure that clients understand how a New Mexico rule might differ from an Indiana counterpart. He regularly assesses jurisdictional questions and chooses avenues that best suit each client’s situation.
Outside of formal courtroom settings Shah spends time preparing written materials and advising clients on procedural steps. He drafts pleadings, prepares discovery requests and responses, and explains settlement options. When appearances are necessary he manages those hearings and argues the positions he has developed through prior preparation.
Colleagues say Shah values clear communication and steady case management. He aims to keep clients informed without overpromising outcomes. He also seeks to resolve matters efficiently when resolution serves a client’s interest, while taking cases to trial when that proves necessary.
As of 2026 Shah practices at The Viper Law Group and is licensed to represent clients in New Mexico and Indiana. He currently practices law through The Viper Law Group, representing clients in matters arising under New Mexico and Indiana law.
