About Michael L.
Michael L. Adams studied on two shores. He earned a B.A. from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in 2009. A few years later he returned to the United States and completed a J.D. at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law in 2012. His academic path combined international study and American legal training.
After law school Adams established his practice in Maryland. He is admitted to practice in the state and has built his professional life around local bar activity and courtroom work. He maintains memberships in the Anne Arundel County Bar Association and the Prince George's County Bar Association. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Prince George's County Bar Association, where he participates in governance and programming.
Adams is located at the firm Sasscer, Clagett & Bucher. At the firm he works on matters that arise under Maryland law. Colleagues describe him as deliberate in his preparation and straightforward in client communication. He approaches cases by breaking complex issues into manageable parts and by aiming for clarity in written and oral advocacy.
Outside day-to-day casework Adams has been active in county bar events. His board role in Prince George's County involves helping plan continuing education for attorneys and contributing to community outreach. He also keeps connections with the Anne Arundel County Bar, attending meetings and contributing to local professional discussions.
Clients and peers see Adams as someone who values process. He spends time explaining options and the likely steps in a matter. He prepares court filings and attends proceedings in Maryland's state courts. He is attentive to deadlines and to the procedural requirements that shape litigation and transactional work alike.
As a Maryland-licensed attorney whose education bridges the U.K. and the U.S., Adams combines local courtroom experience with an international undergraduate background. He practices law at Sasscer, Clagett & Bucher and handles matters arising under Maryland law.
