A nationally recognized advocate for reform and justice, Adam has built a multistate firm with offices in Texas and Colorado, uniting a network of attorneys committed to protecting the rights of individuals accused of marijuana-related offenses. His mission is rooted in a deep understanding of the legal, political, and social challenges surrounding the end of marijuana prohibition.

Adam earned his J.D. from Texas Tech University School of Law and his B.A., summa cum laude, in Criminal Justice and Criminology from the University of Texas at Arlington. Before founding his own firm, he served as the felony public defender for the 69th Judicial District and co-founded Blackburn & Tisdell, L.L.P., where he handled all aspects of criminal defense.

His expertise and leadership have earned him recognition by Super Lawyers for Cannabis Law three years in a row—the only Texas criminal defense attorney to hold that distinction.
