Adams & Ham Trial Lawyers

Adams & Ham Trial Lawyers is a Las Vegas plaintiffs' firm concentrated on high-stakes and complex litigation, with a practice built around product defect cases, catastrophic personal injury, mass torts, and class actions. The firm was formed by trial lawyers Robert M. Adams and Artemus W. Ham IV, longtime colleagues who previously practiced together at Eglet Adams, one of Nevada's most prominent plaintiffs' firms, before launching their own practice.

The firm reports that its attorneys have obtained more than $5 billion for clients across more than one hundred verdicts and settlements. Among the results the firm highlights: Robert Adams and Artemus Ham were instrumental in securing a $1.2 billion settlement in opioid litigation brought on behalf of the State of Nevada and Nevada cities and counties, and associate Maggie DiFederico served on the trial team that secured a $3 billion punitive damages verdict in the Real Water toxic bottled water case.

Adams & Ham operates on a model the firm describes as "the lawyers' lawyers." Beyond direct client representation, a significant share of its docket comes from referring counsel: attorneys across the country refer seven- and eight-figure cases to the firm under Nevada's referral fee rule, relying on its trial experience, resources, and capital to litigate against well-funded defendants. The structure is designed to pair the resources of a large firm with the personal attention of a small one.

The firm's team comprises partners Robert M. Adams and Artemus Ham and associates Megan Adams and Maggie DiFederico. Its office is located on South Durango Drive in Las Vegas, and case evaluations are free and confidential.
