I first called Adam Gurley after being served with divorce papers on Valentine's Day, which I can only assume was my ex's idea of a parting gift. From that first conversation, Adam was steady, sharp, and reassuring, and he has been ever since. If you're looking for a family law attorney in San Francisco, he's the call to make. What stands out most is his integrity. Adam tells you the truth and gives you advice you can actually trust. He leaves you feeling looked after rather than worked over. He also knows this world cold. He's seasoned and genuinely fluent in the local courts, the process, and the people in it, and it shows. Even when the other side gets aggressive, Adam stays calm and clear-eyed, translating all the legalese into plain, practical guidance you can act on. He's responsive, reachable, and steady exactly when you need someone steady, which, in a divorce, is roughly always. Just as important, he's consistent. His guidance never wavered, and he followed through, start to finish. He treats clients like people, not case numbers, or billable hours, and he clearly cares about how things turn out. I always trusted that his advice was in my genuine interest. I can't recommend Adam highly enough. If you want someone exceptionally competent, ethical, reasonable, and genuinely on your side, call him. Preferably or hopefully not on Valentine's Day.

Adam was great to work with, very knowledgeable about legal matters, and provided helpful advice throughout the process. I highly recommend his services!
Adam guided me through a complex family law dissolution involving business entities, tax implications, and challenging disclosure issues. His strategic thinking and deep knowledge of California family law gave me confidence throughout the process. He takes the time to explain legal concepts clearly, responds promptly, and genuinely cares about his clients' outcomes. His availability to pick up the phone is unmatched. I highly recommend Adam to anyone facing a difficult family law matter.
Thoughtful, strategic and committed to your case - a good attorney tells you the facts and set you in the best possible legal position - and sometimes this bad news , saves the client time and money
Adam has been an absolute blessing throughout my entire legal journey. He’s not just an exceptional attorney — he’s an honest, ethical, and genuinely caring person. From day one, Adam took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed me, and always made sure I understood my options. His knowledge of the law is impressive, but what really stands out is his integrity and patience. He approaches every situation with fairness, strategy, and compassion, and that combination is rare. I’ve felt supported, heard, and protected every step of the way. I’m deeply grateful for Adam’s guidance and highly recommend him to anyone who wants an attorney who truly has both heart and principle.
I contacted Mr. Gurley for help with my ex-spouse cohabitating and to eliminate my support payments. First, he told me I would never be able to prove the “cohabitation” of my ex-spouse. However, contrary to Mr. Gurley, with another lawyer, I was able to gather enough evidence to prove cohabitation. Second, he said that I would never be able to eliminate my support completely because of the long-term marriage. However, once again Mr. Gurley was wrong, and with the help of another attorney I was able to eliminate my support 100%. Happy I went elsewhere.
This is BS. As shown by the Contra Costa Court website for his case, he paid the Ex-Wife to waive spousal support, he did not win in court on this issue or cohabitation like he appears to claim.
Adam was incredibly helpful in getting my divorce finalized with positive results. He knows the law well and is very experienced with the SF court system. He offers convenient meeting times for people who work and an affordable rate. I could not have done this process without him. I highly recommend Adam!
Adam is a genius and thinks pragmatically and uniquely. It would be hard to find a better attorney for what he does. He's also very honest and caring. I couldn't be happier with his service, and I'd recommend him to anyone!
I was referred to Adam and reached out in a time of need seeking clarification on my rights and how to handle my current custody situation. He made himself available to assist me on short notice despite being late in the evening and even right before the holidays. He was understanding and knowledgeable of my situation and gave excellent legal advice.
Adam and Karl did a excellent job on my divorce case. I would highly recommend them..
