In the first, he convinced the trial magistrate that a deed to real property was transferred as a result of the exercise of undue influence over an incompetent adult. The Magistrate recommended that the transaction be set aside and voided. See Gregory Thompson, Guardian v. Paul Radis, et al. In the second, Adam tried a case before the Beth Din of America (a jewish tribunal in New York City) and convinced the tribunal that the Defendant Trustee had breached his fiduciary duty and engaged in self dealing, resulting in a substantial verdict for his client beneficiaries.

In a case of first impression, Probate Judge Laura Gallagher issued a ruling throwing out a last will and testament that had been previously admitted to probate.

While the testator properly executed the instrument, the evidence revealed that her intent was to name the residual beneficiary at a later date. The Judge found, as a matter of law, the instrument did not fit the definition of a Last Will and Testament.
