Adrian J. Adams Esq. Professional Bio

It’s not often that the practice of law and the practice of business marry well. They can be mutually exclusive. Not so for the founder of Adams | Stirling PLC, Adrian J. Adams. Coupled with his unique educational experience is the fact that Adrian is also a Marine. He specialized in F-4 Phantom fighter jets. Very impressive and quite a combination. Adrian started his first career in property management and was very successful. But, because this is Adrian Adams, that wasn’t enough. An MBA at UCLA soon followed. On the heels of the MBA, Adrian earned his JD at Southwestern Law School.

Adrian founded Adams | Stirling PLC with the goal of providing quality, expert legal services at competitive prices. What soon followed was the award-winning Davis-Stirling.com website and the Davis-Stirling newsletter. The website is the leading resource in the community association industry. It is the most frequently used reference website by directors, managers and homeowners. In 2015, board members, managers and industry professionals visited the website over 800,000 times with 3.4 million page-views. Davis-Stirling.com has a high profile with hundreds of other websites linking to and pointing traffic to this website. This includes the prestigious online encyclopedia “Wikipedia.” As a result, Davis-Stirling.com is in the #1 position for all searches related to the Davis-Stirling Act.

With an extensive background in the community association industry, Adrian Adams is one of the leading attorneys in California specializing in common interest developments. His practice includes highrise condominiums, stock cooperatives, business parks, golfing communities, country clubs, lake association, ocean-front communities and equestrian associations. He also created and writes content for CommercialCID.com, a popular resource for commercial common interest developments.

Adrian Adams’ professional accomplishments include being a founding member the CIDLAW Organization, delegate to the California Legislative Action Committee, former President of the Foundation for California Community Association Education, legal adviser on condominium law and smoke-free housing issues to the Technical Assistance Center, a project of the Public Health Institute, and founding member of the "Critical Issues Think Tank" of the national Foundation of Community Association Research.

In addition, Adrian serves as an expert witness on standards of care issues involving association boards and managers and has testified extensively on issues involving maintenance, mold, rules enforcement, budgets, reserves, governing documents, management, and related matters involving associations.

Through his popular weekly newsletter and blog, Adrian writes about legal trends in the industry. He has been a guest speaker for the California State Bar and regularly speaks at industry-related events throughout California. Adrian is also a panelist for continuing legal education programs for attorneys. He publishes a biennial salary survey of onsite managers throughout California which tracks trends related to income, gender, education, average age and certification of managers.

Adrian also created curriculum for and taught Association Management and Law for ten years for UCLA Extension. He is a past member of the Boards of Directors of the Los Angeles and Orange County chapters of the Community Associations Institute.

Currently, Adrian is Founder at Adams Stirling PLC, and is partners with the distinguished Lawrence Stirling of the Davis Stirling Common Interest Development Act at Adams Stirling PLC.

Adrian J. Adams Esq. Testimonials:

I always enjoy your Davis-Stirling Newsletter, not only for information but for the delicious sense of

humor. Whomever creates your artwork is a genius. The milk carton "Missing Board Secretary" and broken lead pencil on today's Newsletter are worth a good chuckle. Keep up the good work. You are appreciated and enjoyed. -Kathryn C.

Adrian, I like your no-holds-barred, like-it-or leave it replies. As a manager who always has to try and give a politically correct response, you often say how I feel. I particularly liked: “Reading my newsletter is like watching a scary movie, sometimes you have to cover your eyes.” -C.T.

I had to scour the globe but I believe your useful, entertaining & well written newsletter rates right up there with the car club newsletter I receive from New Zealand. -Greg M.

Your newsletter is a hoot. I look forward to it every Sunday. -Norm S.

Often on the opposite sides of the political fence, I enjoy your emails immensely. Mostly because they just make sense, and can recognize the difference as my one boss used to say, between pepper and fly shit. -Chris C.

OH, MY. I always enjoy your newsletter but this one was a WINNER!!! I needed the laugh because sometimes I get so upset with people doing dumb things. I wish them the best with their prostitutes and drugs. You are right the dogs will go with them. -Theresa M.

While many of your replies are humorous, your response to the pit bull quandary was hysterical. The images conjured up in my head will last the day, along with the smiles. Love your style!! -Lisa I.

After 35 years in my townhouse, I moved into a single family home last year. No more steps! No more HOA! Yet, I continue to look forward to my weekly newsletter from you. Keep up the excellent advice with tongue in cheek humor. I love it! -Natalie M. 

Your newsletter has been so informative and useful over the years. I just love it. Concise, well written, to the point, and usually discusses an issue we've had to deal with at one time or another. Thank you. We value your newsletter. I believe you've helped a lot of people. -James F.

Thank you so much. I am addicted to your newsletters. I commend you on your effort to educate thousands of board members and homeowners. -Azi D.

Thank you Adrian for your many years of the greatest newsletters, education, (many) laughs and superb advice. -Mike G.

I really enjoy your newsletter & I am positive your sense of humor (slightly warped) is the result of years of dealing with homeowner associations. -Cynthia C.

You have such a funny sense of humor. I read your weekly newsletter just for your hilarious comments. -Cassie T.

Dear Adrian, Thank you for the years of great information, insights and occasional belly laughs. I believe I am a better board member as a result of reading your columns and hopefully a better leader through your talented lenses of perspective. -Alison L.

Thank you so much for you newsletter, it has been so helpful and reassuring over the past years.  You are greatly appreciated. -Gary S. 

Wow! I didn't expect a personal reply! Your newsletter is the most informative one out there! -Claire 

Your discussion of an attorney’s bullying conduct as a board member (and probably in other environments) was terrific. As always, the discussion was concise, completely accurate, and will certainly be enormously helpful to lay people being threatened by one of “our own.” Kudos. -Joe M.

You totally crack me up! In this day and age where political correctness is often taken to the point of absurdity, you can still pull off some great "tongue in cheek" humor. Good for you! -Judy M.

If you ever decide to change careers, Adrian, may I suggest writing satire for The New Yorker? Even if the topics don't always apply to me, I know I'll get a laugh--sometimes from the questions themselves; sometimes from your answers. Please keep it up. -Lee H.

Your sense of humor is priceless! I look forward to reading your newsletter every week. Thanks, Roy S.

I love everything about your newsletter, graphics, tone, tenor, substance, generosity and sense of  self-deprecating humor. -L.S.

As always, your newsletter is superb. In an area of law practice which deals with conflicts oddly similar to family law disputes you are a voice of reason. Your good advice to Boards surely results in better governance, and happier owners. -Joseph P.

Thank you so much for your service. It is very much appreciated. I have a notebook just for your newsletters, almost time to get a second one. -Gary S.

Your recommendation re "Herb Garden" is a hoot! Your newsletter is such a painless way to get our dose of Association reality. Keep up the great work! -Nancy H.

Like, like, like your newsletter! -Gerry J.

Hi, I have been getting your newsletters for about four months and they are great. I'm a real estate agent. -Sue C.

Great newsletters week after week! Looking forward to what will be coming in 2014. Thank you and best wishes to all at the firm. -Joe B.

Thanks for another year of your great newsletter. I wish you, your family, and your coworkers a happy and healthy new year! -Gary V.

Your recent message of thanks to your newsletter followers prompts me to return the sentiment. I am a retired City Manager, as well as an owner of residential income property. This background makes me just smart enough to know that informed decisions are generally better than those predicated on other bases. Given that approximately 18 mos ago I was drafted to run for our HOA Board of Directors, and was subsequently elected to the Board, I find your newsletter, it myriad contents, sound advice and humor to be invaluable. Thanks so much, and have a wonderful holiday season and New Years. -Mark W.

"As the President promised, 'If you like your governing documents, you can keep your governing documents. Period.'" hahahahaha- I just LOVE this newsletter! Who knew HOA stuff could be fun! -Sandi F.

Personal agenda disorder? I can’t stop laughing! -Lorna L.

Your articles are always very informative and I enjoy not only reading them each week but frequently refer back to them. I, for one, would like to see your weekly letter expand in to a quarterly workshop. I think you would have very good attendance. -Max M.

As usual GREAT newsletter. After almost forty years of dual citizenship in two single family home CIDs, your feature “Buying A Condo” really applies to all CIDs. -Bob P.

Your article about buying a condo was OUTSTANDING! Thank you for a wonderful, informative article. -Ellen M.

Someone sent your write-up concerning things to beware of when looking at purchasing a condo, and I love your writing style. Even if it hadn’t been so entertaining, the content was very much on point. -Bett M.

I'm a long time reader of your newsletter and highly recommend it to my fellow board members. You provide great (and witty!) coverage of the issues. -Phil N.

I truly appreciate your wicked humor and your very useful comments on life in an HOA. -Ron V.

Your newsletters have stopped this small association from collapsing. You have saved us a lot of money. -Ursula F.

As a homeowner and Committee Member for our HOA over the past 6 years, I read your Davis-Stirling periodic information with keen interest. Your statement that you are "Serving California's Community Associations" is spot-on ... it provides board members, committee members AND all homeowners with not only keen insight to the laws but also the common sense approach to implementing often contentious rules. Mediation of problems, before having to take court action, is the most desirable way to resolve issues that arise through lack of clear understanding on all sides. Thank you for being there for our HOA! -Maryann M.

I read your articles every week. Thanks for publishing them. -Merle D., Ohio

Thank you for your extremely helpful website and newsletter. We find it amazing that the newsletter frequently covers subjects which we are now, have been, or will shortly be dealing. -Katherine B.

Just wanted to wish you a happy new year and say that I read your column religiously. Thanks for all you do!! -Toni W.

I look forward to Sunday mornings, reading your column. Not only do I always learn something, but you always leave me with a chuckle. Thanks! -Aastrid L.

So much legal info. Wow! -Karen G.

I'm the VP of an HOA in Laguna Niguel, and I want to say that this Newsletter is one of the best things going. It always has useful and pertinent information for our community and its operation. Thanks for your contribution to good CID management. -Walt B.

I should tell you again how much your newsletters are appreciated. Additionally, having links to related documents to provide clarity (or backup) is very helpful to the readers. The effort you make has good impact! -Steven S.

I love your newsletter. Who knew a lawyer could be so funny! -Jeanne M.
