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.
