Reputation.
Respect. Results.
ADTA invites only one defense trial attorney to be its prime member per one million in population from various jurisdictions who have a trial practice and devote a substantial portion of their professional time to defending businesses, insurance companies or their insureds, associations, or governmental entities in civil litigation. An ADTA prime membership is, in essence, a statement of the high regard in which that defense trial attorney is held by his or her peers in the defense trial bar of their city and state or province.

From the President

Welcome and thank you for visiting the ADTA's site.
We are a membership of defense trial lawyers from around the country. Our group is made up of one select attorney per million population. We are a sister organization to the DRI, IADC and FDCC.
We get together for one week of meetings per year, held in fabulous venues, to share secrets of the trade and learn together. Although we represent different types of clients and are from different cities, states and countries we are trial lawyers at the core and enjoy referring business to attorneys of similar litigation backgrounds.
If you are already a member and One in a Million but interested in getting more involved, simply email or call me, and we will make sure you get the most out of your membership. If you want to learn more about the ADTA, please feel free to reach out with any questions.
All the Best, Evelyn
