Adam D. Roark is a graduate of Davidson College and the Wake Forest University School of Law. In addition, he holds an LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Florida, the number two ranked tax program in the country. In 2014, Adam was named one of the top Forty Under Forty business leaders in the Gainesville area by Business in the Heart of Florida Magazine.
Attorney Adam D. Roark began the Roark Law Firm with the belief that clients should be able to receive all-inclusive legal counsel quickly and efficiently. Large corporations often employ their own in-house counsel to advise and direct management on the implementation of corporate strategy; manage the daily legal function of the corporation, and when needed, oversee the work of outside counsel.
The Roark Law Firm recognizes that new and expanding businesses need a law firm that can utilize its knowledge and experience to aid in the selection of the most beneficial and appropriate legal structure for its endeavor. The best foundation for any business is a structure that optimizes the potential for growth and economic success while limiting risks of collateral damage to equity holders if difficulties threaten the business.
Getting into or out of your business without exposing yourself to unintended tax consequences or unnecessary liabilities takes careful planning and forethought.

When faced with the decision of how to sell (or buy) an existing business, many business owners are often unaware that the structure of such a transaction can have a lasting impact not only on the amount and timing of payment, but also what they will pay in taxes and the extent to which they remain liable for prior, current, or future issues.
Estate planning, more than almost any other legal practice area, is personal. Though there are certainly laws and regulations that apply to everyone, how you choose to handle them and craft a plan that best works for you and your family involves a multitude of deeply personal choices.

Given the intimate nature of estate planning, it is crucial that you not only hire an estate planning attorney whose experience you trust, but who you believe understands and can help implement your wishes.Estate planning tends to be a task people put off for the future.

I recently met with Adam to put together legal documents for me concerning a trust, a will, a living will and power-of-attorney. I first met with Adam to discuss my desires for each of the above and he patiently led me through considerations of each. The legal issues surrounding each are most complicated and he succinctly guided me through the hurdles of each. Then, he put together the documents for each, incorporating all the considerations/requirements that I had detailed. He had each one precisely spelled-out in a most detailed document. Best of all, he then sat with me to explain what each

I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Adam on some pretty serious legal reasons; and the process has been virtually painless due to Adam's knowledge, availability, ability to educate his clients on their cases/ reasons they seek his expertise and his incredible professionalism. He's the ideal match of an impressive attorney and a guy who feels like a caring neighbor with southern to boot! He made my legal woes a piece of cake and even, dare I say, enjoyable?! His understanding personality and kindness separates him from the majority of attorneys who are just looking to get their
