About
Adam Said Awad, a native of California's Central Valley and a first-generation law school graduate, brings a wealth of experience and dedication to Sawl Law Group. Adam graduated with honors in Pre-Law from Fresno Pacific University, where he also captained the Men’s Cross Country and Track Teams. During his undergraduate years, Adam demonstrated leadership beyond athletics as the president and founder of the Real United Nations Delegation, successfully leading a team to compete at the prestigious Harvard National Model U.N. Competition.
Adam’s journey into Criminal Law began early as an intern at the Fresno County Public Defender’s Office at just 21 years old. During his internship, he contributed to complex and high-profile cases, including a gang-related double homicide and a Sexually Violent Predator Trial. He gained extensive firsthand experience in case research, investigations, and trial preparations.
While earning his Juris Doctorate from San Joaquin College of Law, Adam further honed his legal skills as a certified law clerk with several criminal defense firms in the Central Valley. In this role, he successfully drafted and argued numerous sentencing and suppression motions before the Fresno County Superior Court, achieving favorable outcomes for clients.
Following graduation, Adam continued to excel as a post-bar clerk for a prominent Central California defense attorney. He played a key role in preparing federal motions during the pandemic, including compassionate release applications for at-risk inmates. In the Fall of 2020, Adam obtained his Provisional License to practice law in California and worked with Fitzgerald, Alvarez, and Ciummo in Madera County. There, he managed hundreds of misdemeanor and felony cases, conducted nearly 100 preliminary hearings, and achieved numerous dismissals and charge reductions.
Adam’s dedication to his clients is evident in his comprehensive experience, which spans bench trials, felony reductions, and appellate work. Adam is committed to providing vigorous, knowledgeable, and empathetic representation for every client he serves.

"Right away you can see this is a very professional firm. They did everything they said they would, including working things out so I did not have to appear in court."
This was the first time I had needed to hire an attorney. I met with 7 different lawyers before I decided. Right away you can see this is a very professional firm. They did everything they said they would, including working things out so I did not have to appear in court. I am very pleased with the service and the way the case was handled. I would and do recommend them to my friends.

"I will forever be grateful to this office who helped me."I retained the office to help me with some very serious charges that would hurt my career and long time goals. I was wrongfully accused of taking materials from a job site. I did not take them, this law office help prove my innocence. They helped me find an investigator for my case. The staff was always ready to help me and willing to go the extra step when I had questions. The Attorney later was able to get my case dismissed. I will forever be grateful to this office who helped me. I recommend Sawl Law Group if you want someone fighting for you.- Preston D.
