Areas of Practice

Adam Ripple

Attorney

I am not afraid of hard work. Whether it is cleaning the chicken coop on the farm or negotiating a real estate deal, my approach is to just roll up my sleeves and tackle the job head on.

In all of my roles in life, I enjoy being the guy people count on in tough situations and when difficult decisions are required. Addressing an agitated crowd at a public meeting, navigating a complex zoning process to advance a client’s development, or deciding to cull the flock at home all require candidness, decisiveness, and follow through. I apply those principles to everything I do.
