The law firm of
Adams, Theisen, May & Miller, located in the historic
Clinton House in downtown Ithaca, New York, since the mid
1970's, traces its roots to 1935 when Armand Adams, a
graduate of Cornell Law School, began his law practice in
Ithaca. The firm continues to be a leader in the fields of
estate planning, estate and trust administration, elder
law, real estate law, business law, and related matters,
and also offers legal counsel and representation in many
other areas of law as well. Ithaca is the hub of the Finger
Lakes region of central New York State, and Ithaca-based
academic institutions Cornell University and Ithaca College
enhance Ithaca's vitality and beauty. Due in large part to
these colleges' diverse faculty, staff and students, the
firm represents a broad range of clients.
Armand Adams, the founder of the firm, was a highly
respected attorney and civic leader. Henry Theisen was also
a long time member of the firm who contributed his time to
many local not-for-profit organizations. Although Armand
died in 1983 and Henry in 2001, the firm has retained their
names in our business in recognition of their contributions
and dedication to our firm, the local bar and our
community.
Attorneys Michael May and Peter Miller are continuing the
legal tradition of our predecessors in this firm and look
forward to providing quality legal services to individuals
and businesses in the greater-Ithaca community in the
coming years.
