Adam was born and raised in New York and earned his undergraduate degree in political science from the University of Maryland. After graduation, he attended law school at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, where he simultaneously competed as an amateur boxer. Developing skills as a fighter required discipline, focus, and resilience - traits that have been assets in his professional life ever since.
Adam moved to West Palm Beach, FL after law school and worked as an assistant public defender, a job he took out of a fervent belief that justice belongs not just to the rich and powerful, but to everyone. Over the next three years, Adam gained valuable experience as a trial attorney handling complex, high stakes cases.
The transition to plaintiff's law was a natural next step. As a plaintiff's attorney, Adam has spent over a decade representing ordinary people who have been harmed by the carelessness and greed of large corporations. He worked at a prestigious national law firm with offices across several major U.S. cities, and served as primary attorney on a variety of catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. His verdicts and settlements total over $50 million, and he considers it an honor and his professional duty to help people hold large corporations accountable.
In 2018, Adam and his wife moved to Chapel Hill, NC with their three young children.
Since then, Adam has continued to work on cases in North Carolina, Florida, and throughout the country. In early 2022, he decided the time was right to establish Langino Law, PLLC. Owning his law practice affords Adam independence over his cases and the ability to forge meaningful connections with his clients, most of whom are referred to him by a nationwide network of friends and colleagues from a wide variety of legal practice areas.
Adam is admitted to practice law in Florida and North Carolina and has been practicing law for nearly 20 years.

- In the last 15 years, manufacturers and sellers of baby products have increasingly pushed a range of products that are marketed to soothe infants, including products like inclined sleepers, crib bumpers, sleep swings, and support cushions. However, the popularity of these products led to a rise in infant deaths and injuries while sleeping. This correlation did not go unnoticed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the federal entity charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death from hazardous consumer products. In addition to extensive product recall efforts, the CPSC has also been instrumental in conducting a crucial infant sleep study, compiling data on deaths and injuries, recommending federal legislation to protect infants, and most recently approving new mandatory safety standards.

- Inclined infant sleepers gained popularity after Fisher-Price introduced the Rock ‘n Play in 2009.
