Hired Attorney 2017-2019I have never hired an attorney in the past. I retained Mr. Edwards' services on a recommendation of a friend in what became a 'messy' divorce with a lot of different issues at stake. Mr. Edwards and his team listened thoughtfully as to what I wanted from the divorce. What I wanted was a fair and equitable settlement and my spouse and I as equal partners as parents. The team never lost sight of that goal. It took a long time and was an expensive journey, however having Mr. Edwards as a partner with me in this was instrumental in us arriving at the settlement we achieved. I consider Mr. Edwards and his team as friends now. Not only did they help me achieve the most optimal legal outcome for me, but they were not only legal counsel but understood the emotional component of dividing a family. They were advocates for their client while recognizing that everyone in this are human beings and not just a payday.
