Regina Irene Edwards' Reviews

Lawyer's Comment: From Regina Edwards: I am an attorney who tells all clients and prospective clients the absolute truth regarding their case. This client was displeased because I told them that their behavior and actions were negatively affecting their case, and I chose to withdraw as their attorney. If the client did not get the impression that I "had any passion for their best interest," that may be true. If what the client feels is their best interest clashes with good sense and judgment, I will withdraw from a case. There are many attorneys who will tell a client what they want to hear or ignore harmful client behavior in order to make a fee, I am not one of them. My retainer agreement clearly states that I can and will withdraw if my clients' interests are at odds with my overall take of the case and if the clients insists on ignoring my advice. Withdrawal of an attorney months before a trial never negatively impacts a case. If the case did not end up well, then it can usually be attributed to not having a valid position to put forth.
