Client Review:
Unfortunately, Ms. Edwards did not help me at all in my divorce or custody case. I ended up doing almost everything myself. Very slow to respond and never kept me informed of the status of my case. I wish I would have used another attorney.

Client Review:
I was a client of Regina Edwards in 2009 and 2010. I strongly recommend NOT working with Regina Edwards. She was unresponsive or slow to respond to my phone calls and emails. I would have to call or email multiple times - sometimes over a period of weeks, before I could get her to answer a questions or a request. She refused to accept calls on her cell phone. She sent a "substitute" attorney to my court hearings without first consulting with me. Her substitute, with whom I'd initially had very little interaction - was very unprepared to argue my case. Regina assured me that I would not be required to pay alimony because my spouse was employed and highly educated. Because of her advice, I agreed to go to court (instead of settling) to fight alimony. The judge awarded nearly 5 years of alimony + attorney's fees. Regina was condescending and argumentative with me - her customer - more often than not.The entire experience was regrettable. I do NOT recommend Regina Edwards.

Client Review:
I was told that my divorce and child custody was a shoe in. That my ex wouldn't get custody, "no judge in there right mind" As soon as my ex seeked counsel with a attorney (not a family law attorney) the case was basically over. Besides the fact I was still being charged. A non-contested divorce cost me $10,000, and the custody was barely brought up. I highl recommend another attorney and wish I would've reviewed her before I committed. I was promised the sky but got nothing but dirt, thank you Regina and your associates for being the worst attorney ever

Client Review:
She seemed very disinterested in the facts regarding my divorce. Instead, she took on a prejudice against me (the client) and addressed me in a very condescending manner. I did not get the impression that I could trust that she had any passion for my best interest. We eventually separated company and my divorce case was very negatively affected.

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. |
