Passionate, Knowledgeable and Thoughtful

I hired an attorney who gave me very bad advice and changed the direction of my case. I fired him and hired Grace after reading her reviews and talking to the people in the Court. She was the right attorney for me to go through this horrible experience with. My case took 3 years to settle and dur...ing that time Grace was always available to me especially when I was in a crisis. She would always listen and would give me thoughtful advice. She doesn't sugar coat anything, and some of what she said was hard to hear, but it was good advice and the right advice at the time. Grace is so personable and sweet that you might think she isn't effective but she stands firm and knows her stuff in the courtroom. Anyone going through a high conflict divorce should talk to Grace before hiring an attorney.

Blessed and Badass

I was referred to Grace Edwards by my good friend who had an amazing outcome in her Custody Case. It was at a time that I needed immediate assistance and she came through right away. From our initial consultation I knew she was a badass because of her knowledge, her effective execution and her heart ...to listen through the uncertainty in my words. She also have me such valuable advice that which truly changed the trajectory of my life. Through the 2 1/2 years of probate legal suit there wasn’t a moment of self doubt in her words. She constantly reviewed my case and used her incredible knowledge and resources to make sure she showed up in court ready. She also has an incredible team behind her who I loved. We ended with a big WIN! I would highly recommend Grace Edwards in any probate matter. There is no one else I would want to be on my side. Thank you so much. Forever grateful.

Horrible experiance

Hired Grace Edwarsds to represent me in a simple Magistrates hearing . She was impossible to get in touch with .She told me she would send an expert to attend the hearing . His name is attorney Daniel Oste . He showed up unprepared . He did not know the case and lost. He didnt really seem to care. ...I had to email him 11 days later to hear if he got a decision and he said it was on his desk and he didnt know it . We had lost . I had to ask him to send it to me . I emailed him again with some questions and he didnt bother responding . Some expert ! Grace Edwards never followed up with me either. Very frustrating experience

Someone who really cares

Grace took my very difficult divorce and child custody case. She is so patient and kind and held me up through a year of hell. She always answered my calls and emails and was there for me when I needed someone to talk to. She is so much more than a lawyer. She is very smart and knows the law and ...knows how to facilitate even the most difficult negotiations. My ex told lies about me to the court and tried to have the kids taken from me. We had to go to trial but Grace skillfully worked my case and the lies were exposed. In the end I was very satisfied with the result. I would highly recommend Grace as a divorce attorney. She really cares and really works hard for her clients.

“Amazing Grace”!

There aren’t enough words to describe how absolutely amazing this woman is, but I will do my best... Grace is brilliant, compassionate, caring and driven. Grace has helped me through the hardest time of my life in fighting for the safety of my child. Being very unfamiliar with the court system I dec...ided to be safe and hire someone to help me navigate through my custody case. I believe the universe helped me choose Grace from a list of reccomended attorneys and from the moment I met her I knew she was the right choice. I did not even bother to meet with anyone else! Grace listened to me for almost 2 hours in our initial meeting. She took on my case as if she was fighting for her own child. She would always answer my frantic texts and phone calls through the process and she would instantly calm me down with her knowledge of the law and her kind words of support. The outcome turned out better than I even expected! Thanks to Grace I know my daughter will be safe and she will have a relationship with both myself and her Father. She is my guardian angel. She is “Amazing Grace”!
