Unresponsive After Consultation Fee Paid

I consulted with Adrienne Edward regarding my assault case and paid the consultation fee promptly. While I received a receipt for the payment, I have not received any evaluation, advice, or further communication about my case since the initial consultation. Despite multiple follow-up attempts via ...email and phone, I have not received a response or update. This lack of communication has been extremely frustrating and has left me unsure about how to proceed with my case. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend Adrienne Edward to anyone seeking legal representation. Timely communication is essential in legal matters, and this level of unresponsiveness is unacceptable, especially after paying for a consultation.

Poor communication and unreliable lawyer .

My experience with this lawyers office from the first to the last was nothing short of unreliable and poorly handled with communication. I paid for an initial consultation and was able to get on the lawyer calendar pretty quickly. but lawyer never came through , very inconsistent! She lies about her... availability and her office staff lies about communication with her regards to your case .

Take my advise and do not hire this attorney .

Her case overload is ridiculous. She does not return calls or email or visit inmate . She is unprepared for court hearing and she copy and paste motions she previously use . She does not fight and just wants to move on to the next case . horrible service , waste of money, not professional. You will b...e paying for a pled rather that a attorney who will fight .

Incredible Trial Lawyer

I watched as Ms. Edward delivered a powerful closing argument and was nothing but impressed with the caliber of attorney that she is. She was able to take all of the evidence in a criminal case that contained the most serious allegations the state can levy against a person (murder) and dismantle ever...y single piece of evidence piece by piece. To be able to get a jury to look at the facts alone, without the emotions that often get tied up with such serious accusations is not a skill that every attorney has. If you are looking for an attorney who will advocate for you, powerfully and effectively, look no further. She is an experienced attorney who takes her responsibility to advocate for her clients very seriously. Ms. Edward has been professional, demonstrates a good understanding of the law, knows how to argue the facts, and (perhaps most importantly) does so effectively! I got chills when I watched Ms. Edward give a powerful closing argument.

Take your money and run

I hired Attorney Edwards but she didn't solve my case what she did was avoid my phone calls my emails but she certainly didn't avoid taking my money at the beginning it seemed like she was going to solve my case but she drags your case until she is paid in full Please don't waste your time pleas...e find someone honest that is really willing to help you
