Trustworthy and Knowledgeable

Edward took me on as a client in a moments notice. He was there for me when I needed him. My case was very complex and Edward took more then enough time with me getting to know the case and myself. Hindsight, it was more time then I thought then. Unfortunately when you go trough a criminal case, you...r emotions take over and you waste time talking about everything. Yes, I wasted his time. But he NEVER made me feel like that. I truly appreciate him talking me off the ledge so to speak many, many times. Edward is a very smart, trustworthy and knowledgeable man. He is very articulate, well thought out, and experienced. I truly am thankful for everything he did to help me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
