Professional, kind, brutally honest and highly recommended!!!

I retained Jonathan Edwards 10 years ago to handle a very bitter divorce and since then I have retained him two additional times, one being for a real-estate matter and currently to handle a very delicate custody matter. Simply put Jonathan is an amazing attorney who cares about his clients best in...terests and in my experience not about profiting off of his clients as he has spent countless hrs. with guiding me on his own time never asking for anything other than a thank you. I truly am indebted to him for what he has done for me and my family over the years. Jonathan is also a great litigator who is well prepared in court to advocate on your behalf who knows how to navigate the very tough NYS court system. I highly recommend Jonathan Edward’s and I have recommended him numerous friends and business acquaintances. He would definitely be a smart hire for anyone in need of a great attorney.

Powerful Presence

Jonathan Edwards understand the importance of providing an excellent quality of service. He is currently assisting me through a very difficult custody/divorce proceeding and I am grateful for his years of experience and effective legal representation. Mr. Edwards is trustworthy, caring, honest, compe...tent, responsive and a powerful presence to have on your side. You won't find a more capable, ethical, and hard-working lawyer out there.

Excellent Lawyer with a highly competent staff

Retaining Jonathan Edwards as my divorce attorney was one of the smartest decisions I have made. His care and concern for his clients was evident from the first moment I sat down in his office. He and his amazing staff, navigated me through one of the worst times of my life. His no nonsense appr...oach, coupled with his, in-depth knowledge of divorce law, are second to none. He and his staff were on point, during the entire process of my divorce. They were always one step ahead of the other side. Subsequently, he got me a very favourable divorce settlement. No one wants to have to go through a divorce, but if you have to go through one, I wouldn't want to be represented by anyone else. I definitely would not want to be sitting on the other side of the table. ! I highly recommend Jonathan Edwards as a divorce attorney.

Great job Jonathan!!

Consummate attorney. Really cares. Zealously protected my interests when I needed guidance through a very difficult time. Billing was fair. He was very obviously respected by judges and attorneys. I highly recommend Jonathan.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have been an adversary to Jon on a number of cases. He cares strongly about his client's cause, fights hard for positive result and has my professional respect. He is a magnificent orator, exceptionally quick on his feet and exhibits an incisive legal mind. Rather work with him than against him."
