Jonathan E. Edwards

I hired Jonathan to handle my divorce and split share of my house back in 2023. In the beginning, he was very responsive and seemed very confident this case would be very quick and easy to handle. He let me know about all of the steps he would take to get this case moving and it made me feel comforta...ble. Once a month or so went by, I couldn't reach Jonathan on the phone at his office or cell phone, text messages, emails, etc. Every time I was told about a court date, I was always left in the dark. I didn't know what the next step was, there was absolutely NO communication, it was like pulling teeth to get an answer. When I finally did get him on the phone, I was never able to get a word in, and I was always rushed off of the phone. Things he would explain that were being done, was never done. For example, he said he needed information for my Ex husband to serve him, told me he was served on said date, and I find out a month or so later that he never was. I was also waiting a long time for the conformation of my divorce. After trying to get in touch with him about the progress, he said, "Oh your divorced already, since said date." I asked to send over the divorce paperwork and the date is about 2 months off from the date he had told me. I was extremely confused and he just said "Your divorced, that's it. That's finished." I never got a straight answer from him. It left me completely stressed and in the dark about the whole situation. Never did I think it was going to be that stressful. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt to make things right and it just got worse and worse. I had to spend another few thousand dollars to hire another lawyer that got everything done and situated in a couple of months. I couldn't get anything out of Jonathan and wasted 1-1/2 - 2 years on absolutely nothing. I had to spend my money twice for one job. I'm highly disappointed in Jonathan and his work and I will never use him or recommend him to anyone I know.

I was involved in an extremely highly contested custody case. After speaking with several different attorneys, I realized that Mr Edwards was different. For starters, he honestly informed me of the cost, time, and potential outcome. I’m not sure if he has a photographic memory, but he remembered bet...ter than me certain details of my life. This within itself was priceless. Several different attorneys I met with would ask a question... than moments later ask it again. To me, for the absolute most important event of my life, I needed someone who not only cared, but cared passionately. During court appearances, he would be told by other attorneys to “take it easy, it’s not personal”... but it was personal for me!!! The man fought tooth and nail for me. In the end, After a 40 day trial...thank gd i won full custody of my boy...against all odds. A man in nys nonetheless.

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.

He is blessed with tremendous knowledge, brilliance and experience. He listens and explains the entire ...process, along with deciding a strategy. He then explains the strategic plan, and he executes it successfully. You can count on his extensive experience and knowledge and be sure that Mr. Edwards knows the law beyond your expectations. He promptly returns all calls, texts, and emails. Mr. Edwards is definitely the divorce attorney you want on your side! I highly recommend Jonathan Edwards and the Law Firm of Edwards & Rockmore for your divorce case!

I met w Jonathan over a year ago in hope to overturn a horrendous devorce from 2007 from the result of a previous incompetent attorney. I was facing a huge financial obligation with my ex husband who continusiouly had me back in court for tedious reasons . After meeting with Jonathan I felt confiden...t he was knowledgeable and extremely competent to attack this situation..going through this emotional situation can be fustrating at times not to be able to reach him through a text or phone call (usually be cause is protecting someone else) he does absorb every text , email or emotional phone call and later processes in court when need be. His staff is extremely professional , competent, understanding and helpful. The one bad thing is that I was sad to say good bye when it was over. Jonathan helped me to start a new life both emotionally and financially... But I do still know I can call him even if I just need a friend.
