George Harold Edwards

I would like to say to anyone that considers this man as an attorney, save your money and go to another attorney. I served 25-years in the Army and I met my spouse in Europe; after she refused to join me in the United States after I was transferred back to my own country, we slowly grew apart and nee...ded to get a divorce. Army legal services had George Edwards listed as an attorney that can handle divorces when your spouse is a foreign citizen. I retained her services on April 6, 2015 when I wrote him a check for $3,000.00, but that was the end of things as I would find out down the road. I patiently waited 4½ years for my divorce take place and it never happened. I would call every couple of months and all I got was a “we are trying to get her served” and nothing else. Unfortunately, Mr. Edwards was apparently assaulted on August 7, 2019, but even before then, his phone would only ring when I would call his office, and eventually be disconnected, and e-mails to him went unanswered. Therefore, I went by his office only to find out that he no longer occupied space in the building. Other attorneys that worked there gave me his son’s cell but his son sternly demanded that I never call him again in reference to his father. Most of all, I was informed by another attorney that he can no longer practice as an attorney in the State of Virginia. He never followed up with me or told me anything about what came of my retainer fee or status of my divorce. I tried to take him to small claims court to get my $3,000.00 but they could not get him served. The only thing I got from him was an “I owe you” in the mail. Although retired now from active duty and after reading his reviews to discover that I’m nowhere near the only one that’s had issues with this particular attorney, I went back to the Army Legal Center at Fort Lee and demanded they take his name off of the recommended list of attorneys. I would go on to hire another attorney and I was divorced in 6 months. I feel ripped off and scammed by George Edwards. I say to anyone, save your money and get another attorney. Calvin B. Hudgens
