This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Unprofessional

Had a few brief run ins with this guy in a civil case. He takes lies and runs with them. Very unprofessional. Sounds like a pure idiot in court. He’s loud and obnoxious.

worst

This attorney was recommended by a friend in my divorce and found him to be arrogant, unprofessional, and lazy. He was paid in a lump sum 10k and I did not realize attorneys do not do that in civil cases until I had to find another attorney who advised that it was unprofessional on his part. Once H...amm got his lump sum, he was difficult to contact and more unprofessional in dealing with. He tried to charge me for my file which according to another attorney was illegal. Hamm wanted to do the bear minimum in my case and when he did not get what he wanted immediately wanted to withdraw as counsel as he got his money....horrible experience n wouldn't recommend to my now ex-wife.

The 2nd time I had to use Ed!

Unfortunately I have made some bad choices but Ed has been there for me through every turn. What other Attorney can you phone and he answers the call? He is honest and will take an impossible situation and make it work on your behalf. I cannot say how much makes me feel at ease when I should be up... in arms. If you want the best use Ed!

Charlotte’s best family law attorney hands down.

Charlotte’s best family law attorney hands down. I cannot say enough about Ed’s handling of my case – he took an impossible situation and fought relentlessly for a successful resolution on my behalf – which he got. It is a terrifying thing to deal with divorce, child custody, or actually have to appe...ar in family court. I would not even consider it without Ed Ham as my attorney. The value of his compassion, knowledge, and experience is incalculable.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Ed for a number of years, both on the other side of cases as well as in the context of mediation. Ed has one of the best combinations of divorce law "smarts", practicality, and the personality to connect with clients. He goes to court when there is no option, and finds ways to resolve cases by thinking outside the box. I recommend Ed for all levels of family law issues."

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.
