Bad lawyer

Don’t even waste your time and money on this man. About the money and doesn’t care about you.

Excellent straight forward attorney

At my initial Divorce consult with Mr. Saginar, I was extremely impressed by his patience on wanting to understand my case. He was a great listener and asked me thorough questions that no other attorney, I had retained in the past, had asked. He provided a clear understanding of my options going for...ward and did not give me false expectations. He came across honest and caring. He even advised me, based on his personal experience, not as an attorney. He could sense my insecurities about my marriage and provided me with very wise advised. He was knowledgeable about the law and straight forward. I felt comfortable and at ease that Mr. Saginar will do his best to protect me. I wished I had met Mr. Saginar earlier in my case. The one hour free consult ended up being two hours, but Mr. Saginar did not rushed me or charged me for the extra time. He was courteous and professional the entire time. I would highly recommend Mr. Saginar.

Review Edwin M. Saginar

Mr. Saginar remained close by our side, the entire case. He was present in the court. He spoke to the judge privately. Mr. Saginar understood our side, and the need to ultimately have the entire proceeding expunged. --And while it did take months (as Mr. Saginar said that it would), ultimately th...e case was fully removed. As our lawyer, Mr. Saginar followed the case diligently. (He told us that he would check on the process every few weeks, and he did so). His knowledge let him know how long the process would extend. ---And how wonderful is it, when your 'advocate,' your lawyer, even joins you for lunch during the proceedings, to outline his immediate and long-range plans. Excellent. ---Bruce

A top notch lawyer.

Edwin really goes above and beyond in his practice. I used him for my custody case with my son. It was drawn out over the span of a year and he really didn't miss a beat. I came out with more than I asked for with regards to custody and because of the additions to the custody agreement my son and I a...re creating a much deeper relationship...something that looking back on if I didn't have I would have missed out on some pretty awesome bond building moments. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone seeking help. He is a man of exceptional knowledge in his field.

Great Attorney!

Happy to have found Mr. Saginar. He has helped us on a few cases at our office, and definitely took the stress off of my shoulders. Each time in court has been such a relief to know that you have an attorney who makes you feel so secure, and that he is addressing the true issues at hand, along wti...h defending your reputation. Not often do you find an attorney who is easy to communicate with, doesn't waste time, gives good sound advice of what actions should be taken, and prepping you for court, as it can be an emotional event. He and his staff are on top of communications, and keeping you involved completely every step of the way. Love the fact that he will tell it like it is, he utilizes his time wisely, unlike some attorneys who will stall to add additional "billable" hours. Our office highly recommends Mr. Saginar in his expertise. Truly a pleasure to work with.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have been in the active practice of law in the State of Georgia for forty five years. In early 1992, I had occasion to meet Mr. Edwin M. Saginar, Esq., who was opposing Counsel in a domestic matter being handled in Barrow County, Georgia. In representing his client through the domestic litigation I witnessed a level of skill theretofore unknown to me. Mr. Saginar’s preparation for the depositions and for the trial were exemplary as were his skills in relating to his client. I have since had opportunities to refer, and have referred, clients to Mr. Saginar knowing that he would acquit himself most professionally and effectively. I’ve had a close professional relationship with Mr. Saginar since we first met and have found him to be a very interesting man with many different and meaningful interests. He is a man of impeccable honesty and exhibits the highest in ethical behaviors. Mr. Saginar brings great distinction to the profession of law in our state."
