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.

Mr Edwin Saginar is one of the finest attorney that I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. His many years of experience are instantly apparent, and his professionalism is selfevident. He has represented me on numerous occasions to my satisfaction. And the clients that I have refer...red to him on numerous occasions applaud his work and success. He is one of the few attorneys that promote fair settlements v.s. endless and costly litigation. I would recommend him to any of my clients seeking legal council.

Top Rated Attorney

I have personally worked with Edwin Saginar for over 18 years, and have recommended his legal counsel to countless potential clients for both Family Law related issues and Criminal Defense issues, including complicated appeals. I also have the expertise to distinguish the attributes that make a good ...trial lawyer, having worked in the legal field since 1987. I can say without hesitation that Mr. Saginar is one of the best trial lawyers I've had the privelege of knowing. I can further remark, in reviewing other posts on this forum, that in every court case someone wins and someone loses, and while the skill and performance of the legal counsel on both sides is important, it is not the defining factor in the outcome. There are thousands of clients out there unhappy with their outcomes, but it does not mean they had poor representation. It means they availed themselves of our judicial process, and despite their attorney's performance, they did not prevail. I recommend this attorney highly.

Services of Edwin Saginar

Mr. Saginar has represented me in several issues relating to Child Support, Custody and visitation issues, and attributed peripheral actions. The process lasted several years. During that time Mr. Saginar never failed to meet his obligations and responsibilities. He was supportive, constructive in h...is advise and actions, and managed to gain ground ultimately prevailing in an extremely adversarial battle. He is dedicated and passionate regarding his profession. I doubt seriously I would have the gained ground and relationship with my son I have today had it not been for the undeniable work put forth by Mr. Saginar. Prior to our relationship, I hired and fired three attorneys. Mr. Saginar was the first attorney who actually listened to me. I have known this gentleman for 15 years and have since had several legal issues review and implemented by him, all handled with the same expertise and compassion that was present when he was hired.

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."
