Regina is a ROCKSTAR

Regina is my attorney and I am beyond blessed and forever grateful to have her represent me. My case was not easy, but Regina dove right in and took over. She has saved me and my baby boy, helping me get back on my feet, most importantly heal from a year of trauma. Regina does not mess around either...; I call her a "bulldog" in and out of the court room! She fights for her clients, she is smart, very educated, witty, knows the law, is trustworthy, compassionate & a beautiful person inside and out. REGINA IS THE BEST!!!! 100% highly recommend- 5 stars for sure

Best Divorce Attorney in Atlanta

Attorney Regina Edwards is very professional and cares about her clients. Attorney Edwards responded to EVERYONE of my messages in a timely manner and was very patient with me, by making sure that I understood our goal. Attorney Edwards is here to support those of us who are scared, lost, and don't... know how to end a toxic relationship. I may have asked Attorney Edwards the same questions many times, and she would answer them and calm me down whenever I got scared. The staff at Edwards Law Firm are very professional and the office has a very good system, Thank you for your support, Attorney Edwards.

Thank you for everything!

Regina is an awesome attorney - very knowledgeable, well-prepared and professional. My situation was overwhelming to me, but Regina explained the process and what I could expect. I had used a different attorney in the past, and there is absolutely no comparison. Regina was thoroughly prepared and ...I felt confident heading into court. Definitely 5 stars for Regina!

Smart, fair, knowledgeable, and tough!!

I hired Regina 11 years ago to help me get custody of my son after the first attorney I hired only wanted to compromise. Regina wanted me to win and looked after the best interests of my son first. 10 years later I hired her again to help me get child support from the then absent mother, and we... won again. As soon as that ended I had to hire Regina a 3rd time to defend against a custody suit which I also won. She’s 3 for 3 with me and if I ever need an attorney again there’s no decision to be made, I’ll come talk to Regina. When she would question my ex-wife in court she was very tough and firm, wouldn’t let my ex get away with anything. That was fun to watch. I didn’t want someone in there always playing nice, I wanted someone like Regina who was nice until it was time to not be nice. The judges seem to love her and she’s been around long enough that she knows what each judge is like and what they’ll respond to. Hire Regina!

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.
