Divorce

When I began looking for an attorney online back in June, I was a bit nervous. I had no idea on who to hire or what to expect since it was my first time ever hiring a lawyer. Regina was one of the first ones I found. I am so glad I stumbled across her! She answered some initial questions I had at no ...charge and was very friendly. When I officially hired her, I knew I made the right decision. She was very timely responding to emails and messages. She worked with me every step of the way. She made me feel extremely comfortable. I learned a lot about the divorce process through her and will definitely recommend her to handle your divorce! I have zero complaints! Thank you again Regina for everything!

Great attorney

Going through divorce can be very difficult I will say this from first-hand knowledge. Then you have to go to the laundry list of attorneys and read all the reviews and hope that you find the right one. I was a little less unfortunate I did find a good attorney but they charge an hourly rate which ...turned out to be extremely expensive!! I am not going to make this review about my attorney that I hired before but this review is basically how I wish I had found Regina Edwards since the beginning! If you were to ask me is Regina Edwards a good attorney I would only be able to tell you from my personal experience with her. She's very knowledgeable about the law and she personally returned all of my phone calls. I had called her on several occasions and she was more than willing to give me all the information I needed necessary. I was going through a big dilemma at the time where I had a hourly paid attorney that I will not discuss on here but I will say it kept me from asking very important questions I needed to know. So instead of calling my own attorney I would call Regina Edwards . I wouldn't get a flat rate attorney to represent you one that knows the law and cares about your case from my experience with her it would be no other person than Regina Edwards I truly enjoyed talking and working with her on many consultations!!! As of now me and my wife are reconciling but if things turn out different I know exactly who I'm going to call to be my attorney!!!!

A great experience

Ms. Edwards was the perfect lawyer to help me with my case. I am a divorced man trying to amend an errant child support order. Ms. Edwards reviewed my claims and immediately offered her assistance. She was kind and sympathetic, very professional. She offered a game plan for my case, and she updated... me quickly via MyCase when questions or problems arose. As the case did not progress as we originally thought, she answered all my questions and offered very good advice on how to proceed. She did not hesitate to calm my anxieties, and she was very accommodating. I live out of the country, and she worked with my schedule to speak and meet at my convenience. She resolved my case for me, and was pleasant and professional to the very end.

Best person for the Job!

I Hired an attorney last year and had to spend north of 10,000 dollars and as it pertains to my divorce they were able to get absolutely nothing done. I decided to fire them and go with Regina and I have to say it was the best move I could've made! Regina genuinely showed interest in what was best fo...r my daughter and I. I let Regina know what I wanted to accomplish as far as custody was concerned and she made it happen. I love the fact that she charges a flat fee. It really takes some of the stress out of the equation and you can relax knowing she will be working hard for you and you don't have to stress about how to make more money to continue to take care of your legal expenses. She is very realistic and honest. She will tell you if your asking to much and what she believes is the best case if your case were taken to trial. I felt she really cared that I won the best scenario for my daughter and she followed up on my case shortly after we settled. I was able to win joint legal and physical custody; Tuesday-Friday every week and every third Saturday with a very affordable child support number. All of which is very hard for dads to get. Most lawyers charge a flat rate around $300-450 and hour in my experience. My first lawyer charged $450/hr and he charged me every time they would even talk about my case in the office. If you do the math over the 12 months your case will more than likely be going back and forth you will save tons of money. I probably would've saved $10,000 had I went with Regina and her Flat billing in the beginning. I would recommend anyone to hire Regina! I feel that she actually cares and isn't trying to run up your bill. You wont be disappointed.

She is a bulldog!

I do not for one second regret hiring this lady for my custody case. My ex is a bitter woman who used the kids as a pawn and got away with it for YEARS. My first lawyer didn't have a clue was parental alienation was, so I knew I had to get someone else. Not only had Regina dealt with nuts like my ...ex before, but had done it in front of the judge assigned to my case! Long story short, she kicked butt. The judge even made a point to say how organized and knowledgeable she ALWAYS was when she went to court. The judge didn't say anything like that to my ex's attorney - ha! Yes, she does take 1-2 days to return emails sometimes, but I always get a thoughtful response. I saw the review where the guy complained she didn't return emails. She does return emails, but not within 10 minutes. She also doesn't give her cell phone number to clients. I was a little offended at first, but I understand that she needs a break from the clients mess sometimes, so she prefers email. Overall, I would recommend her to anybody. I got joint custody of my kids when everyone told me that was not possible.
