Excellent Experience

We came to Regina to modify a previous court order in a case where the mother was unstable and had failed to regularly excercise her parenting time. Regina was competent and experienced, resulting in a positive result at both our temporary and final hearing. We were thrilled with Regina's ability to ...secure primary custody for a Father in a mother's state, something that is harder to come by than it should be. We were thrilled with her flat fee pricing model that allowed us to coordinate our finances and her willingness to work with us for the end result our child desperate needed. We would have spend thousands more at another attorney and likely would not have had the same outcome. We highly recommend! Thank you Regina, we appreciate you!

Best Lawyer you can find as a father going through a divorce

I hired Regina as my lawyer after my wife filed for divorce. I had a very high conflict spouse that went through several lawyers, would send numerous letters through her lawyers and overall only wanted to cause trouble for me. Please understand that Regina isn't there to hold your hand. She will te...ll you exactly what you need to hear. She tells the truth and doesn't hold back. I needed to hear what she was telling me and I think that most lawyers wouldn't even bother telling you what you need to know. I hired her as a flat rate fee lawyer in my divorce case and she helped me get through the process from filing to final in 5 months. I spent several days with her and a mediator to get this all finished. I wanted to just sign over everything and get it finished and she helped me protect myself. To defend me when I was attacked and just generally listening when I bugged her. I didn't fight for custody but I ended up with much more time than I started with. I would recommend her to any father or frankly any mother who is in a divorce needing help. I am very happy with the results and if I could start over and do the whole process again I would hire her the second time.

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!

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.

Excellent Attorney

I would have to imagine divorce law is hard to practice. All of the clients are going through a rough time and the attorney sometimes gets the brunt of it. I have to say that I was very pleased with my selection of Regina as my divorce attorney. She was my 2nd attorney, and the difference was like... night and day. I would email and call her a lot, and she would always respond within 1-2 days. For the people that complain she doesn't respond right away, wouldn't you be suspicious if your attorney had nothing else to do but answer the phone every time you called? Good attorneys are busy. In the weeks leading up to my trial, she answered every crazy question I had and set aside time to make sure I was prepared. The judge even commented on how prepared she was! (He didn't say the same about my husband's attorney) She was able to predict very closely what the judge would do. She even gave him a sheet of how she wanted him to rule, and he did on about 90% of the things on the sheet! Amazing! She is not the most outgoing and talkative person, but she gets the job done. If you want to hire someone who charges you an arm and a leg and will just do whatever you say, then don't hire her. If you want someone who knows what she is doing and protects her clients, AND charges flat fees, you can't do any better. Hope this helps!
