Very straightforward and honest
Ed handled my divorce, provided some advice on a dispute with a neighbor, and provided me with a prenuptial agreement. Always very straightforward and honest. You don't have to worry about him running fees up. He will quote you a fair charge, bill you for that, and do exactly as he says he will. ...

Very Happy Client
Recently I hired Mr. Napier to handle a situation involving my son and some trumped up charges against him. Mr. Napier advised us on how to properly handle the matter so that my son would not suffer some very tough consequences. I could not be happier.

Great Guy
Ed is great. He took the time to see all the details of my case. He looked for a great solution to a difficult problem. I think he actually cared about me as opposed to just wanting my money.

Working with a Professional
Ed has earned our trust working on our son's criminal case. Ed has put together a strong defense and has been proactive to respond to our needs and attacking the case.

Ernest Dewitt Napier III's Lawyer Endorsements
"Ed is a supremely talented trial lawyer. His care and compassion for clients is the gold standard. I enthusiastically endorse Ed Napier to anyone in need of top notch criminal representation."
"Ed is as tough as nails and practices in an extremely rough jurisdiction. I have watched Ed handle very serious cases with extreme tact and guile, frequently getting favorable dispositions for his clients. Ed is someone you want on your side when the chips are down."
"Ed Napier is an excellent trial attorney with an outstanding reputation."
"I cannot say enough good things about Ed Napier. I have seen Ed in action, and he is simply an outstanding criminal trial attorney. We are both involved in community activities, so I can also attest to his work ethic outside the courtroom. He garners a great deal of respect. Attorneys opposing Ed better bring their "A game" to court. Beneath his polished exterior lies a tenacious and wise West Point graduate who is skillful in exploiting his adversary's weaknesses."
"I endorse this lawyer and think very highly of his professionalism and skills as a criminal defense attorney."
"Ed's education and fierce work ethic has catapulted him into the ranks of more experienced lawyers despite his fewer years of practice. His attention to detail, knowledge of the law, and ability to try a case are unmatched by any attorney with his years of experience. He fights smart and he doesn't worry himself about local politics or how he'll be perceived. He serves his clients."
"I have known Ed Napier since law school and since we have both seen sworn in to practice law, I have had the privilege of observing him in court many times. Ed is an honest, dedicated, and intelligent attorney who is respected by his peers. A true professional. If you have a need for a lawyer in Douglas county or surrounding areas, I highly recommend him."
"Ed is a hard working attorney that fights for his clients. He will do a good job for you."
"Mr. Napier works hard for his clients. He is intelligent, well-spoken, and driven. Call him if you have criminal issues."
"If you need a lawyer in Douglasville call Mr. Napier."
