My husband and I were very pleased with Mr. Edwards' representation in our case. We won the justice we deserved.

Yes, we would recommend Mr. Edwards. He is an honest man which we thought impossible to find as a lawyer. He reviewed the facts in our case and was very supportive throughout the very long process before getting to trial. We endured great suffering after the accident and Mr. Edwards made certain w...e were compensated for what we experienced. We did not expect full compensation, however, after using another lawyer that just took our money, but did nothing to resolve our case, Mr. Edwards gave us hope and restored our respect for the legal profession. He is an amazing trial lawyer and very impressive in the courtroom. We have referred others to him since and for those who have had their cases resolved, they have expressed the same feelings. We are grateful to Mr. Edwards. Our family can now start to heal.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
