Thank you Calvin!

Imagine your in a position where your life is flashing in front of your eyes.......That is the feeling I had when my husband and i found out that if he were to be convicted of the charges that he had against him he would be facing 15 to 25 yrs in prison which to most is a lifetime. In a position like... that you need to have a lawyer behind you who you know has your best at heart. Initial contact with Mr.edwards was welcoming and comforting I left his office knowing that if I had to put my husbands life in someones hands it would be his without a doubt! To make this long story short My husband was facing federal prison time if convicted of his charges. Calvin put in a motion to suppress and WON! The charges had to be dismissed and now my husband is a free man. I cant put into words how thankful I am and how much appreciate everything he has done for my family. IF YOU NEED A CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY WHO IS GOING TO FIGHT FOR YOU AS HARD AS YOU WOULD FIGHT FOR YOURSELF I RECOMMEND MR.EDWARDS without hesitation!

Excellent Defense Lawyer

My initial contact with Mr. Calvin A. Edwards, Jr. was one on skepticism. But once Mr. Edwards, Jr. combed through my allegations and proposed the best solution/s on my behalf, I’m delighted and truly thankful he argued my case. Through his clear, precise and effective legal expertise, I'm now left... with a sentencing decision which I can live with. Looking back in retrospect, I realize that the disposition of my case could have been more desirable if I had solely depended on Mr. Edwards, litigation knowledge. I was looking at a lifelong prison sentence with no chance of parole, but again, thanks to Mr. Calvin A. Edwards, Jr. my sleepless nights are less common now. I would highly recommend Mr. Edwards to potential clients. He was and is a Great Lawyer! D.M.B.

Knowledgeable, trustworthy and to the point

Calvin Edwards Jr.is a lawyer that want you to listen and trust his skills as your attorney.He took a very high profile federal case that i was involved in and my out come wasn't looking the brightest.Once he came to visit me i was been held on an no bond situation. With in a month or so after receiv...ing a percented of the $15000 that he was charging i was home with my family.And over the couse of this case he has work to get me from facing a sentence that can carry well over 6yrs. To a low sentence even a possibility of probation.So i would like to say if you have a friend or family member that need and a attorney or lawyer.How ever u would want to label him he will work with them and for them all they have to do is listen. And hold on to his coat tail and i am sure they will be happy as well. He kept me informed from our 1st visit tell the end weather in person by email or text.

GOT ME NO PRISON TIME ON A FEDERAL DRUG CASE

I worked with Calvin Edwards for three years. My case begun in 2009 and I was sentenced in 2012. I was indicted on federal drug conspiracy. Calvin worked hard, he was consistent and I trusted every move he made. I paid him $20,000 and his service was well worth every dollar. He did not allow me to pl...ea out to the mandatory minimum (10 years). Once Mr. Edwards presented going to trial to the prosecutor, I was offered a lesser charge that only holds a max of three years prison time. I was sentenced to three years probation. I will definitely recommend Mr. Edwards because his diligent work has me free with my children and I did not cooperate with the Federal Government to receive the sentence that I was given.
