Extremely Professional Attorney

I had the opportunity to hire Attorney Edwards to assist in helping me resolve a probate mediation agreement dispute. Although the damage had already been done considering that me and my siblings had already signed the agreement, Attorney Edwards assisted us by reviewing documents and providing us w...ith factual guidance on how to move forward. He was very clear and concise when presenting the best case scenario and he is very knowledgeable regarding the law. I would definitely recommend him because he is very attentive and prompt in answering your questions, emails, and phone calls. I wish I had found him first when I was initially searching for a probate attorney because I do believe he would have put the work in to ensure that we received the outcome that we were looking for. However, considering I didn't, he did a great job in working with what I presented. Not to mention, his prices are not as high as your average probate attorneys.

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.

Took money but didn't represent client

My family paid him $5000.00 to represent our son and he never even filed any paperwork with the courts. He was referred by a family member so I trusted him and he took advantage of us. This happened in 2008 and everysince then he has been promising to pay the money back. I agreed because of his re...lationship with my family member. He has never given a dime back and our son still has the arrest hanging over his head all this time even though he has never been re-arrested since. Please beware of him because he is large in stature and can be very convincing and intimidating. Everything that was accomplished via the case I did.

CALVIN A. EDWARDS JR. ATTORNEY

I would not reccommend this attorney as he has taken $400.00 dollars from our family knowing that he was suspended. Had I not googled the correct name, Calvin instead of Kevin we would continued to be in the dark! We will be taking him to court as he has not returned our phone calls, text messages or... emails!! Calvin stated that if we were'nt satisfied, he would return the money. After informing him of not needing his services he did not return our calls.We are still trying to get in touch with him today 3 February 2011.
