"I know Ms. Edwards well, both personally and professionally. Ms. Edwards was an associate attorney in the firm I joined first out of law school. She was a valuable asset to me as a young attorney, showing me the ropes and acting as a mentor. We worked on several cases together. Having worked as a staff attorney for Jacksonville Area Legal Aid earlier in her career, Ms. Edwards is extremely passionate about her clients and her cases and goes above and beyond to assist her clients the best way she can. I happily endorse this attorney."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Ms. Edwards-Rivera. In working with her in the past few years, she always is responsive and helpful and seems to do her absolute best with her cases. I chose "Foreclosure" above for a practice area to endorse, but I think she practices in other areas of consumer law as well."

Avvo Rating

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.
