They are here to help you

I would like to thank Chris Jones, attorney and Michelle Haddock, legal assistant in their recent representation of a legal action. They both went above and beyond in assisting us. Their professionalism and perseverance paid off after many months of continuances and obstacles. Now, the defendant is g...etting the help he needs to become himself again. I can never thank them enough for being with us during this time of need. Many tears were shed, many hours of sleep were lost by family. But, these two never gave up. If I could rate them higher, I certainly would!! I hope this review is seen by many and you will contact them for your legal needs, they are here to help you, that you can count on!!

Professional Legal Services at Edwards and Jones

I recommend the Law Offices of Edwards & Jones. Mr. Jones was my attorney. He was professional yet amiable and put me at ease regarding the merits of my case. Given his input and straight forward approach, I was able to make a confident decision regarding my case which ultimately came to a satisf...actory outcome. Branden Watson, Paralegal, facilitated documents, updates and promptly responded to my questions, filings etc. …. If need be, I will not hesitate to contact Edwards and Jones for legal services. They are good folks to have in your corner.

Not guilty baby

Chris Jones is the best attorney. I called 20 attorneys, and interviewed all of them. Chris was the most knowledgeable, caring and took a personal interest in my life, my case and helped me rebuild my family. Not only did he win my case and put an NG on that board baby as the Lincoln lawyer says a.k....a. not guilty, he was a savant in the courtroom. Words can't express how thankful I am for his work, his knowledge, and business acumen during trial. If you go with any attorney I think would be fair to say that you're not making the right choice. Not guilty baby! Go Chris Jones!
