resisting arrest without violence

I am a Daughter living in Alabama and my 74 year old father was arrested for resisting arrest without violence in Bonita Springs, FL. He has RA and diabetes .I called Brain because of his reviews on here and he was able to get the case thrown out before going to court. We are very happy with Brian . ...He told with me and Then my father was Great and Fast. Brian knows how to get things done. It was great to be able to talk with him with me being out of state and nevering meeting with a him.If you need an Attorney Call Brian!!!!

A lawyer with HONESTY, knowledge, compassion and INFORMED.

I needed a lawyer to help me with a felony case, it was grand lar. and grand theft. I choose Brian because bedsides his Knowledge and experience, he cares you are not just a client..he makes you feel like your case is the top priority and he listens to you. He can be reached so easily anytime I had a... question he would be there to explain it. His knowledge is another fantastic plus. He worked for the state Attorneys office over 20 years thts not something every lawyer can claim with that kinda of representations my case was DISMISSED... There isn't a lawyer that has all the attribute that Mr Edwards has....pick the best pick Brian.

Brian Edwards ** Finally a lawyer who really cares"

I have had Brian Edwards represent me for the last 2 years and if it wasn’t for Brian I wouldn’t be able to write this review that he so willing deserves. When I was detained he kept both me and my family in the loop and worked out the most amazing deal that anyone can imagine. I have dealt with many... attorneys and none have been as forthcoming and caring as Brian. Please take time to consider him for you legal needs as I can assure you that you will be in the best of hands.hands
