Defendant's hero

Posted by

Edward represented me in a DUI with accident case. He immediately responded to me on a Saturday morning. Right away, I could tell that he cared about giving me the best representation that he could. He gave me realistic expectations on what charges I could be looking at. I appreciated his honesty. He learned all the facts about my case, went above and beyond to help me in my time of need, and kept me updated throughout the process. The State's Attorney's Office offered me 15 days in jail, which would have ended my 19 year career. I put my complete faith in him to go before the Court and plead for an alternative sentence. He made a compelling and heartfelt argument at sentencing, and I received no jail time. His expertise got me the best outcome I could have asked for and he saved my career. I will be forever grateful to him and would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

THC concentrates trouble in South Dakota

Posted by

Edward was the first lawyer to answer our call on the saturday when we were travelling through SD from a state where marijuana is legal. The sherriff caught us in a speed trap and found a thc vape pen and a package of gummies after his canine barked at my husband. All of the other lawyers we called did not respond until Monday. His retainer fee was easily 3,000 dollars less than the larger law offices. He was very responsive, punctual, and incredibly patient with our questions and gave very detailed answers. This was our first time ever hiring a lawyer or being arrested so we had many questions and were terrified this could ruin our family financially if my husband received a felony. If you have a record or argued with the officer you better cross your fingers and pray. Edward will do his best, but you are in deep trouble. But if you have a clean record and honestly regret your actions and follow Edwards advice you just might come through this unscathed like we did. Edward made a good, genuine, heartfelt argument on our behalf and we couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

Would recommend to my own mother!

Edward is straightforward, honest, brilliant and empathetic. He treated me like a peer and not a criminal. Edward got me the best possible outcome that I could have asked for. He is a down to earth attorney and he kept me informed of everything that was going on...as well as anything that could have happened. I felt like my bases were all covered. I could not possibly provide a better recommendation to any attorney or business in Sioux Falls. Edward lives up to his last name!!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

Edward was knowledgeable about the subject matter and always had a detailed response to any question I asked. He was very quick on responding to any emails I sent, and as you know, when there is something that needs a lawyer, it usually means that things will be urgent. I appreciated Edward's services.

DUI case

Posted by

Edward was incredibly professional through the whole process in my DUI case. He was always quick to inform me of updates and give me all the information I needed when I had questions. I never felt at any point worried or concerned about the level of representation I was getting because it was at the highest most professional level to which the service he provided. Not having ever been in trouble with the law, I was worried about the whole process but Edward provided me reassurance by his expert knowledge of the law and worked hard to get me the best result. I would highly recommend Edward to anyone and greatly appreciate all of his help in representing me.

Quick answer and informative

I found Mr Angel's response to my question very informative and helpful and he was so quick to reply. He is not from my area and even so, offered good advice and gave me direction on how to get the information I need.

Edward saved my life!

Posted by

I got an out of state DUI as a resident of California visiting South Dakota and Edward Angel was the most helpful person I could have ever dreamed of. Kept in constant contact with me. Went above and beyond his requirements to help me as much as he could. Was everything anyone could want out of a legal counselor and at the most affordable rate possible! If only everyone was like him!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Angel is a very effective and knowledgeable attorney. His representation of his clients is excellent.

Rahul Aggarwal

An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services.

Nicole Griese, Criminal defense Attorney on Dec 14, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Edward and I had co-defendants on a matter. He is genuine and very knowledgeable. He is easy to work with. Edward brings his prosecutorial experience to the table to provide a well-rounded aggressive defense for his clients. Edward has also helped me out in the courtroom on a separate matter when I was having a first time experience. He clearly explained what I needed to do, which I greatly appreciated! Not everyone takes the time to help others out and that act showed his kind character. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer.

Kenneth Jacobs, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 1, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Edward and I were on opposing sides for many years as he was a county prosecutor and I a county public defender. Facing Edward always brought out the best in me as I know he would be overly prepared on every case. He was very straight forward with me on cases we tried against each other. Edward is not afraid to spend the extra time on a case if it is needed. If he was in the courtroom I knew I had to be more prepared than other days. I would say we handled many hundred if not thousands of cases against each other and I felt this way every time. I strongly endorse Edward as he is levelheaded and extremely hard working, no matter the issues presented.
