Defendant's hero

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.

DUI case

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.

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."

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."

  • 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.
