Review Samuel Edwards

Gifted Attorney

Posted by

My recent experience in a FINRA arbitration convinced me that Sam Edwards is a very gifted attorney. He was top notch. I needed a good trial lawyer fully acquainted with FINRA and its associated arbitration process. Sam was "the man." Sam and his colleagues could speak with beaucoup experience in such arbitrations. He had the respect of all concerned and with good reason. It was a very impressive performance to me, a trial lawyer with 45 years of experience
