This dude is the real deal. You can't go wrong with Edward Okwueze

Mr. Okwueze is an honest and professional attorney who handles business at the highest standard. He charges far less than older seasoned attorneys but even with any amount of money you will not find better representation. He is young, knowledgeable and sharp as a tack. He treated me with respect and ...communicated on a slightly casual level which put me at EZE. He knew I was paying him and he was working for ME. After a financially paralyzing 7 months with a misleading corrupt attorney I had nothing to show for my charges of Family Violence and Interference with duties of a public servant and was coaxed into signing papeework to release him. I called Edward in desperation after spending HOURS of time seeking an attorney for a reasonable price. I contacted Edward on a Thursday evening, explained my situation. I had court the following morning. With 0 hesitation he agreed to meet me there in court. That Friday, the judge reset my cases for the next Tuesday which allowed very little time for preperation for this old case. Edward worked during the weekend, showed up Tuesday a.m., had my family violence case dismissed and time served for the interference without even making it to trial even though the judge was pushing for trial. In two apperances he did what my previous attorney (who was formally a judge) couldn't do in seven months ... For 10% of the price!! It is obvious that he is not money hungry or dishonest and he fought to take care of my cases in less than a week. After seven of the roughest months of my life he came through and changed my life for the better. He was the light at the end if the tunnel. He does his job right and he does it well. During a rather brief phone consultation the night before my court date, based on facts that I provided, he explained reasonable outcomes I could expect and we agreed that the ultimate goal is dismassal which he accomplished. He was confident, direct and did not mislead me or make false promises. After our phone consultation I thought to myself Wow, this guy seems way too good to be true. No way he is that good at such a reasonable cost. Where are the bad reviews or evidence of misconduct? None that I can find. You will be highly satisfied. I will never choose or allow any family members to utilize any other attorney going forward. If you want the best possible representation. STOP LOOKING, EDWARD OKWUEZE IS THE REAL DEAL.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
