Exceptional and distinguished attorney

I am so impressed with the legal performance of Ms. Vaavia Edwards that is it difficult to accurately describe the extent of her assistance to our family. Our family is unanimous in the most exceptional and elite recommendations for this distinguished attorney. Some of our family were on the receivin...g end of despicable lies and perjury committed by a cult like family in a child custody case. Ms. Edwards legal endeavors, along with her staff, were successful in RAPID results for removing an injustice delivered to our family and the resurrection and custody of two wonderful children. Ms. Vaavia Edwards and her office employees went to exceptional lengths to deliver the ultimate in professional and personal service. Of the many attorneys we have observed, Ms. Vaavia Edwards is distinguished by an aggressive and tenacious attitude to represent her clients best interest. We offer our highest rating for this most deserving attorney and her people.

Excellent Service

We were blessed to work with Vaavia on our adoption. Our son had been in foster care most of his childhood, but was already an adult when we came to the decision to adopt him legally. This is not a common thing to do - and it took a lot of research, etc. to make sure everything was done properly. Vaa...via and her staff were very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. When we learned that our son was going to be deployed to Afghanistan sooner than expected, we had to speed up the adoption process. Vaavia even got the court date scheduled on a day they didn't normally convene because it was the only day my son could get here for it! Such an amazing experience with such a fabulous outcome. I feel the need to comment on the review prior to mine though. The adoption decree, etc. is something Vaavia's office was so professional. Our calls were always returned very promptly, etc. Shameless plug: If you want to read about our story go to: http://amarillo.com/news/local-news/2011-11-24/adopted-marine-picked-his-parents#.TtaiPXNW5PA
