Great Attorney

Edina has been my attorney since 2014. Edina has guided me through some very turbulent times always with a steady hand never allowing me to give into anger or over reach in my litigation proceedings. In my time with Edina she has worked against numerous lawyers on my behalf and has always handled h...erself with dignity and respect while keeping my wishes at the forefront. Edina is always weighing my options and keeping me realistic in divorce and child custody proceedings that can get heated and overwhelming. Edina has worked for me in bargaining proceedings with attorneys and in court against attorneys in both arenas she has done an outstanding job. Edina also has a pleasurable staff to work with from Dana at the front desk to Gina, the main assistant I have worked with over the years, they always treat you like you are their number priority. I would highly recommend Edina to anyone and have.

Fair, smart, and balanced-a real Lifesaver

Edina has been my attorney for more than 7 years and I can state unequivocally that she is among the finest people that I know. Divorce is a messy business and Edina's cool, rationale, demeanor throughout the process made it tolerable, and ensured a fair and equitable division. Perhaps more impressiv...e to me is her unwavering commitment to the well-being of my children throughout the years; she has advocated for and supported efforts to ensure that their emotional and physical health is a prime issue. Truly this is the "family" in Family Law? Professionally, I found Edina to be relentlessly well-prepared and thoroughly organized-this is a real asset when you go to court. I never walked out of a courtroom feeling that I was under-represented or that things could have been handled better. Edina is supported by an outstanding staff of compassionate, empathetic professionals at the McCarthy Law Firm who made (make) me feel valued and trusted as a client. I recommend Edina Strum highly, and without reservation.

Couldn't recommend highly enough

I found Ms. Strum to be very focused on fairness and collaborative solutions, but when that didn't work, she was a fierce litigator for my case, but not obnoxiously aggressive. She stuck to the facts and was impressively sharp in court. My case was complex and involved other attorneys in other states... and Ms. Strum worked well with them to ensure the best possible outcome. I'm embarrassed to admit there were a few times my anger got the better of me and I was unwilling to compromise, but Ms. Strum reminded me to weigh the risk vs reward and always keep my focus on my children. I'm honestly, truly forever grateful for the work she did for me and the style in which she approached it.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have gotten to know Edina as opposing counsel on several cases and have also been a co-presenter with her at seminars. Edina is hard-working, ethical and knowledgeable. She strives to reach non-trial resolutions for her clients when possible and is an effective litigator when necessary. She has a strong commitment to the best interest of children and emphases this in her practice. I highly recommend her."
