Effective! A fighter!

I was very satisfied with the result of Wendy's efforts. I was looking for a fighter and she is relentless with her opponent. Exactly what you want in an attorney! I would use her again but let's hope there won't be a need!

Great lawyer

Wendy was able to constructively and concisely work for me to get my issue dismissed through the courts. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your defense needs.

Good Lawyer

I found Wendy to be very understanding of my situation. By going to court for me, my anxiety was greatly reduced. Her and her assistant were always on top of things and the case ended well for me.

She's worth it!

Whether it's a DUI or any Civil matter, Wendy Edwards is one who will take your situation serious. I appreciated the time and effort she invested into my case. I can honestly say if you ever needed Lawyer who's honest and will fight for you till the end, Wendy Edwards is the one.

Excellent DUI / DWI Attorney

Wendy did an outstanding job representing me. I was charged with DUI and she would not take a plea and was not bullied or intimidated by the prosecutor or the policeman. She took the case to trial and destroyed them. Not guilty in less than 30 minutes.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
