Victoria Isabel Edwards

In 2016, my father was incarcerated. His case was very difficult so we hired an attorney (I will not say his name) from a different firm. This attorney did not show up to my father’s hearing after he repeatedly said he was. Instead, he sent Victoria Edwards to represent my father in court. I was very... thankful for her presence; however, I was afraid that she would possibly bail out on us as well. She proved me wrong. Ms. Edwards and I began to communicate and talk about my father’s case. We met in several different occasions. Coming from a family whose first language is Spanish, Ms. Edwards was very patient with me having to translate to my mother what she was explaining to me since my mother did not know English. She answered every question and kept in contact with us with. She never treated us bad, always with respect. You can tell that she really wanted to help. Because our first attorney was not in the country during this event, Ms. Edwards took that extra step to organize my father’s paperwork. She even asked us for extra paperwork just to be safe. She would say “Anything you have that you think that may benefit your dad, I want it.” Because my father’s case was very complicated we had to switch to another attorney who was specialized in appeals meaning that Ms. Edwards was no longer our lawyer. Aside from her profession, she is a very nice woman. You can tell that she is passionate and enjoys helping people. I’m thankful my family does not need her any more, but what I do know is that if I ever encounter myself in another situation relating to immigration, she is the first one I will call. Thank You again Victoria for everything! (-:
