Robert Byrne Edmondson

I recommend this lawyer but one of his paralegals, Donna, has no place being in this type of environment. Period. First, Mr. Edmonson is a great lawyer, he is brutally honest and doesn't sugar coat or beat around the bush. My issue is not with Mr. Edmonson or his other assistant up front, but with Do...nna. I can not tell you how many times I have been told that she would get back to me, and never did. How many times she would send me emails with important documents and the email was either blank (no attachment) or the attachment was for someone elses file. How many times she was just flat out rude, cold and just had the attitude that she was being bothered. My biggest complaint is that the documents being provided to me to sign, once I actually received them, were almost always wrong. The spelling of names, bank accounts, property going to the wrong person, typos galore. In general her disposition is very off putting. The corrections that needed to be made time after time really took a toll on me, especially when you pointed out a mistake and then next thing she will not take your calls or respond to emails. Again, if it weren't for the rest of the staff I would have fired this attorney and started the process all over again with someone else. I am not paying all this money to be treated like a second class citizen because I have to constantly point out a million mistakes. Oh and don't ask her questions because she will snap at you. It is a shame that Mr. Edmonson has someone with her disposition working with his clients.

Sharp, didn't waste my time with extraneous stuff. looked the ex in the eye and said "sorry Charlie". Very upfront, got it done quickly considering how my ex just wanted to drag it out. Donna and Morgan very helpful. I felt very relieved and confident once Bob took charge. Got what I wanted and t...hen some. Cost was very fair ,especially when I compared notes with other divorcing friends! Recommend highly

Mr. Edmondson, Donna and Morgan were very supportive, knowledgeable and there for all of my non stop questions and concerns regarding my divorce. After being married for 20 years I did not know that it would be such a trying process. I could not have survived this without all of their help. Mr. Edmon...dson knows what he is doing and gave it to me straight. I may not have liked all the answers, but they were the correct answers. He never sugar coated anything and told me exactly what to expect. For that I thank him. I did not want to go through this with unrealistic expectations of what I would get from my now EX husband. As for Morgan and Donna, they were WONDERFUL!!! They too know what they are doing and I appreciate all the support they offered me during this difficult time. I recommend him to everyone.

I wish I had known about this database/read this review before I got into my divorce proceedings! I was referred to Mr. Edmondson from a family friend and unfortunately I am not be able to refer him. I continually struggled to understand what the impact would be for the various options that were pr...esented to me.. My first visit to his office he literally said I didn't need an attorney, no one would believe what was documented by my ex.. On the day of the hearing it's 100% the opposite! He never admitted it, but he forgot about a statue that hurt me and to this day I do not have the custody that I deserve for my children. I was not emotionally prepared for the hearing --for 35 years of practice, it seems he shoud have at least prepped me for the event..or referred me to someone who could have.. I was like a dear in head-lights unable to really "hear" what was being requested of me.. I am thousands of dollars out of pocket with litigation expenses and matters are still unresolved after almost two years. On the plus side. he was responsive to calls/emails. He did try to inform me about what needed to be done with the case, but nearly every conversation with him I still did not completely understand all the issues/decisions and more importantly their impact on me.. I did have a good experience with his assistant, she was very helpful, but agree with the comments about the receptionist. It seems her job is primarily bill collection.. so I guess that's why he hired someone with her disposition.. She was never hostile, but certainly not warm, caring, friendly.. Sigh.. I just wish I had known about this resource and acted sooner to find another attorney..

Atty did not explain my rights, protect my rights, fight for my rights, did not read important documents, create and explain best strategy for my case, did not provide me with documents filed by other side in a timely manner or at all sometimes, often until I found out about them and had to keep aski...ng for copy. I received one document almost two months later! This is unacceptable. Many of opposing sides arguments went unanswered because of this, and I lost a lot in my case including the judge's outlook on me and my case because of his lazy, arrogant, I'm better than you, attitude. He seems to think he is hot stuff. He is seemingly smart and has been around 30+ years and should be able to represent clients well. But he did not work to protect or fight for me. He also cursed vulgarly when meeting with me (not aimed at me, but my ex) which I did not find professional or appropriate. His receptionist/assistant is also arrogant and cold, did not send me copies of documents although she claimed to, but there was evidence they were not sent. Assistant is not warm or welcoming at all. Assistant is not an asset to office. Not good when they charge a lot per hour and can not be respectful, a hardworking advocate for, somewhat warm and welcoming to clients, and keep client informed by giving client copies of documents as soon as they receive them. I now have heard others' experienced this atty as lazy and arrogant, too. Really disappointed. I lost a lot of ground I shouldn't have by using this atty. He and his asst need to revamp their attitude and representation.
