Robert Byrne Edmondson

Mr. Edmondson made an initial impact upon me when he declared that I shouldn't expect to receive any undue windfalls from my dissolution proceedings, but that I could expect to receive every consideration that I was entitled to under the law. His assessment of the particulars in my case as well as hi...s ability to hone in on the most pertinent matters eliminated unnecessary costs and wasted time. He was very fair in his billing. For anyone that understands that divorce is a business transaction within time-tested legal parameters, Mr. Edmondson is an excellent choice. Highly recommended, as evidenced by the recommendations I've made already.

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 also agree with the most recent positive review. Mr Edmondson was knowledgeable, honest and realistic. He promised right from the beginning that he was not able to perform miracles, but would endeavour to ensure that the outcome of my trial would be fair and within the California divorce laws and... it was. Do not retain this attorney if you have not done some research on divorce in CA or have expectations that you are not going to have to pay your court ordered child support (caculated by your income versus that of your ex spouse - not the attorney), or you're going to get the house, the car, the kids and off scott free from any financial responsibilities, you won't. I have and will continue to recommend Mr Edmondson as a divorce attorney.

Mr,. Edmondson is amazing. He is VERY knowledgeable in family law and it shows. Not only did he explain everything to me, but he made sure to be honest with me, as most lawyers do not. He also was very fair in regards to his bill, he did not charge me for some of his work and I received everything I ...asked for from my ex husband in court. Honestly I do not know why the other ratings are so bad for him. His assistant and paralegal were both very nice and helpful throughout this entire nightmare divorce. I have never had a problem with bad attitudes at this office. I have even recommended Mr. Edmondson to a few friends and they have been happy with his services as well. I even received a portion of money back from my retainer that had not been used. If anyone had a problem with Mr. Edmondson or his office I would tell them to take another look back on the situation cause I really just cant believe what they are saying. I would use Mr. Edmondson again.

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.
