A loyal, honest lawyer that you should definitely look into hiring

Stephen Edwards was the perfect lawyer that my company and I could have hired. Documents are very wordy and tricky sometimes and Mr. Edwards excels at defining what it really states. He is very technical and carefully analyzes the situation to properly guide you into the right direction. His backgrou...nd is very extensive which makes him very knowledgeable in multiple areas. His assessment isn't just coming from education but from real life situations that he has represented before or been a part of. Experience with honesty is very important and Mr. Edwards has the experience and honesty to direct you with in harsh and simple situations. He still is a huge help to our corporation and personal dealings.

Child Custody

Stephen Edwards is a genuinely good person and a great attorney. He actually cares about the children involved in his cases. From the day I met Steve he has done an excellent job on my case. I would like to add my child custody case is very complex & extremely frustrating. Steve's cool temperament an...d fact based approach to family law really helps when you feel like your world has been turned upside down and your worried sick about your child. When it comes to the question of would I recommend this lawyer? I have recommended Steve to a friend of mine dealing with a very scary situation concerning his children moving away to a very unfit environment. Steve took care of this case so fast and my friends children are safe and with him full time as I write this. If you're looking for an honest family lawyer that actually cares about people then you should call Steve. If you're looking to continue in a high conflict relationship with your children's mother or father Steve is not the lawyer for you. Steve doesn't play games or deal with non since. He argues the facts and sticks to the issues of whats best for the children. Thanks for everything Steve!

Great choice for family law in Ventura County!

Great lawyer! Excellent litigator for family law! Highly recommended for family law, custody issues, separation, & divorce. Steve made a tough situation bearable, & helped me win a favorable outcome in the custody dispute. Knowledgeable, convincing litigator, empathetic counselor, & superbly research...ed legal strategist.

Steve Edwards is a smart and effective attorney

Steve Edwards has worked on a number of cases for my company over several years providing very effective representation. I find Steve's ability to talk and write in English rather than "legalese" refreshing and his approach practical and straight forward. We have worked together on complex litigati...on as well as filing a simple law suit to compel payments of past due obligations. His ability to cut through complexities to frame arguments and opinions has been very much effective, saved me quite a bit of legal fees, but most importantly a winning strategy. Steve represents the best of what I expect from my attorney.
