Posted by Mayra | March 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Custody

I. Strongly recommend Edgar Garcia i went through a horrible custody battle where the other parent took my daughter to Minnesota due to the court defaulting my paper for not paying a fee waiver in time. Edgar helped me with my case and understood my devastation. Edgar is by far not only the best lawy...er in imperial county, but will defend his clients. I have never seen such a dedicated person. I am beyond thankful and if anyone goes through custody battles Edgar is the lawyer you need to hire.

Highly Recommend

I recommend Attorney Garcia to anyone having child custody, visitation and support issues. Attorney Garcia and his staff were helpful and knowledgeable. I was informed of what to expect approaching every phase of my case. I found comfort in knowing that my rights were being protected, and knowing ...that my children's best interest was also kept a priority. Being in a courtroom can be confusing and scary for anyone, but being well informed and prepared along the way makes the process easier.

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.
