"Edmund is one of the few lawyers that I have known whom provides quality client services (I have interacted with many lawyers before so believe me when I say that). He proactively set up multiple meetings and calls with me to go over the details of my trust - some of the stuff I don't even think of/remember and he was able to pinpoint them. I also rely on him in educating me about all the legal languages, implications, etc." - Amy
