Professional and oustanding!

When approaching a legal matter of any kind, in my particular case, family law, you cannot help but be overcome with fear. As parents we work diligently to provide our children with a safe home and happy life. While calling countless attorneys prior to Gomez Edwards, a close friend of mine recommende...d this firm. There is a couple things worth mentioning besides their impeccable work ethic, empathy, understanding and overall moral compass. Speaking on my own experience, Lauren has been a godsend. She is knowledgeable, diligent, and extremely dedicated. Given the tumultous background of my case I tend to be a nervous wreck, Lauren has been empathetic and patient throughout, which she truly does not get enough credit for. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Her ability to explain difficult legal verbiage is confounding. It is overly evident that she is well rounded in all family law standards, and legalities. I appreciate that their interest is unbiased in providing what is best for my children and those of others. Her professionalism, knowledge, and attentiveness is incomparable. She is brilliant. I have also had the pleasure of speaking to Natalie, this firm works as a team and it's evident their communication is impeccable. When speaking to Natalie it goes without saying, she knows exactly what she is talking about. Her confidence is admirable and plays a huge role on creating trust. There are many things I have learned over the course of my own case and the knowledge of such experts that have provided alot of clarity has made a difference. I am impressed by her professionalism, diligence, and overall integrity. Natalie is fierce, dedicated and passionate about her field of work. I have had the pleasure of also speaking to Virgilio, another pillar of their firm and nonethless an incredibly kind and respectful person. I appreciate his understanding, professionalism and again, I am impressed by their work ethic individually and as a firm. They have continued to be extrememely responsive and knowledgeable about any hurdle, question, anxiety attack, or matter related to the case. Working with firm that provides such professionalism, honesty, and shares a clear moral compass of wanting to help in a non aggressive way is compelling. They work as a unit, whether it's the attorneys or Caiti who handles all administration she has been timely, patient, and responsive. I recommend this firm to anyone looking, I know how scary it is to essentially trust others with important life changing decisions/matters. The thing about this firm is they are ultimately good people, they will not hesistate in being honest no matter what side of the fence you are on. They are scrupulous and respectable. Five stars, isn't nearly enough.

Professional and Prepared

Lauren and Natalie are a true professional team and hands on. They have high morals and ethics unlike other attorneys that delay the process and paperwork to make a few extra bucks. You basically hire 2 experienced attorneys for nearly the price of one. Gomez Edwards Law Group is VERY knowledge...able in family law. They were able to recite family code off the top of their head when the judge asked for justification on an argument. Collectively, we drafted a 100 page motion to support our argument against my spouse’s “extended” vacation to file for divorce outside our residence county and take our children with her. Gomez Edwards Law Group educates their clients about the law/judicial/court process. I was very nervous, stressed and overwhelmed at times, but with their expertise I felt relieved. I couldn’t have asked for a better law firm.

Balanced Representation

Natalie was very honest and up front with her explanations of the process and the possibilities of the various outcomes. She was supportive and understanding on a personal level. She exercised good humor and remained composed in the face of a rather uppity and combatant defense lawyer. Her and her ...office were very responsive and prompt and offered a variety of services to me from just consulting, to consulting and accompanying to straight up representation. In the end I hired Natalie and the firm to represent me because I knew they would represent my best interests and help me get finish my case efficiently and effectively.

Divorce Success

Natalie and Lauren did an excellent job with my case. They explained to me what to expect and expanded my knowledge of the process significantly. Natalie problem solved whatever my ex threw at us and kept the divorce on track. She did her best to keep the situation as amicable as possible, but overca...me whatever obstacles were thrown at us and followed through on my best interests. Natalie knows many shortcuts to move the process forward in a timely manner. I appreciate all the hard work Natalie did for me. I also appreciate that she was honest with me about my situation and didn't promise me anything she couldn't deliver. She got me a better settlement than I expected to get before I hired her. I recommend her highly.

GOT THE JOB DONE!!!!

I have been in a 3 year complicated divorce with my ex wife. I have hired 4 other attorneys to try and receive final judgement. However, they would fix the immediate issues but not be able to close my case. Opposite side has dragged this out for financial reasons, custody reasons, false allegations y...ou name it. Natalie was able to step in aggressively and not only get what I wanted but more. She was honest, transparent, SHOWED COMPASSION, and for once I felt I was paying someone who cared about my future rather than just my check. I was embarrassed to give her a hug when I settled but I want her to know how much I sincerely appreciate her work. Most importantly she is allowing me to move forward in life!
