Fair Mediator Who Doesn't Automatically Side with Either Party

As a father going through a difficult custody situation, I was concerned about finding a mediator who would actually be fair rather than automatically favoring one parent over the other. Tim Edwards exceeded my expectations. He was genuinely neutral, listened to both sides equally, and focused on ...what was best for the kids rather than on legal gamesmanship. He asked tough questions of both parties, challenged unreasonable positions (from both sides), and helped us reach a settlement that was fair and workable. What impressed me most was his professionalism and patience. This was not an easy mediation, but Tim stayed calm, kept us focused, and ultimately helped us reach an agreement that we both could sign. We avoided trial, saved significant time and money, and have a clear path forward. If you're a parent (father or mother) looking for a mediator who will actually be fair and neutral, I highly recommend Tim Edwards. He earned every bit of respect I have for him.

Miracle Worker x10

I hired Tim over five years ago for my divorce. I was scared, I was hurt, I thought I had nothing. I didn't know what to do or how I was going to do it. Tim saw me, he saw me; and he new what I would need to succeed in this process. I needed to move out of state to be near family. He did it. At th...e time I didn't know how important it was going to be to be near family. But he did. I half fought him on it, but he stuck to it and made it happen. It can be hard to move out of state in a divorce case; not for Tim. I was scared about my financial future. Tim got me on the right track, and as expensive as he is, he's not half as expensive as so many other incompetent lawyers. He was brilliant, and he did it brilliantly. Worth every penny! You don't just get Tim when you hire this firm, you get the whole team. Everyone knows what's going on and everyone works for you. The team work is where it's at. All those perspectives working together to get you the best outcomes. Unbeatable!!! My divorce has been final for almost 5 years now. I've moved out of state and had to work with other lawyers... I'm telling you... Tim is the best. I thought so then, but I really think so now. Remember, it's been five years, and I would still hire Tim again in a heart beat. I wish I could have found another Tim out here. But even more, thanks to Kyleigh! She's the paralegal I worked with and ask for her, she's the best. Thank you Robin! Thank you everyone. You all did it for me, and I owe you everything.

Miracle worker

I had a horrendous divorce to a horrendous women. After years of battling with la bruja a abusive neglectful mother he worked a miracle to get the resolution we had wanted for years. The man walks on water. God bless you Tim and thank you

Divorce

After going through two other attorneys who did almost nothing for me I found Timothy by recommendation. He and his staff were professional and thorough. During mediation Timothy discovered about $100,000 that should be awarded to me but had not been accounted for. Very nice and well worth the fee ...I was charged.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I worked under Mr. Edwards while in law school and learned valuable experience about how to not only practice in the field of family law, but also how to conduct yourself as a professional. He is not only a great litigator and fierce advocate for his clients, but he also maintains his professionalism while seeking justice for his clients. I now practice in family law and criminal defense and still use daily the knowledge he taught me by practice and example."

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.
