Tim and his office

I was referred to Tim by a friend. At the time I thought I had virtually no rights as a father. My wife was getting involved with a person that I felt was unworthy to be around our three young children. There were drugs issues and illegal activities going on. My wife was very confident that I had no ...rights. Tim and Robin on the other hand, assured me that I most certainly did have rights. I didn't believe them. Very long story short. After a year and one half long divorce trial, I received full custody of my three children. During which time, Tim and his office proved that there were circumstances that were not at all acceptable for kids. Further, it was obvious to me after a short time that it was Tim's first and foremost concern that those kids were in a safe environment! Tim and his office are above and beyond when it comes to integrity, honesty, and doing what is right for a family. I can't say enough for what they did for my kids and I. My hat is off to this team.

Tim Edwards and his Team are Dedicated to You, the client

Tim Edwards and his firm have significantly helped me over the last 7 years with my ongoing child support issues and an ex that chooses not to work so he does not have to pay child support. Not only did Tim and his team help through each situation, Tim attended court with me each time and represented... me to the fullest. Tim is always responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend Tim and his team to anyone battling with divorce, child custody or child support.

Tim Edwards was highly recommended and well deserved.

Tim Edwards Law Firm was highly recommended and I had no regrets after hiring him. His entire staff was very professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable and responsive. I thought we had an entire team working on our behalf. I felt confident from the first interview with Mr. Edwards that he and his staf...f were absolutely the best choice for the case. I have already recommended him and will continue to do so in the future.

Wisdom; of people and the law

I contacted Tim Edwards on the recommendation of an acquaintance. My first consultation with Tim was over 15 years ago. He didn't rush me to divorce court; he had the wisdom to advise me to wait, based on what I shared. When the time was right, I went back to him. He and his staff then handled my... ugly divorce and drama-filled custody case with wisdom and expertise--and the best interest of the children at the core. Even though we won custody, ex-spouses don't always follow parenting plans. Within the last year, I called on Tim for advice. He proceeded to win a Contempt of Court case against my ex. Dealing with attorneys, courts, and ex's can bring emotional challenges. Tim is not only a brilliant attorney, but he and his staff are wonderful counselors as well. They know how to help a client through difficult times with empathy, compassion, understanding, and good advice. I've recommended Tim to friends and acquaintances on more than several occasions. I'd recommend him to anyone--except the other side.

PEACE OF MIND

After consulting with 3 different lawyers, I chose Tim Edwards because of 2 things - honesty and integrity. He didn't fill me with false hopes and promises, instead he explained the facts and how the courts would interprete them such that I could even understand the trouble I was in. He also said he... wasn't cheap and required a retaining fee to even start. That forced me to think long and hard about what I was getting into. After 21 years of marrage, 3 kids and a wife that hasn't worked since we were married - I had a lot a stake! I chose Tim because of his honesty, but it was his knowledge, experience and integrity that earned my respect. Tim and his entire staff were excellent to work with throughout the whole process. They were all very professional and respectful, yet really took the time to know me and my situation. Their knowledge and experience of the court process and personnel were instrumental in negoitating a fair settlement. While my case had few unexpected turns, they were albe to work within their estimated fee. Nobody wants to go to court, at least I didn't. However, if ya find yourself in situation where you need a GOOD lawyer, I would recommend Tim Edwars and Associates - because you may not get a second chance.

"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."
