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.

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.

Hired a firm, got a great group of friends!

It's unfortunate to read the bad reviews people have left on here about this firm. I had a totally different experience with Tim Edwards and Associates. My final bill WAS expensive, but divorce is not usually cheap and you get what you pay for. My divorce and custody battle was stressful and ugly, a...s most are, but through it all i always felt that EVERYONE at the firm cared about ME, and showed so much compassion for what my ex and his attorney put me thru. The firm did what they could to keep my costs as low as possible, even giving me the option to do as much of the work as i could on my own. The paralegals and legal assistants also did as much of the work as they could, keeping my costs down. I was always kept in the know as to the status of my case, and communication was always prompt! I called the office several times in hysterics and someone was always willing to "talk me down" from the ledge. Phone calls and emails were always returned to me quickly, and i genuinely enjoyed talking with Tim during our 4 hour mediation. During my initial consultation, it was believed that my case would be fairly simple, and it should have been, but the truth is you can't reason with unreasonable people, and my ex and his counsel were very unreasonable. It didn't take long for my ex's attorney to dry up my initial retainer, and i was NEVER pressured by anyone at the firm about the money. (I have since paid my balance) I aways felt that they were after my best interest. My divorce drug out for a little over a year, and has been final for two years this month. I have since remarried and moved out of state with my husband who serves in the military. We recently found out that we will be transferred out of the country, and i have again hired Tim's office to handle the proper filings for the move. Again, i was not pressured for money. I know hiring an attorney is scary, and you don't know who you can trust. There is a lot of money at stake and reviews can be deceiving. As i mentioned before, if you are going into a divorce, know it WILL cost you (unless you are lucky enough to agree on EVERYTHING with your ex), and you NEVER know how a judge will rule. I was drug thru the mud, but it was at no fault of Tim Edwards or his staff, they were nothing but wonderful to me then, and even now i consider them valued friends! You will NOT be sorry if you hire Tim Edwards and Associates, they are all amazing people and i feel so blessed to have them on my side.

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."
