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.

You REALLY want Tim Edwards on your side...

My experience with Tim Edwards and his entire firm has been exceptional in every way. Tim is very knowledgeable, up front, honest, responsive, and a master of strategy. His knowledge of the court system, the law, and ability to read a situation are amazing. I knew after the first 10 minutes of my ...initial consultation I would be retaining him to represent me. He lived up to and exceeded my expectations. I was kept very well informed of everything happening during the multiple revisions, and modifications that I needed to go through. I was always presented with all the options available to me and was given critical knowledge to help me make the best decisions possible for myself and my daughter. Working with Tim and the entire staff at Tim Edwards and Associates was a pleasure during very stressful and uncertain times. They do all of the little things that let you know you are important and not just another case. Everyone there is willing to take the extra effort to make sure things are taken care of in a timely manner. I always heard back from someone the same day or the next morning after leaving a message. I even walked in off the street one afternoon, saw Tim behind the receptionist's desk. After I told him my problem he came in early the next morning for my appointment. I would HIGHLY recommend Tim Edwards to anyone in need of a family law attorney. I have, and will continue to refer people to his firm. You will not do any better.

Don't waste your time.

This firm is very expensive and seems to be on your side but as soon as you question them, they will drop you. We asked a simple question to another lawyer (information Mr. Edward's office should of given us about appealing a decision) and he dropped us. Very unorganized. Each time we met with Mr.... Edwards we had to explain the residential plan and each time he pulled out a piece of scratch paper to write it down. Of course he billed us for this time. Told us they would counter contempt, go after unpaid funds and also go after harassment by the father because of how many times he has taken us to court. At the trial none of this was brought up and the lawyer (Mr. Edward's colleage) was ill and not very articulate. The firms insisted on writing our declaration which took them 4 hours (or $900.00) when we could of easily written it ourself. When found in contempt and the judge asked what a penalty should be and our lawyer did not even speak up and left it to the judge for the decision which was lost of the child for one week. Very harsh penalty for minor mistake. If Tim Edwards suggest that you "keep your gun powder dry", run for the door as fast as you can.

"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."
