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.

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.

You can count on this team

Not only would I recommend this lawyer, but I have. Yes, he is expensive, but after 21yrs of marriage, 2 kids, and an ex that makes $100k MORE THAN ME, I WANT someone that knows what he is doing! You get what you pay for people....I don't go to a vending machine for coffee for $.25 because I can ge...t good coffee at a Starbucks.....same thing. They call me right back, they answer ALL of my questions...the good and the crazy...and they put me at ease. Mr. Edwards went to court WITH ME when I had to face my ex and the judge, and we only got $400 LESS than what we were asking, AND he fought for my kids. Say what you want, PAY for what you want...but if you want effective and you want ON YOUR SIDE.....I would recommend Mr. Edwards.

"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."
