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.

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.

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.

"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."
