Posted by Heather | September 11, 2012 | DUI & DWI

Edi handled my divorce and custody issues like a pro. She also handled a DUI wich she got dismissed.

Edi is a great no-nonsense type of lawyer. She handled to emergency ex-parte work that needed to be done immediately and that was before I had even paid her. She went up against some pretty big names in town considering my ex father-in -law is an attorney. When it didn't go their way they would chang...e lawyers. She wasn't fazed. They filed motion after ridiculous motion to try to make me run out of patience and resources. She gave me the backing I needed to be able to stand my ground. She understood where I was coming from because she used to be a legal secretary and didn't start out life with a silver spoon in her mouth. She focused, as we agreed, on getting the exact parenting plan I wanted even if that cost me in the financial department. We got the parenting plan and I got screwed on the debt but that wasn't her fault. That was because of some quick maneuvering from the other side. She also handled a DUI I was charged with. I wasn't intoxicated which the tests proved. But the prosecutor insisted I plea to DUI. Edi quickly got a plea to running a red light. Not because I would have lost if we fought but just because of the overall cost. Smart move. Good advice.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
