John C. Edwards

This lawyer spoke to me by phone, thanked me for choosing him, told me he would review some court paperwork for me and make a couple of calls. He quoted me a fee and said his paralegal would send me an agreement. I spent several days going back and forth with his paralegal, only to find out ONE DAY ...before the court deadline that he had not in fact done any of the work he said he would do. He left me stranded, and I do not consider him trustworthy.

I have never hired an attorney in the past. I retained Mr. Edwards' services on a recommendation of a friend in what became a 'messy' divorce with a lot of different issues at stake. Mr. Edwards and his team listened thoughtfully as to what I wanted from the divorce. What I wanted was a fair and... equitable settlement and my spouse and I as equal partners as parents. The team never lost sight of that goal. It took a long time and was an expensive journey, however having Mr. Edwards as a partner with me in this was instrumental in us arriving at the settlement we achieved. I consider Mr. Edwards and his team as friends now. Not only did they help me achieve the most optimal legal outcome for me, but they were not only legal counsel but understood the emotional component of dividing a family. They were advocates for their client while recognizing that everyone in this are human beings and not just a payday.

Me. Edwards is a rare blend of experienced, solid representation with a good heart for what is good over the long term for his clients. He listens with the ear of a counselor and fights with conviction to get true justice. He is a one of a kind in his field and respected by all others in his field wh...ich says a lot. He is truthful about the reality and limitations of the system and doesn't make false promises to get a big retainer check. He doesn't over litigate to drive up your bill but doesn't back down on fighting for what is right. He is the most trustworthy and honest attorney I know. You will ALWAYS be in good hands with Mr Edwards.

I am the "single" mother of two special needs children, both with anxiety disorders, one with autism. After poor representation out of state, three years of a custody/visitation battle at the expense of my children's health and wellbeing (hospitalizations at Ridgeview), John offered to research my op...tions for changing jurisdiction to Georgia, free of charge. I spoke with him in his office for a free consultation, at which time he informed me of the measures that needed to be addressed by my current attorney in the other state. He offered to work hourly with no retainer fee to help my current attorney file the appropriate action to have the case moved to my children's home state to cut down on the stress for my special needs household. He was compassionate, factual, and fair. He did not try to promise me the moon, but told me what I could expect...the good and the bad. If you want someone that has knowledge, backbone, and devotion to the best interest of his clients choose John Edwards.
