Not recommended

Rebecca is certainly very personable and I liked her initially. Through the process though it became clear that she did not properly prepare to the point that I didn't trust her to represent me. There was also more than one occasion where I was offended by her comments. I have now moved on to a di...fferent lawyer who is very professional, keeps me informed and represents me well. It truly makes a difference which lawyer you hire.

Dear anonymous, I am concerned that you may have made this October 2018 post in error, since I wasn't and haven't been available to be retained as an attorney since the Spring of 2018. I have never, ever had any client complain that I was unprepared - if anything, I tend to over prepare. I also have no recollection of any complaints that I have made offensive comments, and I would certainly hope to be afforded an opportunity to address any such complaint if one existed. -Rebecca Edwards

Rebecca Edwards is Fantastic!

I was recommended to Rebecca through a mutual friend at my church. My husband an I chose to separate and there were children involved. She made the process extremely easy. I was overwhelmed emotionally and her guidance was exceptional. She makes you feel like you are talking to a close friend and sh...e cares, she truly cares! She is brilliant and she's amazing at what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a separation or divorce with or without children involved.

Phenomenal Custody Attorney!

Having a child is the most precious gift one can be given! As a parent, it's our job to protect our little one(s). I found myself in the worst possible situation when my daughter's father assaulted me in front of her. I was fearful I would not be able to protect my 2 year old. Days after this a...ssault, I found Wake Family Law Firm on line -- and was immediately recommended to Rebecca Edwards. She met with me two hours after I called the firm. That in and of itself let me know not only is she good at her job, but she CARES!!! The short of the long is Ms. Edwards is by far the most compassionate, studious, honest and hard working professional I have ever come in contact with. She secured a one year DVPO for my daughter and I, she made sure all visits were supervised, and she even went above and beyond suggesting that visits between my 2 year old daughter and her father were in the community/in a fun location that was secure . Although Ms. Edwards is not "cheap," she sure is worth it. If you are fighting for custody of your child/ren or just trying to keep them safe -- Rebecca Edwards is the women for the job! Personable, honest, caring and understanding is what you need in a hard situation like child custody, I know I did. I cannot recommend Rebecca Edwards enough! She IS the BEST of the BEST!!!

  • 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.
