Not so great!

I was given Ms. Edwards number by two different people, who didn’t not know each other, within a two week period when expressing to my friends and associates that I may have to file for bankruptcy. I contacted Mrs. Edwards and she schedule a meeting. Now I met with four separate attorneys in addition... to Ms. Edwards and all of them spoke with me in privately and in length except Mrs. Edwards. She stated that she could not chat for too long because there were other clients waiting. So, I said I guess you y’all after you get paid. In my honest opinion, it didn’t feel very inviting. Needless to say, I did proceed to give her a deposit of $1500 because I also found all of these wonderful online reviews about Mrs. Edwards on top of the personal referrals. After she received the deposit she was not always very responsive. In fact, the last time I reached out to her, she did not return my call.

I was out of the office for a few days due to a family emergency, but I did go on to successfully file your bankruptcy.

She's amazing.

Ms.Cho Edwards was amazing! We were struggling financially. We couldn't get help anywhere. We contacted Ms.Cho Edwards and instantly felt at ease. She was confident and knowledgeable. She answered our calls and texts immediately even when we called after hours and weekends. She really gave us our liv...es back. We're eternally grateful for everything she's done for us. If you need a great bankruptcy lawyer give her a call!

Best lawyer ever

I filed my BK in 2014 something came up where a creditor garnished my bank account. Teresa got on it immediately helping me by issuing them another notice of BK and even did it fir my husband who filed in 2012 with a different attorney. She’s the best in the area and once a client of hers always a cl...ient of hers..

THE BEST!!!

By far the best. She knows exactly what to do and extremely patient. I know the bankruptcy process so it was a breeze for me, and i know clients constantly call to either see if she filed or just any questions which she answers immediately unlike some who just take messages and gets back to you 7 day...s later. I would use her again if i ever have to.

Bankruptcy Lawyer who will do the work and give you PEACE of MIND

I was told by many people and two lawyers, I would lose my house and my pay check would continue to be garnished. Then, I made one of the best decisions of my life! I did a google search on bankruptcy lawyers in PG County, Maryland and quite a few names appeared. I took a moment for a silent prayer ...and then I selected bankruptcy lawyer Teresa Cho Edwards. Let me comment on a few things that I have recognized about Attorney Teresa Edwards... 1. courteous nature - huge plus 2. communicative - always accessible and would contact me, when necessary and making sure I had the right documents pertaining to my case. 3. pro-active position - Attorney Edwards made sure we were always prepared for court and understood how the bankruptcy courts operated that I felt comfortable and protected in court with her representing me. 4. court appearances - Attorney Edwards always arrived at the court before I did and would brief me on the hearing for that day. 5. professionalism - translates to she's an excellent bankruptcy lawyer and is a very respectable and responsible individual. ...and because of attorney Teresa Cho Edwards, she did stop the garnishments of my pay checks and I did keep my home.
