Michael Edwards

I had a case with Michael Edwards. 10,000 dollars later and I was actually in a worst-case scenario then I was before I got him. He only knows how to take money. I am sorry but this guy useless. Promises a lot but does not come through. If you really want someone to help you please do not use this la...wyer.

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
