I had the privilege of getting to work with Brian Edwards recently and I just want to express how grateful I am for all the hard work and time he put into our case in order to have the end result be CASE DROPPED!! 😁
Brian worked diligently and beyond to help us with our case, I cannot stress how helpful he has been! Mostly, he has helped me keep a peace of mind with everything, Brian was very understanding of the circumstances and put me at ease knowing that he would have our best interest in heart. Brian is the only one I would want in my corner if I ever need help again.

I would say he is the best attorney with communication if he is not available he does get back to you in a timely manner. He does truly have a caring heart for his clients . He definitely does his best to fight for you . And if he can not do something he will tell and inform you of your possible outcomes . He is definitely a good attorney I would refer him to others .

I had the good “bad” fortune to require the services of Attny Edwards — and found him to be more than just an attny to me, but a person who cared for my positive personal growth (just as much as the specific issue that I was faced with).
More than just an attny, I attribute his influence to helping me attain a better self.
9 years later — as I run a successful business, having become what I believe to be a strong figure in my local community.. I appreciate what he had done and how he had done it more than I can say.
I should pray that it never happen, but I would hire this man for my
