Custody battles are never easy. There was a wide arrange of emotions felt when trying to ensure that I was in my son's life. My case was successful in getting 50/50 physical custody, legitimization, name change, joint legal decision making. We were successful after months of court delays and dealing with difficult/unreasonable opposing partyTessie was cool, calm, and collected the entire time. Her confidence transferred to me and she had my complete trust. I couldn't recommend more. Money well spent.

Thank you, sincerely to Mrs. Edwards and your entire team for your unwavering hand, and constant attention during such a trying time. I appreciate you and your team immediate responses, and attention to detail. Thank you for also educating me throughout this process on each and every step of my case and offering me the best possible solutions. I would recommend Mrs. Edwards and her team to each and everyone I know, including myself if I ever had a question of any possible legal representation. Ms. Kendra was beyond helpful in communicating everything that I should expect throughout my court case proceedings. Both Ms. Tasia and Mr. Rivers initiated contact daily making sure all documents were uploaded to my client portal and I was aware of any and all changes pertaining to my case. Lastly, I would also like to thank the rest of Mrs. Edwards team including Mr. Lee, one of her client specialists who was beyond amazing, and extremely compassionate to me. From the moment I stepped foot within her office I was assured that my case was of the biggest priority and would be handled in the best care and it most definitely was. Forever grateful!! Thank you for everything.
