Where to even start... ive been taken advantage by other lawyers who took my profession as a pay day, past two lawyers did nothing but take money. 1yr of family court and they didnt file any paperwork they were hired for, i contactes Mr.edwards firm explained my situation best way i can.. Mr.Edwards understood my position, said and i qoute "we're getting your son back" this statement was made exactly 48days ago..since then Mr.edwards has eliminated Supervised visits leaned against me. Where i was subject to see my son 2hrs on Thursday and 2hrs on friday. Total travel time was 7hr to 8hrs. For those 2 days. I did that for almost a yr. Mr.edwards understood the importance of my case and how much my son means to me.. how my son has been in foster house for almost a yr.. as i qouted Mr.edwards... he eliminated the supervised visits in his 1st court date, i get to spend the entire weekend and every weekend with my son, i even have the rights to drop my son to school... im so thankful for Mr.edwards expertise, Legit the Best Lawyer.. My case isnt over yet. But i know Full victory is in sight by may/june i will have full custody. All the praying landed us to Mr.edwards. Im legit happy. My son counts the days. Hrs when we can see each other.. soon that will be exact what what my son and i want. I wasted $17,500 with other lawyers and almost a yr with no results.. Mr.edwards did so much in 48days. Best decision for the fight. If this was a boardgame Mr.edwards would be the strongest character on the board.

Mr Edwards cares about his clients and prides himself in efficiency and getting results . I would highly recommend . He is seriously the best ! No lawyer stands a chance against Mr Edwards ! He also makes his clients feel comfortable . He has incredible communication and a great team . I’d give him 100 stars if I could . Worth every penny !

Jonathan Edwards was truly dedicated to my mom's matrimonial and other family matter cases. He is honest, professional, thorough, caring, personable, knowledgeable and has a great recall for details. He kept us informed along the way and always got back to us quickly. We will always be grateful for his help!

He has a lot of experience and knows what he is doing, after the whole mess my settlement was good. But I would only recommend him if you WANT a fight. He is very combative which can be a good thing in certain situations, but I regret having retained him. Some examples: When asked how much this would cost his answer was “the retainer is XXX” the divorce ended up costing me 3 times that. He did not explain that possibility, he just kept saying how easy and quick it was going to be. Instead of writing my ex a letter offering to do a collaborative divorce he went with the serving papers route, which made her angrier and things got nastier, bad advice to follow. He kept telling me how easy the divorce was going to be (no children, similar salaries) and when I asked how long it would take he said 3 months, he had to know that was not possible. It was about 4 months to just get to the preliminary hearing… then covid hit so after that is not his fault, but even before Covid it was almost impossible to get a divorce done in less than a year in NY. He blatantly lied to me about timing. This was probably the worst part. Early in the divorce I got a job offer in another state, I asked for advice about taking it, he said “sure go ahead, you have no kids”. This gave my now ex wife a weapon to play games and delay as much as she could, because she knew I had to pay both mortgage and rent in the new place. Aren’t lawyers for giving good advice???? He kept telling me after every meeting with the judge’s clerk how it was “done” but there was always another meeting and more negotiations (and more billing). This is not all his fault, my ex wife was butthurt and wanted to extend this over forever to hurt me financially. But I am sure he did not mind the extra hours billed, if he is so knowledgeable why didn’t he warn me this could happen from the beginning? Why keep telling me that “it’s done”? After all, all she got out of me was 1% of the house (we split it 51/49) so the outcome ended up being positive, again he knows what he is doing and he knows how to fight for you, so if this is your thing by all means go with him. But if you can mediate or have a more reasonable/collaborative divorce don’t follow his advice.

I was involved in an extremely highly contested custody case. After speaking with several different attorneys, I realized that Mr Edwards was different. For starters, he honestly informed me of the cost, time, and potential outcome. I’m not sure if he has a photographic memory, but he remembered better than me certain details of my life. This within itself was priceless. Several different attorneys I met with would ask a question... than moments later ask it again. To me, for the absolute most important event of my life, I needed someone who not only cared, but cared passionately. During court appearances, he would be told by other attorneys to “take it easy, it’s not personal”... but it was personal for me!!! The man fought tooth and nail for me. In the end, After a 40 day trial...thank gd i won full custody of my boy...against all odds. A man in nys nonetheless.

I retained Jonathan Edwards 10 years ago to handle a very bitter divorce and since then I have retained him two additional times, one being for a real-estate matter and currently to handle a very delicate custody matter. Simply put Jonathan is an amazing attorney who cares about his clients best interests and in my experience not about profiting off of his clients as he has spent countless hrs. with guiding me on his own time never asking for anything other than a thank you. I truly am indebted to him for what he has done for me and my family over the years. Jonathan is also a great litigator who is well prepared in court to advocate on your behalf who knows how to navigate the very tough NYS court system. I highly recommend Jonathan Edward’s and I have recommended him numerous friends and business acquaintances. He would definitely be a smart hire for anyone in need of a great attorney.

Jonathan Edwards understand the importance of providing an excellent quality of service. He is currently assisting me through a very difficult custody/divorce proceeding and I am grateful for his years of experience and effective legal representation. Mr. Edwards is trustworthy, caring, honest, competent, responsive and a powerful presence to have on your side. You won't find a more capable, ethical, and hard-working lawyer out there.

Mr. Edwards is widely known and respected by both Judges and peers. He is relentless in protecting his client's rights while never wavering from being a true professional. During the entire process of my divorce, Mr. Edwards made himself available for any and all questions, whether by phone or email. Once my divorce was final, I had a few follow-up questions, and again, not only via emails but also with follow-up phone calls, he continued to reach out to make sure I was completely satisfied and knowledgeable about the answers I needed. I truly recommend Mr. Jonathan Edwards to everyone and anyone seeking the most professional and knowledgeable representation for their divorce.

Jonathan Edwards represented me during my divorce. He was extremely knowledgeable and hands on in all areas of my divorce concerning custody, child support, visitation, and equitable distribution. Although my ex-husband was extremely unreasonable, Jonathan continued to fight for my best interests in both Supreme Court and Family Court. He knew how to handle my case from start to finish. During a very emotional time in my life, I was confident that I was in good hands and was very well represented. The outcome of my case was fair and successful thanks to Jonathan's knowledge of the law, years of experience, negotiation skills, and dedication. Jonathan was easy to reach and always responded to my calls, texts and emails promptly. I also recommended Jonathan to a family friend who was very pleased with the outcome of his divorce settlement as well. I highly recommend Jonathan Edwards and the Law Firm of Edwards & Rockmore to anyone who finds themselves in a divorce or custody and visitation situation.

Retaining Jonathan Edwards as my divorce attorney was one of the smartest decisions I have made. His care and concern for his clients was evident from the first moment I sat down in his office. He and his amazing staff, navigated me through one of the worst times of my life. His no nonsense approach, coupled with his, in-depth knowledge of divorce law, are second to none. He and his staff were on point, during the entire process of my divorce. They were always one step ahead of the other side. Subsequently, he got me a very favourable divorce settlement. No one wants to have to go through a divorce, but if you have to go through one, I wouldn't want to be represented by anyone else. I definitely would not want to be sitting on the other side of the table. ! I highly recommend Jonathan Edwards as a divorce attorney.

I met Mr. Edwards after 10 years of being divorced. I needed representation because I was having some issues with ex husband. Mr Edwards sat and listened to what the issues were. He made me feel comfortable. He gave me the right legal advice and support to get me thru the issue. He was very responsive whenever I needed to ask him something and always stirred me in the right direction. I highly recommend Mr. Edwards to represent you for your divorce.
