Very unorganized, unprofessional, had no good personal. Payed the woman her fee upfront. Did not mention we had court until the next day. Did not coach me. Did not remember my name when we went to court.
Did not want to counter sue. One of the worse defense family defense attorney. She does better on criminal defense.

Tina, either the receptionist or assistant, called me almost immediately the following morning. She took my info down and passed it along to the husband which is vaavias assistant. However didn't put down great because I didn't get a call from the husband the next day :( which could be a mistake on my phones part. But they are very good.

If you are thinking about how our family would rate Vaavia Edwards, you may wish to read this. First of all, if it was not for my REAL DAD hiring Vaavia Edwards several years ago, my little sister and I would still be facing the most unbelievable and horrible abuse you could imagine. For years my former step dad gave my sister and I beatings every time he was at home, or got fired from a job, which was frequently. I was even beat with a wire coat hanger We were constantly, yelled at, had frequent beatings, made to do all of the dirty house and dirty bathroom cleaning and laundry in our house, ( back then were were 5 and 7 years old when it started ). My sister and I finally got to eat steak for the first time in SEVEN years, when I was finally re united with my REAL DAD in 2016. Before that, if we wanted any food after school, we had to find something ourselves, which was usually Macaroni and bread. The only meat I remember eating was having the cheapest Hot Dogs about every third day. If I ever made a few dollars for myself sometimes cleaning other peoples homes, and bought my sister and I snacks with them, my step dad would always eat them, and never give us anything. My Mom, now dead from a drug overdose, lied to my sister and I, about the child support that my REAL DAD paid for eight years. Now we found out that all of the child support money went directly to my alcoholic step dad for his own use and cowboy clothes. He, as well as my grandparents, could care less if we lived or died when I was between the the ages of 7 to 14. My little sister started talking about why kids would ever commit suicide in such a terrible living condition. My little sister and I, NOW RE UNITED WITH MY REAL DAD, cannot believe that this is what life is really like and our day could be so good. The nightmares that my little sister and I had si much, are finally gone also. IF IT WERE NOT FOR MY REAL DAD AND VAAVIA EDWARDS, I AM POSITIVE THAT MY LITTLE SISTER AND I WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TODAY. Want more information? Then ask Vaavia to tell you all about our previous horrible situation, and now we are in such a great place with my real Dad!

She did everything she could to win my case. I felt comfortable talking to her about anything and she was always sympathetic. She knows what she is doing like the back of her hand. We won both cases i worked with her on.

Best attorney ever, was able to get custody of both my daughters. Being a guy i knew it would be hard,because Texas favors mothers, but i was able to do it with no trouble at all with her help. She actually shows interest in her clients, and puts in a lot of effort.

I am so impressed with the legal performance of Ms. Vaavia Edwards that is it difficult to accurately describe the extent of her assistance to our family. Our family is unanimous in the most exceptional and elite recommendations for this distinguished attorney. Some of our family were on the receiving end of despicable lies and perjury committed by a cult like family in a child custody case. Ms. Edwards legal endeavors, along with her staff, were successful in RAPID results for removing an injustice delivered to our family and the resurrection and custody of two wonderful children. Ms. Vaavia Edwards and her office employees went to exceptional lengths to deliver the ultimate in professional and personal service. Of the many attorneys we have observed, Ms. Vaavia Edwards is distinguished by an aggressive and tenacious attitude to represent her clients best interest. We offer our highest rating for this most deserving attorney and her people.

Ms. Vaavia Edwards professional service LITERALLY, SAVED MY BELOVED CHILDREN'S LIFE, and corrected an injustice that was delivered to my family.

God put this lady in my life when I was in a very very dark place.I was addicted to drugs I was afraid to leave my home on her own time she took me to get help she never gave up on me even though I was a roller coaster... I got in trouble left and right again she was alway there telling me if I would just give my life to God this life I was living would be gone. The last time I got in trouble she got me a year I was facing two because of her NEVER giving up on me and always whispering God in my ear I have 8 years clean and God in my life... Thank you Vaavia for helping to save my life and my soul You will ALWAYS be more then my attorney you are my friend

I have hired Mrs. Vaavia Edwards a total of 3 times for my child custody case. Two of the times my ex has won by the skin of her teeth. Mrs Edwards has always been ready to counter with every false statement my ex threw in our path, at times i would not have a responce but with Mrs. Edwards expertise my ex was shut down.
Even the Judge had a hard time determining the outcome. He advised my ex in front of me, that i had a very good case and she should not faulter because it would be the end of her. All in all i have recommended Mrs. Edwards before and would do it again in a heart beat definately 2 thumbs up.

We were blessed to work with Vaavia on our adoption. Our son had been in foster care most of his childhood, but was already an adult when we came to the decision to adopt him legally. This is not a common thing to do - and it took a lot of research, etc. to make sure everything was done properly. Vaavia and her staff were very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. When we learned that our son was going to be deployed to Afghanistan sooner than expected, we had to speed up the adoption process. Vaavia even got the court date scheduled on a day they didn't normally convene because it was the only day my son could get here for it! Such an amazing experience with such a fabulous outcome. I feel the need to comment on the review prior to mine though. The adoption decree, etc. is something
Vaavia's office was so professional. Our calls were always returned very promptly, etc. Shameless plug: If you want to read about our story go to:

I had contacted Ms. Edwards on a custody, divorce. I was well informed on what to expect. Any time you put your fate, and childrens fate in anothers hands it is scary. I was kept well informed so I could make decisions. She was always prompt and courteous with my calls and questions of which I had many. Hope to never see her again, but would use her in a heart beat if needed. She helped me get my life and family in order and custody of my children all in a very timely order.
