Finding a lawyer is like finding a doctor- you want to balance finding someone who is an expert in their field with someone who doesn't use that expertise as an excuse to talk down to you. I can't recommend Zach highly enough for having found that perfect balance. I hired Zach to help me recoup payment I was owed as a contractor. I know all legal battles have the potential to be emotionally draining and logistically complicated, but prior to hiring Zach I had spoken with no less than 6 other attorneys who all warned me that given the context, my case would be especially exhausting and complex both from a legal "gray area" and an emotional standpoint. Thankfully, Zach not only listened patiently and empathetically to all of my frustrations with the situation but he pored over resources to make sure he found the appropriate causes of action that would allow me to move forward with my case. He was the first to say in essence say: yes, this is complicated, but also you're getting screwed over and there has to be a better way to approach this. He's always very responsive and clearly communicative of what's next and my options at every step. I also appreciate that he has been very proactive about wanting to settle my case before trial in order to help keep legal fees and emotional turmoil at a minimum, while at the same time being very reassuring that if my case DOES go to trial, that he's confident in his abilities and my case.

My husband and I are most grateful for the legal services Mr. Edwards provided for us. Our recent Child Custody case was contentious and complex from the beginning, and it was exacerbated by numerous false and inflammatory accusations from my former spouse and his lawyers. Mr. Edwards went to work immediately and learned all the aspects of our case and carefully reviewed all the details of our various court exhibits. He used the evidence we had collected to construct a coherent and powerful argument for why we should maintain custody of our son, and the Judge agreed with Mr. Edwards' defense. My husband and I are adamant that Mr. Edwards' previous experience in Criminal Law was also an invaluable asset that helped us win the case. Whereas the other attorney and amicus read their closing statements verbatim from notepads, Mr. Edwards spoke straight from memory and gave a compelling summary to the court. It was a very tense and uncertain situation for us, however Mr. Edwards maintained a calm and professional manner that eased our concerns. Although we know this custody battle will continue to be problematic until our son turns 18 years old, we are highly confident with Mr. Edwards as our attorney. He won an incredibly challenging Permanent Custody trial for us, and we appreciate his outstanding work both in and out of the courtroom.
