After consulting with 3 different lawyers, I chose Tim Edwards because of 2 things - honesty and integrity. He didn't fill me with false hopes and promises, instead he explained the facts and how the courts would interprete them such that I could even understand the trouble I was in. He also said he wasn't cheap and required a retaining fee to even start. That forced me to think long and hard about what I was getting into. After 21 years of marrage, 3 kids and a wife that hasn't worked since we were married - I had a lot a stake! I chose Tim because of his honesty, but it was his knowledge, experience and integrity that earned my respect. Tim and his entire staff were excellent to work with throughout the whole process. They were all very professional and respectful, yet really took the time to know me and my situation. Their knowledge and experience of the court process and personnel were instrumental in negoitating a fair settlement. While my case had few unexpected turns, they were albe to work within their estimated fee. Nobody wants to go to court, at least I didn't. However, if ya find yourself in situation where you need a GOOD lawyer, I would recommend Tim Edwars and Associates - because you may not get a second chance.

I contacted Tim Edwards on the recommendation of an acquaintance. My first consultation with Tim was over 15 years ago. He didn't rush me to divorce court; he had the wisdom to advise me to wait, based on what I shared. When the time was right, I went back to him. He and his staff then handled my ugly divorce and drama-filled custody case with wisdom and expertise--and the best interest of the children at the core. Even though we won custody, ex-spouses don't always follow parenting plans. Within the last year, I called on Tim for advice. He proceeded to win a Contempt of Court case against my ex. Dealing with attorneys, courts, and ex's can bring emotional challenges. Tim is not only a brilliant attorney, but he and his staff are wonderful counselors as well. They know how to help a client through difficult times with empathy, compassion, understanding, and good advice. I've recommended Tim to friends and acquaintances on more than several occasions. I'd recommend him to anyone--except the other side.

Not only would I recommend this lawyer, but I have. Yes, he is expensive, but after 21yrs of marriage, 2 kids, and an ex that makes $100k MORE THAN ME, I WANT someone that knows what he is doing! You get what you pay for people....I don't go to a vending machine for coffee for $.25 because I can get good coffee at a Starbucks.....same thing. They call me right back, they answer ALL of my questions...the good and the crazy...and they put me at ease. Mr. Edwards went to court WITH ME when I had to face my ex and the judge, and we only got $400 LESS than what we were asking, AND he fought for my kids. Say what you want, PAY for what you want...but if you want effective and you want ON YOUR SIDE.....I would recommend Mr. Edwards.

For $3550 my first lawyer said I would lose the house and pay $2500 a month in child support,That was unaceptable. Tim took my case,,,after 2 years of court battles with the ex, I wound up getting the house,the custody and $285 a month child support . Tim Edwards saved me more than a million dollars Tim Edwards saved me more than 16 years of anguish and suffering,,,,,that is priceless. Quality is worth the money you spend. Tim Edwards did what no other lawyer could have done. I feel like I still owe him. Every time I get a support check,I think if it wasn't for Tim,things would be way worse for me. I hope I never need a lawyer again,if I do,no doubt it would be him. If you need a lawyer,it will cost you no matter what,,,so get a winner.

I interviewed 3 different attorneys before I chose Tim to handle my divorce. It was a complex financial case. Tim took the time to first listen to me. We developed a strategy together. Tim went with me to the best financial accountant he knew and who represented diovorce cases for 35 years. Tim also put me into contact with other experts that helped in my case.Tim and his team handled all aspects of my case with extreme professionalism and in a timely manner. The final outcome of my case exceeded my expectations and I have recomended Tim to several of my friends who had a similar experience with their cases.

We used Tim's services one year ago to get a fair child support settlement for my husband's oldest child. Tim was knowledgeable and firm in his representation of what to expect from our requests. He did get us a fair settlement even with some underhanded attempts from the opposing attorney. Due to the outcome of that settlement we again used his services when faced with support and visitation issues with my husband's two youngest children. He was confident that we would gain and deserved the added visitation time we desired. He is very well versed on Washington State laws and is up front with the expectations we could expect from his services. We NEVER questioned that we were being represented by one of the best attorney's in the state! Tim gave us every confidence that he was getting us the best visitation and support that we could expect in this state. He and his staff used the utmost decorum faced with some unsavory acts throw at him and his office by the opposing counsel during the course of our settlement. We appreciate all of his assistance in both cases and we are confident that he did get us the best we could get under the circumstances. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing a top notch, knowledgeable, no nonsense, attorney.

Tim Edwards and associates handled my case in a professional manner , keeping in touch with me throughout the case , In a difficult time it was nice to have a staff that cared about the whole situation . Tim and his staff are very knowledgeable and know how to help .

It's unfortunate to read the bad reviews people have left on here about this firm. I had a totally different experience with Tim Edwards and Associates. My final bill WAS expensive, but divorce is not usually cheap and you get what you pay for. My divorce and custody battle was stressful and ugly, as most are, but through it all i always felt that EVERYONE at the firm cared about ME, and showed so much compassion for what my ex and his attorney put me thru. The firm did what they could to keep my costs as low as possible, even giving me the option to do as much of the work as i could on my own. The paralegals and legal assistants also did as much of the work as they could, keeping my costs down. I was always kept in the know as to the status of my case, and communication was always prompt! I called the office several times in hysterics and someone was always willing to "talk me down" from the ledge. Phone calls and emails were always returned to me quickly, and i genuinely enjoyed talking with Tim during our 4 hour mediation. During my initial consultation, it was believed that my case would be fairly simple, and it should have been, but the truth is you can't reason with unreasonable people, and my ex and his counsel were very unreasonable. It didn't take long for my ex's attorney to dry up my initial retainer, and i was NEVER pressured by anyone at the firm about the money. (I have since paid my balance) I aways felt that they were after my best interest. My divorce drug out for a little over a year, and has been final for two years this month. I have since remarried and moved out of state with my husband who serves in the military. We recently found out that we will be transferred out of the country, and i have again hired Tim's office to handle the proper filings for the move. Again, i was not pressured for money. I know hiring an attorney is scary, and you don't know who you can trust. There is a lot of money at stake and reviews can be deceiving. As i mentioned before, if you are going into a divorce, know it WILL cost you (unless you are lucky enough to agree on EVERYTHING with your ex), and you NEVER know how a judge will rule. I was drug thru the mud, but it was at no fault of Tim Edwards or his staff, they were nothing but wonderful to me then, and even now i consider them valued friends! You will NOT be sorry if you hire Tim Edwards and Associates, they are all amazing people and i feel so blessed to have them on my side.

Paid 10k up front, said I had adequate cause and to pusue a case against my ex-spouse. You will be ignored, no emails answered once they use up your cash and then some. Keep you thinking you have a chance and to continue, when they are wrong and you in fact do not have adequate cause. They will not inform you when you lose your case because they allow the opposing party to submit statements well after the timeline of 12 pm. Thus you will lose, as they don't care as they worked you for 17 or 18k, and then it's well I told you the courts are not fair. So there you have it, go with these lawyer and you will pay the ultimate price, lose it all and then some.

My experience with Tim Edwards and his entire firm has been exceptional in every way. Tim is very knowledgeable, up front, honest, responsive, and a master of strategy. His knowledge of the court system, the law, and ability to read a situation are amazing. I knew after the first 10 minutes of my initial consultation I would be retaining him to represent me. He lived up to and exceeded my expectations. I was kept very well informed of everything happening during the multiple revisions, and modifications that I needed to go through. I was always presented with all the options available to me and was given critical knowledge to help me make the best decisions possible for myself and my daughter. Working with Tim and the entire staff at Tim Edwards and Associates was a pleasure during very stressful and uncertain times. They do all of the little things that let you know you are important and not just another case. Everyone there is willing to take the extra effort to make sure things are taken care of in a timely manner. I always heard back from someone the same day or the next morning after leaving a message. I even walked in off the street one afternoon, saw Tim behind the receptionist's desk. After I told him my problem he came in early the next morning for my appointment. I would HIGHLY recommend Tim Edwards to anyone in need of a family law attorney. I have, and will continue to refer people to his firm. You will not do any better.

I really wished I had the funds to retain this lawyer because I knew he would be the flame under my feet to help me.
