It's been 4 years since my Divorce. Elizabeth was amazing. She allowed us to come to terms which were best for both of us. I vetted 11 other female attorneys and had consultations with 4 of them. Elizabeth was the only one without her own agenda. Thankfully she understood the emotional side as well as the legal.

I filed for divorce using another Fort Lauderdale attorney in July 2020 and by October I terminated that client/attorney relationship and hired Elizabeth to take over my case. From our first conversation, working with Elizabeth was a MUCH needed breath of fresh air. Where my original attorney offered zero clear strategy other than buying time and inspired only doubt and anxiety, Elizabeth stepped in and was a calming, reassuring, and knowledgable presence. I understand while an attorney cannot always make guarantees or predict the future, they should in the very least inspire confidence, which Elizabeth did for me every single step of the way. The overwhelming theme in my review of & recommendation to use Elizabeth as representation, has to be her exceptional customer service. I believe this is easily taken for granted while working with an attorney. While we all assume our attorney will understand divorce law, how they treat us and our case is what makes the real difference in the experience we will have. Elizabeth actually listened to me, communicated all facets of my case and potential scenarios, was available whenever I needed her, answered emails nearly immediately, never left me hanging or ghosted me, and above all and most importantly, she always did what she said she would do. When Elizabeth took over my case I explained to her that I did not want to wind up in litigation and that opposing counsel lacked any sense of urgency to settle outside of court while there was still money to be made (at my expense). Elizabeth told me she would get my case settled outside of court and it would be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time. I hired her in October 2020 and by March 2021 both parties signed our Martial Separation Agreement. From the beginning, Elizabeth controlled both the narrative and the "pace of the fight". Elizabeth created the context in which our settlement became possible while literally doing all the heavy lifting by providing opposing counsel with all versions of our marital separation agreement and parenting plan. No doubt in my mind had I not hired Elizabeth my case would still be in limbo, with zero end in sight. Elizabeth is the reason you must hire an attorney who specializes in family & divorce law. Elizabeth is a consummate professional, fiercely intelligent, and a real pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone going through a divorce. Elizabeth went above and beyond for me, far exceeding all of my expectations when I hired her and I am sure I was treated no differently than any of her other clients.

Elizabeth was very available and professional during my divorce in 2021. She was very knowledgeable and understanding throughout the process. What I loved about her the most was how she explained the process to me and delivered exactly what she stated she would do. I trusted her to handle the situation because she made me feel like could. She was definitely the best choice and I’m very happy with the outcome and her service.

I would highly recommend Elizabeth if you are ever in the need of a divorce lawyer. It is a very difficult thing to go through and she was there every step of the way. She was extremely attentive and supportive. She was able to settle my case in mediation and I am pleased with the outcome. She is very knowledgeable and caring.

I hired Ms. Edwards to handle my divorce from my husband in 2020. The divorce was not an easy choice to come to however , Ms. Edwards made the process run smoothly . She was able to professionally and politely communicate between my ex-husband and I which I appreciated very much . She always was available for my calls / emails which usually entailed me asking multiple questions that she was extremely patient and through in answering. In being a woman , it was comforting to have another woman to trust walk me thru the divorce process. During covid times, we did the final hearing thru zoom and the Judge commented on how well Ms. Edwards had done handling my case. It was reassuring that she is respected by her peers in her field. I highly recommend consulting with Ms.Edwards to see if she would suit your needs.

Attorney Elizabeth Edwards was God sent to me! I appreciate everything she and her team did for me. She fought and stood up for me. Her explanations throughout the process were thorough and comprehensive. She is very patient, kind, and pleasant to work with. Thanks to Mrs. Edwards I can smile again.

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend, rather than a client. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained, which helped me to feel informed and confident through difficult times. Elizabeth and Barry fought hard for me. They went above and beyond in dealing with a very abusive and unethical opposing law office, and did everything they could to protect and ensure a great outcome for me.

I hired Elizabeth Edwards to prepare my prenup and it went perfectly. She conducted everything in a professional, courteous and timely manner. The bride's attorney lives overseas and that was not an issue. I felt very well represented. She was very clear and fair in all suggestions and considerations.
