About

I have been practicing law in the Tri-county and Metro Detroit area for over 12 years. Prior to entering private practice, I have experience on all sides of the table having clerked in Circuit Court in Genesee County, represented hundreds of men and women, and worked as a Referee in Oakland County. Currently I am specializing in Family Law, primarily in the areas of Child Custody, Divorce, and Child Welfare Law.  Our firm also handles Criminal Law, Labor and Employment, and Personal Injury cases. I am  a knowledgeable, compassionate, and experienced attorney, who takes the time to understand the specific needs of your case.  If you take the time to schedule a consultation today, you won't leave with any unanswered questions.

She flawlessly handled my custody case at an affordable price. I live in colorado but the case was in michigan. She handled everything for me and made sure we avoided any unnecessary problems. I would give her a six star rating if I could.

Jade has tremendous knowledge of the child support laws in Michigan. We hired her to handle my husband's child support appeal on a recommendation and she went above and beyond to handle our case, even while it dragged on for over 2 years. It was a very stressful time for us and we appreciate everything Jade did for us. She was very straightforward with us regarding our case. We would highly recommend Jade to anyone needing assistance with their child custody/support situation.

I consulted with Jade over the phone and she provided me with a number of very helpful suggestions and even offered alternative resolutions to remedy my legal concerns. I looked forward to working with Jade. I was very impressed with her knowledge and understanding as it relates to my legal problem.

At first I was wary because she charged a $50 consultation fee and I thought people did free consultations. So I went to an attorney that was free and he acted like he couldnt be bothered because I wasn't payng and I swear after 20 minutes he rushed me out the door. Then I called some other people who charged a little more or the same. So I scheduled with her. she was super nice and patient. we met for a little over an hour, which really wasnt bad for $50. she said she didn't want me to leave without having all my questions answered and gave me her cell number in case I had more questions that I forgot (which I did). and she said even if I didn't hire her I could still call with questions and let her know how court went. I just have a long custody case. not sure if I will be able to save up to hire her but I hope I can because she is more helpful than others ive talked to.

I had a horrible attourney before Jade that I never got to see, charged me if I ever did need to speak with him over the phone or in person, and as a result I only was able to speak with his secretary each time I had a question. He also tried to sway me to just settle for my ex to pretty much get everything. I was desperate to find someone else when I found Jade and now I finally feel like everything will be okay and I can contact her anytime I have any questions which is awesome! She is very knowledgeable and helpful and I would recommend her to anyone in need.

I didn't actually see her in court, I just wanted her to review my paperwork because I couldn't really afford to hire anyone. She did a free consultation for me and then made some helpful suggestions for changes to make. she didn't want to charge me for that either but I insisted on giving her something. She seemed very knowledgeable about custody cases and in addition to changing the paperwork offered suggestions on things to do dealing with my ex in general. I recommend her for custody cases.

She was very good dealing with me during my divorce. She put up with a lot of crying and texting and emailing because I think I was a bit neurotic but she always explained the different steps in the process. It seemed like it took forever, but worked out in the end. I started out with a different attorney who never returned calls and was kind of rude so Jade was a pleasant change. Would definitely recommend her.

Ms. Edwards handled my divorce in 2017. Once I paid her, it took me nearly three weeks to get her to respond to my inquiries. I phoned, emailed, and texted. Her unresponsiveness continued throughout the process. I signed an agreement. In it stated I would get monthly statements. I never received one. After my divorce was final (October), I called constantly to get a final invoice. I finally had to pick it up in January. The bill stated I have paid her $200 less than I actually had. She offered to send me a corrected bill - which I have never received. Nor did I receive further reimbursement for the $200 that she understated.

I would call Jade to ask her questions about my case and she wouldn’t respond. My ex’s attorney wrote our settlement agreement and I signed it with her, instead of Jade, because Jade wouldn’t call back. My ex’s attorney also drafted up our judgement of divorce. It’s a good thing I have a decent relationship with my ex, otherwise I don’t think our case would have ended well for me. I will say, Jade Was empathetic to my situation when I did meet with her but overall she didn’t meet my expectations.
