Jonathan Edwards was truly dedicated to my mom's matrimonial and other family matter cases. He is honest, professional, thorough, caring, personable, knowledgeable and has a great recall for details. He kept us informed along the way and always got back to us quickly. We will always be grateful for his help!

I was involved in an extremely highly contested custody case. After speaking with several different attorneys, I realized that Mr Edwards was different. For starters, he honestly informed me of the cost, time, and potential outcome. I’m not sure if he has a photographic memory, but he remembered better than me certain details of my life. This within itself was priceless. Several different attorneys I met with would ask a question... than moments later ask it again. To me, for the absolute most important event of my life, I needed someone who not only cared, but cared passionately. During court appearances, he would be told by other attorneys to “take it easy, it’s not personal”... but it was personal for me!!! The man fought tooth and nail for me. In the end, After a 40 day trial...thank gd i won full custody of my boy...against all odds. A man in nys nonetheless.

I retained Jonathan Edwards 10 years ago to handle a very bitter divorce and since then I have retained him two additional times, one being for a real-estate matter and currently to handle a very delicate custody matter. Simply put Jonathan is an amazing attorney who cares about his clients best interests and in my experience not about profiting off of his clients as he has spent countless hrs. with guiding me on his own time never asking for anything other than a thank you. I truly am indebted to him for what he has done for me and my family over the years. Jonathan is also a great litigator who is well prepared in court to advocate on your behalf who knows how to navigate the very tough NYS court system. I highly recommend Jonathan Edward’s and I have recommended him numerous friends and business acquaintances. He would definitely be a smart hire for anyone in need of a great attorney.

Jonathan Edwards understand the importance of providing an excellent quality of service. He is currently assisting me through a very difficult custody/divorce proceeding and I am grateful for his years of experience and effective legal representation. Mr. Edwards is trustworthy, caring, honest, competent, responsive and a powerful presence to have on your side. You won't find a more capable, ethical, and hard-working lawyer out there.

I HIGHLY recommend Jonathan Edwards and the law firm of Edwards & Rockmore. Jonathan Edwards was HIGHLY recommended to me by a friend, and he has met and exceeded my every expectation. Mr. Edwards is widely known and respected by both Judges and peers. He is relentless in protecting his client's rights while never wavering from being a true professional. During the entire process of my divorce, Mr. Edwards made himself available for any and all questions, whether by phone or email. Once my divorce was final, I had a few follow-up questions, and again, not only via emails but also with follow-up phone calls, he continued to reach out to make sure I was completely satisfied and knowledgeable about the answers I needed. I truly recommend Mr. Jonathan Edwards to everyone and anyone seeking the most professional and knowledgeable representation for their divorce.

Jonathan Edwards represented me during my divorce. He was extremely knowledgeable and hands on in all areas of my divorce concerning custody, child support, visitation, and equitable distribution. Although my ex-husband was extremely unreasonable, Jonathan continued to fight for my best interests in both Supreme Court and Family Court. He knew how to handle my case from start to finish. During a very emotional time in my life, I was confident that I was in good hands and was very well represented. The outcome of my case was fair and successful thanks to Jonathan's knowledge of the law, years of experience, negotiation skills, and dedication. Jonathan was easy to reach and always responded to my calls, texts and emails promptly. I also recommended Jonathan to a family friend who was very pleased with the outcome of his divorce settlement as well. I highly recommend Jonathan Edwards and the Law Firm of Edwards & Rockmore to anyone who finds themselves in a divorce or custody and visitation situation.

Retaining Jonathan Edwards as my divorce attorney was one of the smartest decisions I have made. His care and concern for his clients was evident from the first moment I sat down in his office. He and his amazing staff, navigated me through one of the worst times of my life. His no nonsense approach, coupled with his, in-depth knowledge of divorce law, are second to none. He and his staff were on point, during the entire process of my divorce. They were always one step ahead of the other side. Subsequently, he got me a very favourable divorce settlement. No one wants to have to go through a divorce, but if you have to go through one, I wouldn't want to be represented by anyone else. I definitely would not want to be sitting on the other side of the table. ! I highly recommend Jonathan Edwards as a divorce attorney.
