We are from Lake City, Florida. As parents, we sought the help of Mr. Edwards in my daughter's behalf. As a young lady, she had acquired multiple felonies with the prospect of 10-15 years in prison facing her. Mr. Edwards heard our case, took it on with confidence, and got her sentence reduced to 10 years probation, and restitution. That was 8 years ago, and my daughter is married, has a son, and is doing great. She hasn't even had a traffic violation. Because Mr. Edwards believed in us and took a chance, we will be forever be in his debt. He is a great lawyer, with a very big heart.

I had the pleasure of having Mr. Edwards represent me in 2006. While I was charged with a crime, Mr Edwards insisted sternly that he was very confident he could successfully defend the charges against me. This man exudes confidence. It is my opinion that he is clearly one of the best lawyers in the city of Gainesville. You can't go wrong with Mr. Edwards!!!

I first hired Thomas Edwards to defend me and my daughter in the early 1990s. He put his heart into that case.Of all the attorneys in the state of Florida he would be the one I would call, if need for an attorney ever arose again.

Thomas Edwards is the go to guy. My neice was charged with vehicular manslaughter when the car she was driving rear end,another and the impact caused the air bag to deploy causing her to loose visiability and control of her car. She hit and killed a young man on a scooter. she was arrested and charged with reckless driving and vehichular manslaughter. We spoke with several attorneys, until we spoke with Thomas Edwards, But after speaking with him we knew my neice was in good hands. Mr. Edwards went to work on her case immediately in a relentless manner, working very hard and tireless to get my neice aquitted. At the Court hearing I got a chance to see him in action, he was brilliant and sometimes intimidating but always on point. at the end my neice was aquitted and got her life back. I can truly say that if you need an attorney that will fight hard for you, Thomas Edwards in your guy.

Took $5,000 from me and did absolutely NOTHING for my case, complete WASTE of time and money and a HUGE disappointment. Completely misguided, extremely unprofessional and disrespectful.
