Attorney Edwards and his team were excellent in handling issues for me and my children in family court. His reputation in court was stellar. He has allowed me to fight for my children’s safety, improved mental health, and our families’ financial stability. I was amazed and I am forever grateful and thankful to this remarkable business. There is hope, and there are still good people in the world; Attorney Edwards is one of them!!!!

I have had Mr. Edwards as an attorney for 3.5 years now. He has covered my Divorce and Family Custody concerns. I can say over this time period, he and his staff have always displayed the utmost professionalism and integrity. They take extreme pride in their work and their clients satisfaction. One of the areas that I commend Mr. Edwards in, is his honesty. Not once has he ever misled me or gave me false hope. He 100% has always been honest and upfront on what outcome he thinks will occur. This expectation management and transparency is something you will be hard pressed to find in other attorneys. They are a dedicated staff and will work around your schedule when needed. I have lived in Colorado most of this time frame and still have felt like they took care of all my needs when requested. Mr. Edwards also displayed a genuine investment and interest into my case as he would ensure he did all he could to get me the most desired outcome in any situation. I would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone in need of a Divorce or Family law attorney in Fayetteville, NC or the surrounding area. There is a reason he is repeatedly given the award for best Divorce attorney in that county. Highly knowledgeable, dedicated, motivated, and genuine are some of the adjectives to describe Mr. Edwards. I'd like to thank him and his staff for the years of hard work and dedication to my family and I. And good luck to anyone else out there struggling with their own family law concerns. Do yourself a favor, and setup a consultation with Mr. Edwards.

I hired Mr. Edwards during a time in my life I thought I would never face. He is a perfect example of an attorney you want by your side and lead you through the many twists and turns a divorce may present. He is honest, fair, fierce, friendly and the list could go on. He makes you feel like you are his only client and what you are fighting for is the utmost importance not only to you but him as well. I can honestly say that I would not have survived my divorce without Mr. Edwards by my side. There may be many attorneys in my area, but Mr. Edwards is second to none. He is top notch.

Divorce can be difficult and stressful, and Tim Edwards did an exceptional job representing me. He was smart, calm, knowledgeable, and keenly aware of my needs. I was thoroughly satisfied with the result in court--because we won! I couldn't give a higher recommendation to a excellent attorney.

I am writing this review on my experience with Tim Edwards as my attorney in an extremely difficult divorce case. It would be an understatement on my part to just say Tim did a great job..... he was absolutely incredible. His attention to detail, his knowledge of the law and most importantly his legal strategy were top notch! He made sure my interests were fully protected. Tim was great at communicating with me and made sure I knew what to expect during the entire process. I would recommend Tim to anyone seeking an extremely talented, dedicated, professional attorney. He is absolutely the best!!!!

I would highly recommend Mr. Edwards. I hired Mr. Edwards five years ago to handle a temporary child custody, temporary child support & spousal support case that went to trial. He went on to handle my permanent child custody and support case that also went to trial. My divorce decree was also finalized by Mr. Edwards. Later, Mr. Edwards handled the hearing when child support was adjusted because a minor had aged out of the system. He then handle multiple motions for contempt of court I was forced to file to have my former spouse comply with the court orders in effect. There has almost constantly been one contempt of court motion or another going for the last four years due to the noncompliance of my former spouse. In the last five years of watching family law cases being heard in Fayetteville I have learned there are two important attributes a family law attorney must possess. A proficient attorney requires a good working knowledge of family law & case precedent. Secondly, an excellent attorney must have the ability to cultivate good relationship with other attorneys and the judges. It is a significant factor in any case if the attorney is well liked and respected by his peers and judges. Mr. Edwards exemplifies these qualities. Some of my case fell out of state guidelines and required a the presiding judge to reach a reasonable conclusion. In court, Mr. Edwards was able to provide me with a strong argument of the circumstances based on his knowledge of the law and case precedent. Mr. Edwards is a steady individual to have at the helm of your case during what is an emotional time for you as the client. I have used Mr. Edwards for the past five years and continue to do so because of his commitment to my case. I appreciate the time and attention his staff devotes to the case. The Blackwell & Edwards firm has been a strong advocate for my children and me. They have actively promoted the best interest of my children using their expertise, compassion and honed command of the Cumberland County legal system. It is important to remember that you have obligations as a client. An attorney representation is only as strong as the information you provide to them is COMPLETE. Keep your financial records organized and always bring them with you. Keep detailed time lines of events. Make copies of everything. Documentation and communication is your burden. Educate yourself on the process. Ask questions! A bad experience can be the result of the client not fulfilling their obligations. Outside of the courtroom Mr. Edwards devotes much of his own time and generously give of his own resources to multiple causes in our community. He is dedicated to helping families find medical care they can afford, advocates for children, promotes metal health non-profits and seeks to improve education facilities. This speaks volumes of the heart and sensitivity of Mr. Edwards.

I retained Tim Edwards for my case. I knew I was going to need someone on their A game and extremely skilled also full of knowledge of the laws for what and who I was going to be dealing with. My ex husband was a former detective and had been in law enforcement for 12 years at the time of our separation. My ex let me know real quick that he knew his way around a court room and I would get what he saw fit to give me. Tim Edwards had his hands full when I came in to his office with my case. Tim has went above and beyond for me and my daughter. He made sure we were given what we needed and deserved after the hell my ex put us through time and time again. He was always there when I had new incidents pop up. Weather it was late at night or on the weekends his office and him handled it. He knew exactly what we needed to do next to stop further things from happening. We were in court immediately and Tim has always been there and ready to move forward. After a journey with my EX and some long days in trial. Tim did his job and more. He was on point with what we needed to get custody of my daughter and my divorce and the restraining orders i needed so my daughter and I could feel safe. I was awarded SOLE PERMANENT CUSTODY and I am beyond pleased with Tim and his office. I constantly refer people to him and everyone calls me and thanks me because they get the results desired and deserved. He's the best and has been for several years. When people refer to him in court they say "he's a bulldog ". I will continue to use him and always tell people my story and how and what he did for my daughter and I. I am grateful that he was willing to take my case. Dealing with law enforcement can be a bit of a challenge.

My husband wanted to adopt my daughter to make our family complete. We met with Tim Edwards and hired him immediately. He talked us through the process and made sure we were in the loop during each step. Our case was more complicated since my daughter was born abroad. I was told it could take up to a year but but in less than 6 months we just the stamp of approval right before Christmas. Since then, my husband and I have referred friends who have needed the best attorney to help with issues regarding divorce, custody, and adoption. All of my friends who hired Tim Edwards had positive outcomes. Long story short, if you want an attorney who will fight for you and get you results, Tim Edwards is your lawyer.

He seemed to care about my individual case, and I could always count on him to be prepared and ready for our appointments. Mr. Edwards was extremely knowledgeable and obviously has had a ton of experience with family law. His staff is also wonderful. Diane (his front office person) was so kind and pleasant every time I was there. She always greeted me with a smile and helped ease my nerves and anxiety. I was happy with the outcome of my case, and I will refer any friends or family that are in need of a family law attorney. You can't go wrong with Blackwell & Edwards.
