They Never Stopped Fighting for the Truth
I cannot thank Mr. Logan Doll and his paralegal, Michelle Haddock, enough for everything they did for my husband and our family. From the very beginning, they treated us with compassion, professionalism, and determination. This was one of the most terrifying experiences of our lives, and they never stopped fighting for the truth.
Mr. Doll worked tirelessly on my husband’s case and truly believed in his innocence. Michelle was always there to answer questions, keep us informed, and offer reassurance during such an overwhelming time. Their dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to justice ultimately led to the charges being dropped and my husband being released.
Because of their hard work and belief in doing what is right, my husband was saved from facing something that could have changed our lives forever. We will always be grateful for the way they stood by us and fought for justice.
If you are looking for a legal team that truly cares about their clients and will work relentlessly on your behalf, I highly recommend Mr. Logan Doll and Michelle Haddock. They are not only excellent at what they do, but they are also genuinely good people.
Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts.

Best in the Business, No Doubt
One of my family members used Chris Jones and won at trial. So when I found myself in need of an attorney, he was my FIRST CALL! They are THE BEST. Not only did they take my call in the middle of the night, they make things happen in a timely manner. I can’t thank Chris and Michelle both for their time and attentiveness. The communication is everything; they keep you in the loop. You don’t have to hunt them down or blow their phone up! They go above and beyond for their clients! I couldn’t be happier, worth every penny. If you need an attorney and you want RESULTS, look no further. I can never thank them enough for all they’ve done for my family as a whole. BEST IN THE BUSINESS. No doubt.

A Blessing When His Life Was Falling Apart
I can’t overstate my deep gratitude for Edwards and Jones. My brother, who was incredibly vulnerable due to his condition, felt lost and paranoid. Where other offices saw a complicated, draining case, this firm saw a person who needed fierce, human advocacy. Christopher Jones and Michelle Haddock were incredibly patient, communicating in clear, non-judgmental language and taking the time to explain the legal implications in easily digestible terms for my brother. They worked with his mental health professionals, not against them, to ensure the court understood his needs and not the distorted picture painted by his husband, attorney-in-fact with POA. Their compassionate approach to his mental illness, combined with their vast knowledge, says it all. Now our brother is getting the medical help he deserves and is not being treated as a criminal. They were a blessing when his life was falling apart.

They Both Went Above and Beyond
I would like to thank Christopher Jones, attorney, and Michelle Haddock, legal assistant, for their recent representation of a legal action. They both went above and beyond in assisting us. Their professionalism and perseverance paid off after many months of continuances and obstacles. Now, the defendant is getting the help he needs to become himself again. I can never thank them enough for being with us during this time of need. Many tears were shed, and many hours of sleep were lost by family. But these two never gave up. If I could rate them higher, I certainly would!! I hope this review is seen by many and you will contact them for your legal needs. They are here to help you; that you can count on!!

Calling this office was the best decision.
Calling this office was the best decision. I spoke with Michelle first, and although she is very blunt and to the point, given what they deal with on a daily basis, it is understandable. She made me feel at ease and was so easy to talk to regarding my circumstance. Branden was extremely kind and professional. He was very timely and always ensured me in the process. I knew from the beginning my situation was unique and was going to take a very competent, understanding, and hard-working individual. That is exactly what we got when working with Mr. Edwards. He was extremely knowledgeable and always took the time to explain things. I know I was very stressed and emotional, and Mr. Edwards was there to fully explain things and make sure I felt comfortable with the decisions being discussed. My situation required increased time and patience, and I received that from these individuals. I pray I will never need another lawyer; however, if I ever did, I can say I would 100% know who to call!! Thank you to every person in that office for all that was done to assist me through an absolutely devastating time in my life.
