    Highly recommend this team
    Highly recommend this team. Mr. Edwards and Branden Watson were great at putting one at ease during a very stressful time. My son was charged with 2 felonies that were eventually dropped. Having an experienced team advocating for you truly makes a difference.
    Alice Flores
    Case Dismissed by State of Florida
    Case dismissed by State of Florida, charged with a felony due to some BS statements by less than reputable neighbors. My cameras spoke otherwise when I shared footage with Edwards and Jones. It would have destroyed my career and my retirement. Thanks Edwards and Jones!
    Darin Ridgeway
    So thankful for Chris Jones and staff
    So thankful for Chris Jones and staff (Michelle so helpful in any way) representing my husband in court on 2 felony charges. We were looking at several years in prison, and Chris was able to see to it that didn’t happen!! Thank you again, Chris!!
    Tammy Anderson
    This is the team you want
    When you hire someone, all you want them to do is get the job done. Mr. Jones and his team did exactly that. Three original charges, Mr. Jones immediately had two of the charges tossed. The remaining felony charge required prison time if convicted. Mr. Jones and his team continually went the extra mile, which ultimately rendered us a NOT GUILTY verdict at trial. We fought the charge for TWO years. In those two years I learned beyond the fact that they are amazing attorneys and experts at what they do, they are genuinely passionate and obsessed about their craft. In court you are fighting for your life, and this is the TEAM you want in your corner fighting for you!! Also, shout out to Michelle!
