    "Mr. Jones went beyond needed services as a lawyer to help me with my very in depth case."
    Mr. Jones went beyond needed services as a lawyer to help me with my very in depth case. Very helpful throughout the whole 6-7 month process. Not only did he get all my questions answered to the best of his abilities but also really showed compassion for my family & I during the case as well as after. 5 star lawyer, highly recommended. Thank you for all your hard work!

    "Once we hired him he started work immediately and was able to get my son's case thrown out. We are very satisfied with his services."
    I hired Mr. Jones to represent my son. We had never had to hire a lawyer and I was anxious. Mr. Jones took the time to explain what was happening and it helped lessen my concerns. Once we hired him he started work immediately and was able to get my son's case thrown out. We are very satisfied with his services.

    "I definitely would recommend this attorney to anyone needing one. He puts his heart in his work."
    I hired Christopher for situation I got myself in. He worked hard to get my case dropped. I definitely would recommend this attorney to anyone needing one. He puts his heart in his work.

    "It is my opinion that he is clearly one of the best lawyers in the city of Gainesville."
    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!!!

    "Mr. Edwards believed in us and took a chance, we will forever be in his debt."
    We are from Lake City, Florida. As parents, we sought the help of Mr. Edwards on 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 forever be in his debt. He is a great lawyer, with a very big heart.

    "He put his heart into that case."
    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 the need for an attorney ever arose again.
