I hired Regina 11 years ago to help me get custody of my son after the first attorney I hired only wanted to compromise. Regina wanted me to win and looked after the best interests of my son first. 10 years later I hired her again to help me get child support from the now absent mother, and we won again. As soon as that ended I had to hire Regina a 3rd time to defend against a custody suit which I also won. She’s 3 for 3 and if I ever need an attorney again there’s no decision to be made, I’ll come talk to Regina.
When she would question my ex-wife in court she was very tough and firm, wouldn’t let my ex get away with anything. That was fun to watch. I didn’t want someone in there always playing nice, I wanted someone like Regina who was nice until it was time to not be nice.
The judges seem to love her and she’s been around long enough that she knows what each judge is like and what they’ll respond to.
Hire Regina!

Exceptional Father's Rights Attorney
Regina is an exceptional attorney. I can't find all the words to express how amazing she is. Unbelievable results. Organized, Experienced, Professionally Aggressive, Kind, Understanding, Patient, Strategic. Listen to everything she tells you to do, provide her what she needs promptly and organized, and get out of her way. Help her only if she asks, and do not interrupt her. Regina, I will never forget what you did for our family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are changing lives for the better, that is how important what you do is, and how good at it you are! Come on Down!

Regina is grossly unethical with a nasty attitude. She is never in office and will not respond to your messages unless she's getting nasty with you. She reminds you of her business hours, but makes special concessions if she needs to get sassy with you. If you want a lawyer that will be your advocate and communicate with you. SHE IS NOT IT! She is always on vacation, her work is rife with typos, misspellings, and inaccurate information. As a woman who watched her mistreat a father fighting for his son, she's got some inner issues herself to set men up for the fail and then try to make them feel bad by throwing the details of their case in their faces. She somehow mysteriously knows how to wipe these reviews, but I'll keep posting them and I will keep writing the powers that be. I understand there are some lies and bending in law, but Regina as a person is BROKEN. Save your money and your time dealing with this crook.

I missed red flags in our consultation when Regina felt comfortable to vent about another client with me during our first interaction. She went on to say how she would help me. Little did I know she was just saying what she thought I wanted to hear. I found out after paying the retainer fee that she lied about her capabilities. I have proof of the conflicting information she provided me and will be filing a compliant with the state bar. I strongly suggest steering clear of this unethical predator, and anyone who does choose to do business with her will need to record EVERY conversation.

Regina lied to me from Day 1. Told me everyting I wanted to hear to get paid. Going forward 5 months into my case with little results, she decided to withdraw from my case because I told her that "she doesnt have my best interest", which was true. She simply doesnt care. Slow to answer emails. Slow to return calls. Slow to do anything really. The list goes on and on. Assumes no responsibility. Deflects everything. However she is awesome with going on vacation. She needs to put "superstar" on her website to make you think she is good when in all reality, she does just enough work to keep her license. You will find that Regina isnt associated with the BBB. Of course not. She would have a F. I am reporting her to the State at this current time. Consder this your warning if you are debating whether or not to use this woman. Buyer beware. Bigtime. My advise... Find another attorney... anyhere. . . . .

Regina is a great attorney and I have had no issues. She is very aggressive and to the point. I have received nothing but great advice to date. Look up " State bar of Georgia" and enter her name. She is in good standings with the State. That's where you need to look, not the comments below. Thank you.

Regina Edwards doesn't even live in GA!!! Her most recent formal ethics complaint is going to lead to her being disbarred. RUN from this attorney or get your money back immediately!

I don't even know where to begin. All of the reviews below are representative of my same experience. Regina is a joke. She should be disbarred. I gave her $7500 and never heard from her again until it was time to make another payment. Even then, she threatened that if I did not pay, she would withdraw from my case. She does not return phone calls nor does she respond to emails. She is never in the office and is always on vacation. Avoid at all costs!! You have been warned!

She takes your money and goes on leave. Never returns phone calls until after the date when you are obligated to pay more money. The worst lawyer I have ever met. You have been warned!

OMG!! I should have researched Regina before my mom hired her for her divorce case. Every thing mentioned in the comments below happened to my mom. We had no idea a lawyer could be this bad. We plan on reporting her to the state bar of GA.

I would have been better of going pro se. It was almost like she worked for the other party and just tried to get me to agree. Do not under any circumstances hire her! I wound up paying more child support than the court would have ordered with an unfit mom.

I will never use this Attorney again! Nor will I reccommend her law firm to anyone. This case was finalled more than a year ago and the it gas yet to be filed with the judge so that the opposing party can pay child support that was ordered but she got paid her $7000.00. She wont return phone calls nor anything!

I hired Edwards and Associates because they are marketed as a father's rights advocate... big mistake. Ms. Edwards is inefficient, disorganized and, believe it or not, arrogant. She doesn't return phone calls or emails until weeks later. She is slow, inconsiderate and unprofessional. She advised me to reschedule a hearing because she was unprepared; she had not collected discovery from the opposing attorney. I later found out that she collaborated with the opposing attorney to remove the case from the judges calendar, under the guise that I had decided to resolve the matter, outside of court. I never advised her of this and was unaware of it until I visited judges chambers for myself. I paid her to file contempt against my ex and she did nothing but collect the retainer and shuffle papers. Do yourself a favor, avoid this firm.

Took my case. Never met her until the hearing. She never returned phone calls, was totally unprepared. Charged me over $9,500 and no work to show for it. This was the worst experience I have ever gone through in my life. AVOID EDWARDS & ASSOCIATES.

Yes, you are better off going it alone, especially if you are a man. Ms Edwards advertises "Father's Rights" but that is just a way for her to attract a specific niche. I was also passed to another attorney after my retainer was secured. The outcome of my case was preset under the guise of keeping my expectation 'realistic'. I ended up leaving the law firm and had a much better turn out by defending myself. I know that for a fact because my attorney did not even intend to go for half of want I ultimately got. Too much time was spent just milking me for my money. I find it nearly impossible for an attorney to look out for my best interest and run her business at the same time, since the longer the case lasts, the more money she makes. You should do your own research and have a plan. An attorney should merely help you implement that plan or advise you based on his/her knowledge of the law and the courts. She should never take over and force you in a particular direction.

If you are looking for a lawyer who views communication & preparation as totally unnecessary than Regina Edwards is the perfect attorney for you! Had I recorded every inept conversation that took place with this firm they would be laughed out of the profession by their piers. Unfortunately we took her kindness and confidence from the initial meeting and blindly assumed that would mean professional representation. If everyone could get away with offering this type of non-existent customer service and charge $350/hour we could all retire fat and happy! When looking for legal representation PLEASE keep your sanity and your odds in your favor by staying away from this firm! They will not discuss or explain your case, they will do everything last minute, she will without a doubt play God with your life and your case and not even consult with you first. Fortunately for me, mine was a fairly simple case, yet working with this team was not worth the stress they caused!

Regina agreed to take my divorce case but as soon as they got my retainer, they became difficult to reach. I was referred to a teammate the week prior to the proceedings. The individual my case was referred to received affidavits the Friday before my case but didn't bother to tell me about them until 5 minutes prior to our case starting. They had no strategy or plan whatsoever. They didn't take the time to know any of the details of my case...absolutely no preparation! Don't waste your money...you're better representing yourself than dealing with this team!!

Choosing Regina Edwards (Atlanta, GA) was one of the worst mistakes I have ever made. I would have been better off going it alone. I cannot imagine that the outcome or experience could have been worse than with Ms. Edwards. A few reasons why: Regina set up TWO separate hearings without so much as a phone call or email to me. She only notified me after the fact that we had a court date - the first of which, I vehemently opposed because I feared it would not be in my best interest. I was right. I got slapped with unreasonable payment requirements to my spouse while we awaited a final settlement. I was not given a choice or notified - just "be in court on X date". Then she didn't even show up to the hearing. She sent another attorney whom I had never met or approved of. She refused to take calls on her cell phone. She seldom returned calls in less than a week, and she was rude and NEVER accountable for her countless mistakes. Terrible advice, terrible service, terrible attorney.
