I came to Bill Edgar wanting 2 things, a schedule change for more time with my 2 boys and a judgement enforced to receive money from my 2009 divorce. The consultation was free and the intake was easy and seamless. His firm was immediately working on my case and keeping me updated through the whole process. His staff was always available to answer questions I had. I now have an equal holiday schedule and every other weekend with overnights with my 2 sons and my divorce judgement enforced.

When you are looking for an attorney regarding a family law case, you are in an extremely vulnerable position. I was dealing with an immediate interstate child custody jurisdiction therefore, my case was very complicated; my five year old child is a resident of California and was kept in a different state after an agreed visitation schedule with the mother took place.
When I first arrived at the law firm for my consultation about my case, Mr. Roark and Mr. Edgar began to get the facts about my

Attorney Bill Edgar picked up my mess from another attorney I just fired and turned it golden. From paternity tests and issues, to past visitation and bio-mom trying to block every way I tried to interact with my son...whom I had not known till his 6th birthday when CPS called me asking if I wanted to go to my child custody hearing. I decided then and there to ride it all the way out.
My ex married someone else after a two week relationship with me. They named my son their name, one the birth cert., awarded him to bio-mom in their divorce-after notifying me via CPS. weird circumstances to say the least.
If a parent (man) does not assert his paternal relationship with 2 years of birth, the privilege of parenthood goes to whomever the mother deems. I was 4 years past the statute and Bill Edgar Law contested it and won!
Many other things came up in the case (which began when my son was 9). It lasted 2-1/2 years. I had to prove bonding-done. I had to build a foundation for a 730 evaluation-done. I WAS AWARDED SOLE LEGAL AND SOLE PHYSICAL CUSTODY AFTER BEGINNING WITH NO RIGHTS AT ALL..
I owe it all to Bill Edgar and his trained team.

Mr. Edgar and his team were very helpful in assisting with my divorce and resolving my additional child custody needs issues. They took care of all the details for me, and kept me informed every step of the way. He kept me focused on what truly mattered and that is what was best for my children.

I Hired Mr Edgar to help me with custody and a move away order for my Daughter. {para}The moment I met Mr Edgar I had a weight lifted off me, Just talking to him I knew he was truly going to do all he could to help me. He was Human and not like a lot of Attorneys who see Dollar signs instead of a person in real need of help.
Mr Edgar was Honest and Blunt with me, He told me the way it was going to go and told me right away that a move away order was almost never granted, Well I will say that this was not the case for me with Mr Edgar As my Attorney, I was Granted the move away order and was able to move 2200 miles away with my daughter......... I know for a fact that if i had not hired Mr Edgar that i would have never been granted the move away order. I Thank God every day for pointing me in the direction of Mr Edgar.

Mr. Edgar is knowledgeable on family law. I like that I have easy access to him. When I call his office either he or his office staff will promptly call me back. I feel confident when I go to court knowing he is advocating for me and giving me the best he has to offer.

Hired Attorney Harold William Edgar

When my ex-wife filed for legal separation at first I did not seek legal representation. As time went on I found that I needed someone in my corner looking out for my best interests. I am very grateful that I was put in contact with Bill Edgar and his staff. I had moved out of the Riverside area and my first contact with Bill was by phone. He immediately made me feel confident that I would be well represented by a true professional who is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and tenacious.
