    GET THIS LAWYER!! Brian Edwards is by far the most effective lawyer I have seen. He has gone above and beyond for my case. He genuinely cares about his clients and will do whatever it takes to get the best possible outcome! As he has done for me. I could not have asked or dreamed of a better outcome for my case. If it wasn't for Brian I would still be in the system. I was on probation for controlled substance for the past 4 years, and Brian through his hardwork and determination got my probation completed and time served. I am a free man today because of his excellent help! Thank you so much Brian!
