My experience with Attorney John Evans was great. He took over my case half-way through but when I first met him, I knew I was in good hands. He is well versed and attentive. He made sure all of my questions were answered and was upfront with me about what he was working on with my case while also remaining realistic. I couldn't be happier with the results of my case.

I have nothing but praises to sing for the law office of Tessie D. Edwards. Attorney Edwards worked on a case for me and she was very professional and always kept me in the know throughout my case. In the end, my case was dismissed and I got a fresh start at life. Attorney Beyah was my attorney for my second case and she was very professional, but also personable. She made sure I understood the process as the case was ongoing. I got the desired result from my case and I am so appreciative. In the future, if I have any legal needs or if a family member or friend is in need of legal counsel, I will be sure to recommend Tessie D Edwards & Associates.
