HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! The law offices of Edgar Williams have represented me on multiple occasions since 2008 from divorce, child custody, child support and domestic violence. Jeremy is extremely knowledgable in all of these areas. He is an honest, no nonsense attorney. Dana and Jeremy respond in a timely manner and are very professional. Not only did he get me full custody of my children, he actually got us more child support than we were originally asking for. GREAT TEAM!

Very happy customer here. Hired Nicole Anderson to handle a very difficult family law case and the outcome was amazing. She did exactly what she said she would and I am thrilled she saved our family. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. R Birmingham

Very happy customer. Family law is very stressful, they solved all my issues. As a father I have 100% full custody of my daughter couldn’t be more blessed. When you don’t know which way to turn and get the correct help Laywer Brian Dow knows what he is doing ... they really do know what they have to do to get where you want. Highly recommended. Best laywers ever!!!!

It is my hope that you read this review and come away feeling secure in your decision to retain the services of Jeremy Roark and the Law Office of H. William Edgar. To begin, I was a client of Jeremy Roark since 2015. When we first met, I had an approximate custodial timeshare of 10% along with trying to prevent my daughter's mother from relocating to New Jersey. Now, I have 75% timeshare and my daughter will remain in California. I hope you entrust Jeremy Roark and H. William Edgar as I did.

I called Bill Edgar Law for assistance with a Family Law matter. Although their main office is in Riverside, they have another office in Anaheim, which is much closer to where we live. We were offered a free consultation, and had the pleasure of meeting with attorney Brian Dow. He was friendly, professional and made us feel that he was more than qualified to help with our case. He was warm and genuine, making us both feel that he was genuinely concerned about helping us. Throughout the lengthy

After 2 years with another attorney and over $6000.in legal fees with NO results I called Mr. Edgar. Brian Dow was assigned to my case and things started happening immediately. The divorce was settled, my support was cut by $1400. I could not be happier with the Edgar Firm. They get results. If you need legal help you can't go wrong with the law firm of H. William Edgar.

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
