Bob Lynn Edwards Jr

I recently got divorced in ⁰⁸⁄₁₅
I started with Attorney Larry Arguello in Fremont. He seemed good When I met him first but was very slow and he had no idea about his case status
His para legal Jenifer used to work on all his cases and she had a bad attitude… If I would have gone with Mr Arguello I wouldn’t be divorced by now. It could have taken 1 more year.
I needed Some one who gives attention on my case and work on it with a personal attention
Mr. Edward was recommended to me by my close friend… She told me If I want to settle my case quickly and efficiently
Mr Edward Is a way to go…
I switched my attorney right away because I could tell how informative he was when I first met him
From that day He took over my case and I had nothing to worry about.
He is reasonably priced, knowledgable, has good communication skills and He gave personal attention to my case instead of having his para legal take my calls and work on it. He Communicated with me really well during the case process and had my case finished in 10 months!!!
I am single now and very happy and very proud to make a right decision for switching the attorneys that day
I had a confidence in my case during that 10 months because I know someone is on the top of the things
Thank you very much Mr. Edwards for representing me!!!

Mr. Edwards took me for over 20K and my divorce is still ongoing after 3 years. Bob is mostly interested in telling you how great he is and billing (A LOT) for every little thing. I have retained new counsel and he was appalled at Mr. Edward’s lack of progress in my case. It is my belief that Bob is all about fees and not concluding anything. Other reviews that state Bob uses email are a LIE! Bob told me he won’t use email as it’s a distraction. My belief is that Mr. Edwards won’t use email as it would be hard to him to charge his favorite ¹⁄₃ hour, which he charges just to open a letter or send a fax. And his rate is HIGH!!! The majority of the phone calls I have received from his office are those from his staff asking for more retainer, more retainer, more retainer…
In conclusion:
If have an abundance of money to waste and are needing a severe injection of aggravation in your life, then Bob Edwards is your guy… High price does not always mean good service.

This is my first time using a family law lawyer and was overwhelmed with all the lawyers in the area. I looked on Unilocal and went with my gut felling and gave Mr. Edwards a call. I called on a Saturday to the number provided and got a voicemail box. Soon after I got a call directly from Mr. Edwards because his calls are forwarded to his cell phone. Got an appointment for the next work day and we took care of business from there. I felt very comfortable talking with him. I payed him for representation and he took care of filing my papers while keeping communication lines very open with me. Overall I am very pleased with my experience and would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Mr. Edwards

I first retained Bob in 2006 to represent me during my divorce (we have 2 children). My ex-​husband had a very aggressive and nasty attorney. I found that Bob’s style was exactly what I needed. Bob’s level of professionalism, respect within the court and understanding of my complex situation made a very difficult time easier to get through. I ended up with everything I anticipated and my stress level was greatly reduced because of the trust, respect and confidence I have for Bob.
I have maintained our relationship over the years for lesser issues pertaining to holiday or summer schedule changes etc. and re-​retained Bob in 2014 for a major custody change. My ex-​husband has the same nasty attorney and I am so grateful for Bob’s professionalism and understanding of how the court system works. He knows the process, personas of the judges and family law personnel and as a result, his ability to prepare me for mediation and court has been invaluable. I highly recommend Bob Edwards.

Mr. Edwards took my divorce case ⁰⁴⁄₁₄ and I can’t believe how fast he works and get things done immediately. I have been on search for a good competent lawyer that wouldn’t cost arms and legs, I’ve search through tons of websites and found nothing until I found Bob. I am VERY thankful to have him represent my case. He is accurate, straight to the point and will fight for you and go for the best possible scenario. I felt relief in the way he handled my case. I trust him and would definitely recommend him to everyone needing a divorce lawyer. He is very competent, dependable and an honest lawyer you can ever find in the Bay Area. Thank you Bob for finishing my divorce. Wish you all the best.

I live in Alameda County (Fremont) and Mr. Bob Lynn Edwards has over 18 years of experience in the SF Bay Area, representing women, men and children related to family law matters such as divorce, child custody, and complex property division. I was very fortunate enough to find/​retain Mr. Edwards (way before Unilocal existed). Mr. Edwards has genuine compassion for his client’s difficulties, yet he can be relentless when in pursuit of a client’s goal. Mr. Edwards knows the CA Family Law Code as if he wrote it. It was a joy and privileged to have along side me during all my family law issues.

Be careful before paying Bob a retainer fee.
I took my divorce case to him and he collected a retainer fee to start working on my case. He collected copied of my bank accounts and my assets. Then, his secretary called me less than a week later for an additional retainer fee, this was even before they even got started on my case. They know I had enough money in my account to pay more. This was a bad start for me and I took my case somewhere else. I never got any refund for my retainer, and they did not send a breakdown for their charges.

Bob Edwards handled my divorce, in 2011. My ex spouse and I were married close to 25 years and although I never wanted to be divorced, Bob was very understanding as he handled my case with dignity and integrity. I would not have made it through the difficult times had it not been for his expertise and knowledge of family law. I looked around and discovered his pricing was very fair, as well. Compare him to other attorneys regarding experience. He is one of the few attorneys that offers a free initial consultation. Please refer to his website to view his clients reviews. I absolutely recommend Bob, and I have referred others, including friends and family. He is the best!. You should ask the clerks at the court and other attorneys that know Bob. Bob has a reputation for resolving cases. Some people do not want this type of attorney because they want to fight. In reality, the judges want the parties to settle. I cannot stress how important Bob’s approach to handling divorces helped me tremendously. Bob is extremely ethical and always returns phone calls. If you want to settle, he’s your man. :)

The right person for the right job. Bob has been my attorney for close to ten years. In those ten years, my ex-​wife tried her hardest to defraud every court agreement she entered into. She is currently on the run from me since she owes me more than $ 50,000 in reimbursements. Watch out for her and her husband who also defrauded the bankruptcy court. But, bob made sure our son only felt the minimal effect of a bad situation.

Be aware, I had a horrible experience with Mr. Edwards. First, I would feel belittled when I would go for appointments. Also, he would always talk about how he has all this experience and I felt I got nothing in the end. Second, his assistant screens all calls, therefore, I would rely on her to give him messages. Either she didn’t tell him or he never returns calls. His assistant admitted one time that she forgot to call me herself when she said she would. In the end, I ended up firing Mr. Edwards and going to the courts and using the self help dept (wonderful people) filled out and filed all necessary papers and finished the deal myself. HUGE waste of time and LOTS of money down the drain!!!
