Mr Edwards manipulated my mothers estate and wound up stealing every dime she had. He has a previous 2 year disbarment for over 20 counts of theft of clients money for his own personal use. Do your homework and don't become his next victim.

Don’t use him!
We had a Trust, Wills and POAs drawn up after going to one of Mr Edwards’ seminars in 2006. Now that we are faced with a terminal illness we met with a Certified Elder Law Attorney to review our documents and see if we needed anything else. The documents Mr Edwards did were so complex and messed up that all our assets would have gone to pay long term care and left nothing for the surviving spouse. We had everything redone by the Certified Elder Law Attorney to ensure my spouse and I are both cared for.

ATTORNEY CONSTANTLY HAS SEMINARS WHILE HE DOESN'T EVEN COMPLETE THE PROBATE OR TRUST
MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO A SEMINAR OF TOM EDWARDS. MY HUSBAND WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE SEMINAR, SO WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE HIM. HE SET UP A TRUST FOR MY HUSBAND WHICH CONSISTED OF OVER 100 PAGES (AND THEY CHG FOR THE NUMBER OF PAGES AND TIME. HE ALSO SET UP A TRUST FOR ME.WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED IN 2007, I TRIED TO GET THE TRUST PROBATED. I CALLED MANY TIMES AND MY CALLS WERE NEVER RETURNED. I WENT TO THE OFFICE MANY TIMES AND HE BLEW ME OFF. I TOOK STOCKS AND BONDS TO HIM TO WRAP IT UP; I DID AS INSTRUTED IN MY INSTRUCTED AND MOVED ALL THE MONEY FROM VARIOUS ACCOUNTS TO RAMOND JAMES, WHERE THERE WAS ALREADY MONEY IN IT, BUT MY HUSBAND WANTED ALL THE MONEY PUT IN THERE TO FOLLOW THE TERMS OF THE TRUST. RAYMOND JAMES MADE MANY CALLS TO TOM EDWARDS AND NONE WERE RETURNED. I CALLED MANY TIMES CRYING AND BEGGING THE PARALEGAL TO HAVE HIM CALL ME BECAUSE I WAS TOLD IT HAD TO WRAP UP W/N A YEAR AND THE YEAR HAD COME AND GONE. FINALLY, RAYMOND JAMES TOLD ME THEY HAD NEVER HAD A LAWYER PERFORM THIS WAY AND THEY REFERRED ME TO ONE OF THE BEST PROBATE ATTYS IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. THE NEW ATTY SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A COMPLICATED TRUST AND IT TOOK MONTHS FOR HIM TO DESIPHER IT. HE SAID HE COULD HAVE DONE IT IN 20 PAGES OR LESS AND HAVE IT GO SMOOTHLY. IT TOOK OVER 2 YEARS TO FINALIZE IT. AGAIN, RAYMOND JAMES CALLED TOM EDWARDS TO GET THE STOCKS AND BONDS I TOOK HIM WHICH WERE IN HIS LAP DRAWER AND SOME WERE LOCKED UP. THE NEW ATTY ALSO CALLED TOM EDWARDS SEVERAL TIMES, WITH NO RESPONSE. HE FINALLY WROTE A STRONG LETTER AND GOT RESPONSE. THIS TOOK A PERIOD OF ABOUT 1 AND 1/2 YEARS. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS TRUST AND IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.

I endorse William for estate planning. As a fellow member of the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys, we have received similar professional education. I feel confident that if I refer a client to him, they would receive excellent estate planning services.
