About Joshua R. Edwards
Joshua Edwards is a family law and criminal defense attorney in Arizona who strives to give each of his clients a voice. He believes the legal system often moves forward without pausing to hear and fully understand the situation at hand, leaving individuals feeling hopeless and frustrated.
Edwards centers his representation on each client’s goals and personal definition of success. Because no two cases are exactly alike, and outcomes vary from one client to another, he takes the time to truly listen in order to better understand how to assist each individual.
Convinced that open communication and attentive listening are crucial for effective legal advocacy, Edwards makes himself available to clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He recognizes that problems can surface unexpectedly and that law enforcement may contact clients at any time. No one should have to wait until standard business hours to get help during a crisis.
