I cannot say enough good things about Daphne and her team. The first consultation I had with Daphne I knew she was the one that I needed in my corner and I was 100% correct. She is very professional, extremely knowledgeable, has great communication, and most importantly always had my best interest in mind. I can’t thank Daphne and her team enough for their efforts in my case. It was a long journey that ended in the best possible outcome due to Daphne.

When I thought it was going to be nearly impossible to get my son back, not only did Daphne lay out a plan to get my son back and set up the strategy, but she also walked me through the plan, and helped me reach my targeted objectives. From the moment I met Daphne, I knew she was the one to get the job done. She and her team have been professional, exacting, prompt, and, at the same time, very approachable and made themselves available to answer questions or provide news on progress during the process.

Daphne Edwards and her staff were invaluable to me throughout my divorce. Daphne worked hard on my behalf from day one until the day the divorce decree was granted. I was apprised of all the developments in a timely fashion, and she listened thoroughly to my concerns. I am very grateful that someone of Daphne’s caliber represented me, and highly recommend her. She definitely made this experience less painful than it could have been due to her experience and skills.

aphne was the best. I was so lucky to find her. Through the most difficult time of my life, she was supportive, compassionate, and cared. Daphne listened as I shared my story. There was a restraining order filed against me under false pretenses. Daphne showed me exactly how she could win my case, which she did. She took a huge weight off my shoulders. Daphne’s knowledge of law showed in her confidence and execution. Daphne, you’re the best. Thanks again.

Divorce is difficult and there are no absolute winners. Great counsel is about setting expectations and executing on an achievable game plan. Daphne provided great counsel and set me up to have an expeditious and thoughtful outcome. The level of energy and passion she brings to advocating for her client is also extraordinary. Definitely a top tier option for family law representation in NC.

Oh my Goodness, where do I start? First of all, since I’m from a tiny town in Duplin County, finding legal representation in Raleigh was something I knew I had to do. I had no idea where to begin because I was not from the area. I only knew that I required the best. After our video conference, Attorney Daphne gave me a reason to believe that there was still hope for a child custody arrangement that the biological father wanted to change after seven years of no contact...
