I had the privilege of working with Bob in 2007 during a very difficult time in my life. I was going through a divorce with no family around to support me, and Bob not only guided me through the legal process with expertise, but also provided genuine support and care when I needed it most. His professionalism, responsiveness, and deep understanding of family law made a world of difference. Even years later, in 2025, when I needed a copy of my divorce paperwork, his office staff responded quickly and efficiently. That level of long-term service says so much about the kind of practice he runs. Over the years, I've referred couple people to Bob, and they've all shared how satisfied and confident they felt working with him. Whenever I have any legal needs--even outside of divorce or family law--I reach out to Bob, and he always provides trustworthy and helpful referrals to other attorneys. He's someone you can count on--responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I highly recommend Bob for anyone looking for a top-notch divorce or family law attorney. read more

Bob Edwards is very professional as he gives valid advice. He has so many qualities as an attorney. He is honest, knowledgeable, straight to the point and comical. His wisdom quotes still ring in my ear about the divorce process. I will always refer him to my peer group if needed! read more

Met Bob for a consultation, super helpful and amazing guy. Very knowledgable and gave some really invaluable suggestion. Generous with his time even though I only asked for half hour, never met an attorney this nice. Wish I could retain him but was fully booked for rest of the year, as he is a knowledgable with true intent to help! read more

I called Bob based on his 5 star yelp and he picked up the phone and talked to me about my case, gave me a few key insights and referred me to several other lawyers. From our limited interaction I can say that he is quick and generous with his time. I wish he had time for my case. read more

I use Bob first free consultation to evaluate my case. His office responded fast to set up an appointment, and he gave me good advice.He figured there is a better solution to my case and recommended so, while he could have taken up my case for litigation and billed me the hours. He is a honest and ethical attorney. read more

I contacted Bob to handle a divorce for me in 2017 so this review has been a long time coming. First off, Bob's receptionist Margarita may come off as sort of mean, however, when she warms up to you, she is very sweet. Bob, however, is very condescending and judgmental. He always seemed to add his personal opinion or unsolicited advice on my case. When I would ask questions he would answer me in an annoyed manner or laugh. My divorce was pretty painless since I was only married for a very, very short amount of time. I paid a retainer of way more money than the divorce was priced at, but, Bob recommended that we leave money there as a cushion in case my ex-husband came back and Bob had to do more paperwork. He reassured me that if the money wasn't needed that they would just charge me the hours used and refund me the rest. Needless to say, when I called to get a refund on the money that was not used, I never saw a penny of it. Bob dared to confuse me with another one of his clients and was yelling at me telling me I was her. I kept saying "Bob, Bob, Bob, I am not her". In the end, I asked him who did he think I was, and he responded by giving me the client's name and her particular information on her case which I'm sure breached confidentiality. I reiterated to him that I was not her. He yelled for Margarita and didn't even bother to put me on mute when he said "talk to this obnoxious lady, I don't have the time to deal with this". Margarita placed me on hold. She came back on the line to say that Bob was not giving me any type of refund. I know lawyers are supposed to not be the nicest people, but, geez... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DON'T HIRE BOB EDWARDS FOR YOUR LEGAL NEEDS. read more

Thank you so much Bob for helping me with my case. He is great to work with and doesn't waste much time. His team is very professional and accommodating to your requests. Great value for money. Very quick with response and communication was to the point. Overall great service. read more

Mr. Edwards is truly a blessing. I was searching for local attorneys online and I'm grateful I came across his website. I scheduled an in person consultation with him free of charge. The day of my scheduled appointment I had so many questions and he was able to give me legal guidance. He also referred me to other lawyers who could also help me with my specific case. Although I didn't move forward with him, I have to say he is an all around amazing person, very knowledgeable and kind. Im thankful for him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney! read more

i'm so happy he took the time to hear my case. Was very honest. I look forward to working with him again. I would definitely recommend him as your divorce lawyer. read more

Bob is not your typical attorney. I'm an Accountant and one of my clients had a horrible experience with another attorney. We expected for Bob to exploit this and make us pay excessively. He did quite the opposite. His number goal in cases is to settle them, not drag them along to milk funds dry. On this case, the opposing side was belligerent and hard to deal with. He had a way of ignoring the unnecessary drama, cutting through the BS and meeting the judge on her level. Thanks again, Bob. read more

Hello Yelpers, Mr. Edwards is an amazing family law attorney. I've been in a very tense custody battle for two years now. Mr. Edwards has been extremely helpful throughout this time. He is experienced and it shows in the outcome. He explains things precisely, articulated, and in a positive manner.

I highly recommend Edward Jr Bob Lynn for anyone whose going through Divorce. Mr Bob Lynn didn't charge me for his consultation, after reviewing my case and Paperwork , Mr Bob advised me to take my case to court myself and he gives me his number in case I needed him, He even made his schedule leave vacant for my court date in case I wanted him to present me the last minute if I needed him . He could easily charged me his fees and I would win my kids custody and the rest in court , but instead he said I can use that money to deposit in my kids bank account. Me and kids owe him alot , we will always remember him , *** the throught wins*** read more

I met with Bob Edwards in May 2019 to discuss what needed to be done to dissolve my marriage of 30+ years. After the initial consultation he gave me a flat fee pricing for his services and explained in detail the steps that would need to take place to end the marriage. After I completed a couple of hours worth of "homework" we met again and formulated an equitable settlement offer to present to my wife. Mr. Edwards knowledge and experience has definitely made the divorce process a much smoother and expeditious process for me personally. His assessment of my specific circumstances and the expected timeline for accomplishing the various benchmarks have been on the mark. His emphasis on keeping everything straightforward, uncomplicated, and clean is much appreciated. It has been a pleasure working with Bob on a matter that can easily turn to contentious and an emotional/mental nightmare. With his guidance and assistance the experience has been relatively free of turmoil and acrimony between my wife and me. I heartily recommend considering Mr. Edwards to anyone who is contemplating divorce. read more

I was very lost and extremely stressed, anxious, and exhausted from trying to navigate a complicated and contentious custody battle myself. That's when I found Mr. Edwards and he was committed to ensuring that my case was handled efficiently and that I was informed every step of the way. Mr. Edwards' strong analytical and advocacy skills and effective communication were evident from the start. What I appreciated most about Mr. Edwards was his empathy and understanding of my perspective and reality, which was critical in my case. Mr. Edwards' experience, knowledge, professionalism, and innate characteristics gave me confidence in the help he provided me with. read more

I am so thankful for Bob's help! He took away the stress from the situation and made everything very clear and smooth as possible. Highly recommend. read more

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. read more

I can't thank Mr Edwards enough for helping me with my divorce case. He is professional, knowledgable and caring. Without even knowing that I was going to hire him, he genuinely cared about my case, gave me advice & was very honest. He was upfront with his prices, which are very reasonable in comparison to other attorneys and he is willing to work with you as long as he can help your case. I'd highly recommend Mr. Edwards to anyone and he's now become our family attorney as I immediately recommended him to my fiancé. There isn't an attorney out there that puts as much work into his cases and educates his clients on the step by step process like Mr Edwards does. His assistant Margarita is a pleasure as well but Mr Edwards always keeps in direct contact with his clients and is always available when needed. read more

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. read more

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. Melissa B read more

I had the extreme pleasure meeting Bob Edwards when I started seeking for legal counsel. I must say that I have talked a lot of lawyers and legal advisers and no one has made me feel so confident and secure in my case than him. From the moment we spoke he listened to my entire story and walked me through step-by-step on what actions we needed to take and how it will play out in court. He picked up right away that my intentions were good and knew how I needed to be guided. By the time our conversation ended I had already memorized CA Penal Code § 3044! The time he spent with me has been invaluable, both in my case, and for my peace of mind. I am truly Blessed to have found such a wonderful person to guide and prepare me for my journey. Thank you Bob! Good luck on your future endeavors. read more

Bob is a really great guy. I came to him once for a free consultation many years back when I was dealing with a sticky custody and visitation situation with my ex husband. I unfortunately wasn't able to retain his services due to financial reasons but I greatly appreciated his advice. I have called bob up a few more times through out the years regarding the same case with new changes and situations that have arose and he continues to take my calls and gives me the help and advice that I need on what I'm able to do or what steps I need to take. I know he doesn't have to do that but the fact that he does it I'm truly great full for it. I would definitely recommend bob. read more

The divorce is complete, and Bob has done a wonderful job in guiding me through it, and in taking care of all the details.

I am super lucky he accepted me as a client, and I got the best possible outcome: both sides are reached a positive peaceful agreement. Thank you Bob - you are just awesome. read more

Mr. Edwards is a fantastic, no-nonsense, attorney focused on solutions. He took the time to fully understand my situation to guide me towards realistic/efficient solutions that would save me time in court and money while protecting my family's best interest.

I highly recommend Bob - who came to me through a friend who is a pretty tough critic, who also felt he was tops! Bob is highly specialized and extremely knowledgeable. AND - besides being very professional, he has heart, and a confident sense of what is reasonable, honest and fair - for both parties. I am certain both men and women would feel comfortable and happy with him, knowing they are in very good hands. Divorce can be a very scary time in one's life, so knowing you can relax about the legal end helps enormously. It was/is so refreshing to have such an ethical and very intelligent professional guide the legal way through otherwise uncertain times! Thank you, Bob, for being that person! read more

Going through this process is very stressful. I was thankful that Bob was on my side. Bob was very responsive which as a result made me feel less alone and really mitigated any anxiety I was experiencing. Bob also displayed integrity in handling my case. He took the time to understand what I wanted and subsequently never wavered from that stance. Lastly, Bob was knowledgeable about the filings needed, the court system requirements as well as how to best deal with other lawyers. It was a sound decision to hire Bob. read more

Bob is such an amazing lawyer! Not only did he win the case, but he really cares for his customers. He's very understanding and takes time and dedication into his work. Also he's very reasonable in price as well. I'd definitely recommend him! read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

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!!! read more
