Anthony Campbell
I hired Carol L. Edward for an immigration case after seeing her impressive recognitions, including being named Lawyer of the Year in Immigration Law. She has been practicing for over 24 years, which gave me confidence in her expertise. However, while she was professional and knowledgeable, I found her communication to be a bit slow. There were several times when I had to follow up to get updates on my case. The wait times between responses were longer than I expected, especially given her extensive experience. Additionally, while she clearly understood the complexities of immigration law, I felt that my expectations about the timeline and process weren't always well-managed. The case was resolved successfully, but I had to be proactive in keeping things moving. Overall, I would recommend her for her expertise, but clients should be prepared for slower communication and may need to take an active role in their case.
