Daphne Edwards is a genuinely caring person. I met with Daphne to discuss my child custody case and felt comfortable from the moment I began talking to her. She has a way of putting you at ease, while still being able to keep you focused on what’s important and what isn’t as it pertains to doing what’s best for your child.

"Daphne is a top-notch legal expert with a very dedicated team. They've worked hard to ensure, not just my interests are represented, but those of my daughter as well."

Daphne is a top-notch legal expert with a very dedicated team. They've worked hard to ensure, not just my interests are represented, but those of my daughter as well.

"I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Daphne & her team. From first contact, and throughout the entire process, my daughters and I have received incredible support."

I can't speak highly enough of my experience with the Daphne Edwards firm, the whole team. From first contact, and throughout the entire process, my daughters and I have received incredible support. Ashley Fillippeli, the attorney on our case, was incredible. It felt like the outcome in our case was as important to her as it was to us, and it's not possible that a person could have worked harder to prepare. The opposition was absolutely overwhelmed. Daphne, despite working on other cases, has a super-human ability to some how still be tuned in to mine, keeps tabs on the critical elements, and ensures it's all running smoothly. And as amazing as these two women have been, it is very clear that the team they've assembled to support them are the REAL heroes. Lemme tell you what: Crystal Currie has mastered the quantum realm, because there's no way a person can get done and keep track of the amount she does without the ability to alter the fabric of time and space itself. My entire experience with this team has shifted my mindset from one of anxiety, stress, and fear for what the outcomes might be, to a level of confidence that borders on unreasonable. I've been dealing with ugly, nightmarish family court issues for 3 years now, and with this team, I feel like I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"I cannot sing Daphne's praises enough. From the start, she took this case and treated my family as if it were her own. Thanks to Daphne and her AMAZING team, we WON our CUSTODY RELOCATION case and I was awarded SOLE legal custody!"

Thanks to Daphne and her AMAZING team, we WON our CUSTODY RELOCATION case and I was awarded SOLE legal custody! I cannot sing Daphne's praises enough. From the start she took this case and treated my family as if it were her own, fighting hard to make sure my daughter was protected and kept her the top priority throughout our case. I am so thankful I found Daphne through google after another well-known, highly recommended local attorney botched our case and landed us in the court of appeals with an unheard-of set of circumstances. Thankfully, Daphne is extremely knowledgeable regarding appellate law as well as relocation and knew exactly how to proceed with our case to undo everything our former attorney had done. From start to finish she excelled in making sure my family was well-informed and well-taken care of. I cannot speak highly enough of her and her team and would absolutely recommend her to anyone going through family court. My only regret is not doing enough research to find and choose Daphne to represent my family the first time around. Please do not make the mistake that I did. You can absolutely trust that Daphne will work tirelessly to make sure your family is taken care of! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Daphne! Oh, and her paralegal, David, is an absolute dream to work with. He answered any and every question I had along the way when Daphne was unavailable and promptly relayed all information to Daphne. Their organization, attention to detail, and AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE is something you won't find in this field. Don't go to court without her!

"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."

"If you are looking for a divorce attorney do not look any further. Daphne is a top-notch attorney for an affordable price. She is very patient, a great listener, and worked hard on my case. Trust in Daphne and her advice all the way."

If you are looking for a divorce attorney do not look any further. Daphne is a top-notch attorney for an affordable price. She is very patient, a great listener, and worked hard on my case. I was going through a divorce and was looking for an attorney. I was nervous and scared of the process. I read lots of reviews and found another attorney, yes a mistake! After four months I knew there was a problem and started my search again. I came across Daphne’s profile and reviews. I called her office and her paralegal set me an appointment with her that day. I went to the meeting worried that I already had issues with my last attorney and did not know what to expect next. Daphne was great. She looked over all my papers and was a great support. She is a great listener and a great advisor. She explained how she would proceed next if I retained her. I retained Daphne that day and she set off working hard to fix things and get my case going in the right direction. She helped de-escalate the situation and work out a reasonable plan for getting through the divorce. Through the process, I saw how honest Daphne is as an attorney. She advised me to not proceed with multiple actions in order to save money. She could have easily told me to proceed to make more money but she was always trying to save me money throughout the process. I also found that she is very knowledgeable about the law and knows how to navigate through the legal process. She never lied to me or tricked me to try to make more money out of me. Daphne is a fighter and wants to win the case. After going through the divorce process, it is hard but I could not have done it without Daphne and her team. Trust in Daphne and her advice all the way.

Nader S.

"Daphne has been my attorney for 3+ years and has always exceeded expectations. She is responsive, dedicated, and truly passionate about her clients and achieving an optimal outcome."

Daphne has been my attorney for 3+ years and has always exceeded expectations. She has successfully navigated a response to an Ex Parte emergency custody filing, defending a contempt hearing and defending a motion to modify custody, I could not have asked for more from an attorney. She is responsive, dedicated, and truly passionate about her clients and achieving an optimal outcome.

Whitney C.

"They were professional, very responsive, and answered all my questions and concerns."

I would highly recommend Daphne and her team. They were professional, very responsive, and answered all my questions and concerns. They suggested the best course of action, in terms of results and cost, for my custody, property, and personal matters and executed everything in a timely manner. I was overwhelmed with the entire custody process but their experience produced a well-written agreement that addressed issues that I would have overlooked. The agreement is fair for both parties and we don't expect that we will need any changes in the future. I want to thank Daphne and her team for all their help during such a difficult time.

Matthew C.

Chris C.

"From the moment I met Daphne, I knew she was the one to get the job done. She is someone who fights for her clients."

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. I am still in the process of working through the dispute but have been very happy with the work Daphne has done so far. She is someone who fights for her clients. My only regret was not finding her sooner. I would highly recommend Daphne to anyone seeking an honest and trustworthy attorney.

Former Client

"She is a wonderful communicator, and keeps me informed about where we are in the process and what the next steps will be."

I hired Daphne to help me with my custody modification case. In fact, I did not start out with Daphne but had to hire her after firing my previous attorney for lack of responsiveness, lack of strategy and lack of court preparation. I can't overstate how different my experience with Daphne has been from the very start. She was very open and honest when discussing the case with me. She listened to what I was looking for in my representation and provided various strategies. She has been great about listening to my fears and concerns and then easing them. She was ALWAYS responsive to my e-mails and questions, which frankly in my situation was weekly. I always feel better after talking to her. She is a wonderful communicator, keeps me informed about where we are in the process and what the next steps will be. I have 100% confidence in her.

Former Client

"Daphne is not only a professional, but she also shows compassion for the individual’s situation."

My husband and I had been referred to Daphne Edwards by another attorney. We were distraught with the threat of not being allowed to see our grandson. We told our story, and Daphne was very detail-orientated in taking her notes. She went above and beyond the due diligence of research on the laws and applications of grandparents’ rights. Daphne is not only a professional, but she also shows compassion for the individual’s situation. We highly recommend Daphne Edwards as a competent and dedicated attorney in the field of Family Law.

Ashley worked hard for me, I’m forever grateful for her being my attorney, and feel I owe the entire team a debt of gratitude. They changed my life for the better and restored my faith & trust in humanity to a degree. Just when I thought nothing good or kind would ever happen to me again, they happened, and that is as good as gold.

Daphne 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.

Susan S.

"Finally, a breath of fresh air! Never thought I would be saying that about a lawyer!"

Finally a breath of fresh air! Never thought I would be saying that about a lawyer! We went to the consultation and upon entering the office I could tell that this was a warm, inviting place. No pressure at all, in fact just the opposite, she sat down with us, dissected the issues, researched court findings and other information from previous cases and how they were handled, then educated us on the next steps should be.

If you’re looking for a lawyer who truly has your best interest in mind, and not how much money they can make off of you.... then, I strongly recommend Daphne Edwards as your representative and lawyer... Thank you Daphne for your time.

"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."

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.

Elly represented me throughout the entire legal process, and let me just say that there are just no words to express how diligently she and Melanie—whom I miss—worked on my case. I really appreciate you both Melanie and Elly. I genuinely like the commitment and morals when it comes to the welfare of the minor child. Which ought to be true at all times. If anything, Elly will be on my contact list so I may call her if the need arises. She is aware of this. To have Elly under ANY firm, I will just say that you should be lucky because she brings the FIRE, and I would suggest her to ANYONE. Thank you very much, Elly and Melanie.

"You won't regret choosing this firm to represent you."

I highly recommend Daphne and her team of professionals! They took on my case with very short notice for a response deadline. When I read over their response for my case I was very pleased with how well they did with less than a 36-hour notice and me all the way in Alabama. Daphne is very straightforward and personable, David and Michelle were very helpful. You won't regret choosing this firm to represent you.
