Wanzer Edwards, PC

The team at Wanzer Edwards was an invaluable resource in my divorce. Elisabeth Edwards is a seasoned attorney who knows the law and how to navigate a difficult opposing team. Her team research backed up my case and gave me the courage to stand my ground against my ex. Her support during mediation was considerable. My ex called her "abrasive". Good for her.

Holly Wanzer and Kelly Smith, the paralegal, represented me in a custody case in 2018-2019. The case was resolved and closed, and I have no complaints. My ex recently re-opened the case and because Holly Wanzer was still technically my lawyer, she was served papers. However, I only found out about the case because the opposing counsel emailed a continuance that was filed a month later. In that time, I never received an email or a phone call about the case or the summons. Because of this, I lost one whole month of valuable time to prepare for my case. When I called, I found out that they emailed me the day after the initial summons on an old inactive email address. They never once called to inform me after I gave no response. On top of that, I found out that Holly Wanzer had removed herself as my lawyer in the meantime for the case, again without calling or making a second attempt to reach me. To recap, Holly wanzer and her team, received my summons, emailed me, and then did not reach out to me via phone ONCE to ensure that I, (their client), was informed of the case. On top of that, Holly Wanzer removed herself from the docket without my knowledge and without calling me to check. So I was still a client of Holly's but she never called me once to update me on my case, even after she received no email response. If you are a client of Holly's, you might be one old email address from the same situation. I am no lawyer, but it seems like Holly and her team did the absolute bare minimum and did not care about me or my sons interest to call me and check on me. Now, I am scrambling to find representation, I am a month behind on responding to the Interrogatories from my ex, and I am in serious jeopardy of being at the mercy of my ex and her lawyer (who were the ones to actually email me about the case). Is this how Holly Wanzer and team treats their clients after they have already paid and completed their cases? Do they not feel like they have a responsibility to reach out to their clients? This lack of care and lack of respect for their clients could come back to seriously harm myself and my case. Holly Wanzer should call me ASAP and fix this issue, or I may be forced to file a complaint through the necessary channels, as well as inform all my family and friends how unprofessional this firm is.

I can’t recommend Elisabeth Edwards enough! Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference in our case. From start to finish, they were responsive, knowledgeable, and truly cared about getting the best outcome. If you need a lawyer who will fight for you and keep you informed every step of the way, look no further. Thank you, Elisabeth for your outstanding service! ❤️

While I found Elisabeth to be knowledgeable, hard working and responsive, unfortunately she was no match for my ex and their attorney.

My experience with Holly as a parental coordinator was nothing short of frustrating and a complete waste of time and money. She demonstrated blatant bias, regularly disregarded the court order, and overstepped her role by attempting to alter the terms of our legally binding parenting agreement. Instead of remaining neutral and facilitating co-parenting as required, she repeatedly undermined my legal counsel and made decisions based on her own personal experiences as a divorced parent—completely ignoring the black-and-white terms of the court’s directives. On multiple occasions, Holly used examples from her own life as a disgruntled co-parent to justify not following the existing parenting agreement, inserting her personal opinions where they had no place. Rather than enforcing the legal agreement, she twisted the process to suit her own perspective, making an already difficult situation even worse. Her job was to ensure compliance with the court order—not rewrite it to align with her personal history or experience. To make matters worse, she charges $40 just to read an email, racking up unnecessary fees while doing little to actually resolve co-parenting issues. Worst of all, Holly did not act in the best interests of the children involved, a fact even my co-parent agreed on. Instead of making decisions that prioritized their well-being, she focused on pushing her own opinions and interpretations, ignoring what was truly best for them. For personal reasons, I am not leaving my full name, but I stand by my experience. I fully expect her office to respond with the predictable "we have no record of this client" statement, but that does not erase what happened. If you’re considering Holly as a parental coordinator, save your money—she does not respect legal agreements and only adds unnecessary conflict and cost to an already stressful situation. The day her services expired was a huge relief—an absolute waste of money and resources. Edit to the Firm's response: This response is a textbook example of deflection and a refusal to take accountability. Instead of addressing concerns, it resorts to stigmatizing parents as "difficult people" while implying that PCs are infallible. The lack of self-awareness here is staggering—suggesting that only parents are ever at fault while completely ignoring the potential for bias or mistakes on the part of PCs or attorneys. This kind of response reeks of narcissism, as it dismisses any possibility of professional shortcomings and instead frames parents as the sole problem. True professionalism involves self-reflection, not blanket blame-shifting.

Elisabeth and the entire team at Wanzer Edwards have been excellent to work with! The group is kind, empathetic, intelligent, and fast!! I can't imagine this process going any better. Thank you for making a difficult time far, far easier.

Elisabeth fought for me when I couldn't stand up for myself. Utterly professional; never emotional and I respect her completely. She and her staff were quick to respond and very knowledgeable. 10/10 Highly recommend.
