Jeff Edwards founded Edwards Law to help people obtain the justice they deserve. With this goal in mind, Jeff has successfully tried numerous cases to verdict and negotiated hundreds of settlements. Before practicing law, Jeff went to Dartmouth College and taught sixth grade in the Rio Grande Valley as part of the Teach for America Program. In 1999, Jeff graduated with a joint degree in law and public affairs from the University of Texas School of Law and LBJ School of Public Affairs. While he began his career working at an international defense firm practicing business litigation and defending companies accused of securities fraud, his passion for helping people led him to the plaintiff’s side. Since 2003, Jeff has represented individuals who have suffered serious injuries or endured significant financial hardships. Jeff has been victorious in numerous trials and has achieved several settlements resulting in multi-million dollar recoveries for his clients. Among others, these include the Richard Danziger wrongful imprisonment case, a securities fraud case brought by an Austin company against several investment banks, and the drowning of a child at a fitness center swimming pool. Jeff is well known for his work in the medical malpractice and civil rights arenas and has been instrumental in obtaining several high profile victories in Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Angelo, Marshall, Amarillo, San Antonio, and Michigan. These include police shooting cases, sexual abuse of minors by government employees, jail deaths, and failures by medical providers to diagnose cancer or provide adequate treatment in hospitals and nursing homes.
