My areas of practice include commercial and residential real estate, as well as consistent involvement in commercial loan documentation, representing numerous area financial lending institutions and business borrowers. In addition, I handle zoning and subdivision issues.

Born and raised in Springfield, MO, I obtained my BSBA in finance and banking from the University of Missouri at Columbia, and my JD from the University of Tulsa, College of Law, before returning home to begin my legal career. For the past 19 years, I have had the privilege of assisting individuals and businesses of all types and sizes throughout Missouri with their legal needs.. I am licensed to practice in all Missouri courts, as well as the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, and I am a member of the Missouri Bar and Springfield Metropolitan Bar Association. I currently represent clients in a wide variety of practice areas including business and commercial law, business litigation, contract litigation, real estate transactions and litigation, creditors’ rights (collections, foreclosures, repossessions, replevin, etc.) and contested family law matters (divorce, custody, visitation and support). Whether my client is an individual or business, big or small, and regardless of the nature of the case, I pride myself on providing timely, responsive, effective, and cost-efficient representation.. In my free time, I enjoy being with my wife and pets, golf, riding my jet ski at the lake, and scuba diving.

As the child of school teachers, I grew up in a home where being an educator was considered a noble profession. The ability to make the complicated seem logical, while guiding others to deeper understanding seemed instinctive. It wasn’t until I went away to law school that I realized most attorneys didn’t approach life, or their clients, in the same way. My vision in establishing Edwards Group LLC in Springfield, Illinois, was to create a different kind of law practice — one that focuses on lifetime planning for real life issues.. Throughout my career, I have actively balanced my professional pursuits with civic involvement, including service on the Rutledge Youth Foundation’s Board of Directors, the Youth Philanthropists Steering Committee for the Sangamon County Community Foundation, the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County, the Advisory Council of Brother James Court, the Board of Directors for the Illinois Baptist State Association, and leadership in my local church.. I reside in Springfield with my wonderful wife, Michelle, who is a nurse with a home health agency, and I have two children: daughter, Bailey, and son, Cole. In my free time I love spending time with my family and pursuing musical interests. I can play the piano, guitar and euphonium. I'm currently learning to play the violin along with my daughter.

As an Associate of the law firm I was employed by on January 12, 1966, I represented a banking clinet in a public offering of stock and have been involved in finance ever since that date. In November 1968, I represented the same client in a second offering of stock. I have done numerious bond projects for cities, counties, non-profits and public entities in Missouri, and in the states of Tennessee, Ohio, Texas, Arkansas and New Mexico.
