Edwards & Edwards, P.A.

Focus and practice areas

Edwards & Edwards, P.A. handles a wide slice of everyday legal work for people and businesses in Jacksonville, Florida. The firm covers probate, family law, real estate, criminal defense, business law, estate planning, personal injury, evictions and immigration.

Within those areas the site names specific services. Business formation and contracts sit on the business side. DUI defense appears under criminal work. Wills, trusts and powers of attorney make up the estate planning offering.

Family law at the firm includes divorce, child custody, child support and alimony. On the property side, Edwards & Edwards handles residential and commercial closings, title issues, property disputes and homeowners' association matters. Probate administration and estate litigation round out the list.

What a mix like this usually means for a client

A firm carrying both transactional and courtroom work tends to see the same client more than once. A real estate closing today can turn into a probate file years later when the same property passes through an estate. In my opinion that continuity is the practical argument for a general practice: the file already exists, and so does the relationship.

How the team is built

Four attorneys are named on the About Us page. Amanda L. Edwards is shareholder and founding attorney. Meghan E. Edwards is managing partner. Jasmine N. Alexander and Jordan C. Wittmeier are listed as attorneys.

The firm describes itself as sister-owned, family-operated and run entirely by women. That structure is uncommon enough in Florida legal practice to be worth stating plainly. It also explains the shared surname across the two senior roles.

Edwards & Edwards states that its lawyers have more than 65 years of combined legal experience. Spread across four attorneys, that figure points to a group with substantial time in practice rather than a recent startup bench. The site keeps the number at the firm level, so individual admission years are for a client to ask about directly.

What the record shows about its history

The firm opened in 2013. That gives it more than a decade of continuous operation in the Jacksonville market as of 2026. For a small practice, surviving that long says something about repeat work and referrals, because small general firms rely heavily on both.

The firm serves individuals, families and businesses in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas. Its office is on Southpoint Drive South. Geography matters more in real estate and probate than in most fields, since both are governed by county-level offices and courts, and a Duval County practice works those systems routinely.

Context on the work the firm names

Probate and estate administration

Florida probate generally runs through the circuit court in the county where the person lived. A personal representative is appointed, creditors get formal notice, and assets are inventoried before anything is distributed. Formal administration takes months in a clean case and longer when heirs disagree. Estate litigation, which Edwards & Edwards lists separately, covers those disagreements: will contests, challenges to a personal representative, and fights over what belongs in the estate.

Real estate closings and title

A Florida closing turns on the title search. The searcher looks for liens, unpaid taxes, easements and gaps in the chain of ownership. Anything found gets cleared before funds move, or the deal gets restructured. Homeowners' association matters, also on the firm's list, usually involve assessments, covenant enforcement or liens the association has recorded against a unit. These reach a courtroom less often than they get resolved by letter and negotiation.

Family law

Divorce in Florida requires residency and a filed petition. Custody is decided under a parenting plan framework, with time-sharing and parental responsibility handled separately. Child support follows statutory guidelines tied to both parents' incomes and the overnight split. Alimony is discretionary and depends on need, ability to pay and the length of the marriage. A firm handling divorce, custody, support and alimony is equipped for the full set of issues a single dissolution can raise.

Criminal defense and immigration

DUI cases in Florida move on two tracks at once. There is the criminal case in county court, and there is a separate administrative process at the DMV over the driver's license, with a short window to request review. Missing that window costs the license regardless of what happens to the charge. Immigration work runs through federal agencies and, in removal cases, immigration courts, on timelines a state court has no control over. Having criminal and immigration capacity in the same firm has real value, because a plea in a criminal case can carry immigration consequences that outlast the sentence.

Reading the listing as a reviewer

The site is direct about the things a prospective client checks first. It names every attorney with a title. It gives a founding year. It states the practice areas and then breaks each one into named services, which is more detail than many small firms publish.

Attorney biographies, law schools and admission years are absent from the site, and there are no social media profiles linked. A client who wants those details will get them by asking, and Florida Bar records are public for anyone who wants to check admissions independently.

As a reviewer, what I find useful here is the specificity of the service list. A firm that publishes "estate planning" tells a visitor very little. A firm that publishes wills, trusts and powers of attorney tells them whether their particular problem is in scope. Edwards & Edwards does the second thing across most of its practice areas.

The firm has operated in Jacksonville since 2013 with four named attorneys and a stated 65 years of combined experience across the group.

Leadership and responsibility

The titles on the attorney roster draw a useful distinction between ownership and daily management. Amanda L. Edwards carries both shareholder and founding attorney titles. Meghan E. Edwards is managing partner and attorney. The first description ties Amanda Edwards to the firm's creation and ownership, while the second identifies Meghan Edwards with current management. Jasmine N. Alexander and Jordan C. Wittmeier share the attorney title. The record identifies leadership without assigning any practice area to an individual lawyer.

That matters when a client is trying to understand who may handle a file. The roster supports a firm-level view of experience and services, while the titles provide only leadership information. The initial call is the sensible point to ask which attorney will take responsibility for a particular matter and who will be the main contact.

Scope that merits a precise first conversation

The practice list gives personal injury and evictions their own entries, but it supplies no narrower description of either category. Immigration is also named at the practice level without a service breakdown. This differs from areas where the site identifies individual documents or proceedings. A prospective client in one of these fields has a reason to describe the matter closely at intake and confirm that the exact type of case falls within the firm's current work.

Business law is more concrete because formation and contract work are identified. Those services can connect with the firm's commercial real estate work. A business might need an entity created before it signs an agreement for property, and the service list places both needs within the same firm. Any coordination between practice areas is a point to clarify during intake.

Contact point and Jacksonville base

The directory record gives the office's street address as 6620 Southpoint Dr South, Jacksonville, Florida. It also publishes 904-454-4881 as the telephone number. Together, these details let a prospective client identify the physical office and make direct contact before arranging a visit. The location is consistent with the firm's stated service to Jacksonville and surrounding communities, while the numbered address is more useful for navigation than the street name alone.
