About Edwards & Kautz
Hometown lawyers for high-stakes moments.
The firm began in 2007 around a simple idea: people facing powerful institutions deserve first-rate local representation and a team that speaks to them like human beings.
Why this firm exists
Local knowledge. Serious preparation.
A life-changing injury or criminal charge can make home feel suddenly unfamiliar. Edwards & Kautz brings the work back to a place clients can understand: a local office, a direct conversation and a plan built around the facts.
The team’s work spans personal injury, criminal trials, workers’ compensation, Social Security Disability, medical malpractice and insurance disputes. That breadth matters when one crisis creates several connected problems.
