Attorney Profile

Calvin A. Edwards, Jr.

Georgia Probate Attorney

With more than 25 years of experience, Calvin is a proven litigator who focuses exclusively on probate and inheritance litigation. Every day, Calvin helps clients secure their legacies and get what is rightfully theirs through successful probate services including will contests and disputes, executor and trustee litigation, fraudulent deed transfers, and financial elder abuse litigation.
After graduating from the University of Richmond T.C. Williams School of Law in 2000, Calvin began his legal career as a Fulton County Staff Attorney to the Honorable Gail S. Tusan before beginning his career as an associate at a civil litigation law firm. There, he quickly distinguished himself as a standout practitioner, establishing new practice areas in family law and sports law. Building on this early success, Calvin went on to launch his own firm—what would later become Peach State Probate.
Over his 25+ year career as a litigator, he has appeared in both federal and state courts throughout Georgia and in other states including Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, South Carolina, Virginia, Illinois, and California. Since then, Calvin has also provided thousands of clients with trusted, reliable, and results-driven legal representation. As the owner and CEO of Peach State Probate, P.C., Calvin’s practice reflects his core values of Integrity, Courage, Resilience, and Respect—values that guided him to success as a stand-out football player and three-year starter for the West Virginia University Mountaineers football team.
Calvin is a member of the National Top 100 Black Lawyers, The National Top 100 Trial Lawyers, and the Georgia Bar Association and is admitted to practice before the Georgia Supreme Court, the Georgia Court of Appeals, the Northern District of Georgia and the Middle District of Georgia.
Our Policy on AI Tools – Peach State Probate

Our Policy on AI Tools

You've probably noticed that AI tools like Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT are showing up everywhere these days, including in the legal profession.

We'll be honest with you.

As people, we have real concerns about how these tools are built and used. But as your attorneys, we also have an ethical obligation to handle your matter as effectively and efficiently as we can without cutting corners. Sometimes that means carefully bringing these tools into our workflow.

We want you to know exactly how Peach State Probate approaches that.

We use AI tools sparingly, and when we do, it's mostly for general research and thinking through legal questions, not for writing your documents or drafting legal advice.

We never trust a factual claim an AI tool spits out without verifying it ourselves through reliable legal sources.

We will never enter your name, your family's information, details about your estate, financial records, or anything else that could identify you into an AI tool.

Nothing AI-generated ever leaves our office without one of our attorneys reviewing, editing, and signing off on it first.

If you feel strongly about how we use these tools in your case, whether you'd like us to use them more or not at all, we're happy to have that conversation.

Your comfort matters to us.

Use AI tools more in my case
Use AI tools less in my case
Don't use AI tools at all

There's one more thing we want to mention, and it's important.

As of March 2026, your own conversations with AI tools are most likely not private or privileged. We know it can be tempting to ask ChatGPT to help you draft a will or sort through questions about an estate, but the team at Peach State Probate genuinely cannot recommend that.

Probate and estate documents carry enormous weight. A single error in how a will is worded or a trust is structured can lead to drawn-out disputes, unintended distributions, and real heartache for the people you're trying to protect.

If you've already started a draft with an AI tool, we're glad to take a look at it and work with you from there. But we'd much rather be involved from the beginning so we can get it right the first time.
