Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Working with Evans Family Law was a great decision during my very stressful divorce. Working with Kimberley and the Evans team made this very difficult process much easier. There were many unexpected circumstances that came up during my divorce and they were able to navigate me through the challenges. I appreciate their level of communication. I had many questions and concerns and they were able to provide clear and helpful information. The Evans team is was very professional and empathetic to my situation. They were realistic about expectations and worked hard to get me the best outcome possible. The billing was itemized, straightforward, and transparent about their services.
Had Jimmy and his team draft me up a document and he was quick to respond when needed, professional, good back and forth and did a good job of explaining terms and any concerns I had.
First consultation was free of charge and he gave you advice. His office staff was attentive and professional. Highly recommend.
I worked with Jimmy over a number of years on my case. In the end, the matter was resolved with all objectives reached. Thank you to the team. I felt EFLG were behind me from the very early start, cleary explaining the strategy behind their efforts.
Great team. My case was handled as expected. Jimmy and his team are trustworthy and professional. Being dragged through the judicial system without good representation is scary and a team live Evans Family Law Group will be on your side.
They were quick to get things started. I was updated frequently on the progress of my case and they gave me all my files to review.
The lawyer and paralegal were easy to work with and communicative. Made the agreed divorce process a relatively painless one.
Evans Family Law Group came recommended to me, as I was looking for an attorney to represent me for a divorce process. Mr. Evans took time to provide me a complimentary consultation and listened to my story, as everyone's story will be different when going through a divorce. He explained the steps we should take for my individual case, and provided guidance through the process. There were times I felt lost or concerned, but he made sure to address those concerns, which brought me back to balance. Going through a divorce is never easy, but everything has been taken care of and now I can start a fresh new chapter.
Finding the right attorney goes beyond hiring a single lawyer. The attorneys and staff at Evans Family Law were all well versed on my situation, took the time to thoroughly explain everything and were very responsive to the changing needs of my case.
All divorces are tough, but mine was one for the record books! It was a 9 year battle with an estranged spouse that was dishonest, manipulative, and unethical. In the early years of the conflict, I retained two different attorneys who both made big mistakes. Thankfully, when my case become most dire, I found Jimmy Evans. Jimmy brings a level of integrity, strategy, and honesty that is extremely rare in the legal profession. He fought for me, my children, and my assets fiercely over the course of two years and we prevailed in a precedent-setting custody battle even in the face of some pretty scary odds. I hope you never find yourself in a bitter divorce dogfight, but if you do, your first call should be to Jimmy Evans.
