I had the pleasure of working with a very talented and dedicated attorney, Sharla Evert, over the past 2+ years. I found her through another recommendation letter and I am so thankful someone took the time to write it. So I am passing Sharla's name forward to the next person(s) in need of a wonderful and caring attorney. Sharla walked us through the probate process in California where my father-in-law passed away without a will or trust, which forced our family through this long and somewhat trying process. What made matters even more complicated, we lived in Washington State, so we were very dependent on Sharla to ensure our interests were properly covered. I am proud to say Sharla went above and beyond my expectations and as such would highly recommend Sharla Evert for anyone needing a great attorney! Thanks for everything Sharla! Warm Regards, Pete and Penny Peterson

Working with Sharla was a great experience. I live in South Carolina and needed to obtain an Attorney to handle a Conservatorship. I found Sharla's information online while researching for an Attorney to handle this process. The first conversation with Sharla gave me hope and confidence needed to move forward. Sharla started the process immediately over the telephone. I personally felt a connection with Sharla in her compassion to assist me in a most difficult time. I would absolutely recommend Sharla to handle all of your needs and concerns. She is an absolute outstanding professional in her field.

A friend of ours recommended Sharla and we are so very happy that we took that advice! We live out of state and needed someone we could trust to help direct us and represent us in a conservatorship case in CA. Sharla was so helpful right from the first phone call! She was able to help us navigate a very complicated process and be there to represent us when we couldn't be present. She is extremely knowledgeable and patient. We learned so much and felt very confident in Sharla's ability to get us through the process. We would highly recommend Sharla for any legal issues you may be facing. We feel like we also gained a friend at the end of it all as well :)

My husband and I feel fortunate to have found and hired Sharla to review and update a 27 year old family trust, will, and other estate documents which required changes. From our first meeting, which she accommodated to our needs due to the Covid pandemic, her personality and professionalism made us feel very comfortable with our choice. She was patient and thorough in explaining her role and our options in the changes that we requested, clarifying legal questions we had regarding family issues. She made herself available by phone or text and always responded promptly . We will certainly use her services again if a future need arises, and have passed along her business card and recommendation to others. Very enjoyable to work with!

Let me explain where I’m coming from. I had a living trust that had been in place for 20 years. I remember all the hoops I had to jump through to get it all done. It would keep me up at night thinking about all the changes and different directions I washed I had put into it. I finally decided to just flat redo the trust to accommodate my current circumstances. I started looking into attorneys that specializes in this sort of thing. I chose Sharla Evert because of her comparison and understanding my wishes. I couldn’t be happier with my decision, she made it very easy and EXACTLY how I had envisioned. She is the best of the best. Tim

Sharla L.Evert is a professional giant with a flare for compassion and honesty. The minute she greeted me the warmth was set in stone and I knew I had made the right choice . As my Mother would say : You can’t un ring the bell. Nor would I wAnt to. Sharla helped me simplify my existing will into a more complicated one . I have adult children with issues and I needed to be protected and she knew exactly how to go about handling this . I’ve used Sharla again with my funeral arrangements and for her expertise on numerous other areas of which she took zero fees for . I have found in this rare times , a honest new friend . Thanku Sharla for walking me thru some tearful discussions and for leading me down the right path . Annie Mason
