I have nothing but good things to say about Evans Fox overall and about Ken Kraus and Joanne Wheatley in particular. They helped me through the very difficult and trying process of managing my mother's estate. They were professional, responsive, communicative, thorough, and – most importantly – unfailingly kind. I have already recommended them to other friends and will gladly do so again.

Working with Gerard A. and his team was a great experience. As my Wife and are approaching our retirement years, we had some will, etc, adjustments that were required. They did a great job getting us updated, and also helped us to avoid a poor decision that we were about to make. Great experience!

We had not updated our wills for decades. Ken Kraus came highly recommended. He is intelligent, energetic, personable, professional, and explains the whole process in a manner that is easy to understand. We have recommended him to relatives and friends alike. If you need to get your affairs in order, Mr. Kraus is the man to see!

We have had a very positive experience with Kenneth Kraus, Esq. of Evans Fox, LLP. Not only was he very knowledgeable, but he continually demonstrated other important qualities. Detailed, timely, follows through, empathetic, professional, but friendly with a sense of humor. All these positive attributes make Ken a most trusted and valued attorney. Our experiences with his staff have also been productive. We would highly recommend Kenneth Kraus, Esq. and Evans Fox, LLP. Respectfully yours, D/G

Don treated us like "good friends," was concerned about the long and short term effects of our trust and provided excellent guidance! He clearly explained everything and we never felt like he was in a hurry.
