Mr. Evans and Ashley were amazing at walking me through the most stressful time in my life as I found myself dealing with attempts to gain majority custody of my very young child. They were consistently there for me and met me with compassion and confidence.

Mr. Evans and his team have been really great advocates of me during the last three years of my divorce. Mr. Evans is like a chess player with his work, he sees everything from the big picture and plays the long game. He is understanding but also can be aggressive when he needs to be in order to fight for me. His paralegal Ashley Szymonek is wonderful. She quickly responded to every text I sent, explained everything to me, and even spent Sundays working with me to prepare for court. She is very empathetic and has been a really good team and also balance to Mr. Evans to help me always feel heard and understood.

Great experience working with Ricardo, Ashley, and Jimmy. They handled my complicated divorce with a lot of care and attention to detail, especially when it came to putting the right protections in place for our child. Communication was clear, they stayed on top of everything, and I always felt in good hands throughout the process. I really appreciate their professionalism and dedication, and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone navigating a difficult family situation.

I highly recommend Jimmy Evens as a divorce attorney. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and explains complex legal matters in a clear, easy-to-understand way. Throughout my case, he was respectful and honest, helping me understand the reality of my situation while guiding me with professionalism and care. His paralegal, Ashly, was also excellent—kind, helpful, and attentive to every detail. Together, they made a difficult process much more manageable. I would confidently recommend Jimmy Evens to anyone seeking a trustworthy and effective attorney.

I highly recommend the Evans team! Jimmy really helped me out. I needed a post nuptial agreement fast and after one phone call he wrote up a 19 page contract and had it executed in a few days. He is thoughtful and shrewd and his staff is warm and efficient. Their office is conveniently located and we were in and out in a flash. I highly recommend the Evans team!

I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Evans and Ms. Dina at Evans Family Law Group. From the very beginning, they were kind, understanding, and incredibly patient throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. They made what could have been a stressful situation feel smooth and manageable, and truly made my adoption process feel like a breeze. Their professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail truly set them apart. I highly recommend Evans Family Law Group to anyone in need of family law services. Thank you again, Evans Family Law Group, for all your help and support!

Working with Mr.Evans was great. I needed a prenuptial agreement and was quite sure exactly how I needed it structured. I probably made the process harder then it had to be he took his time and was very patient with me with explaining how things would be set up. Overall experience was great! Highly recommend

This is our second time to call Mr. Evan’s! He has been extremely helpful with our needs and so understanding of our crazy schedules! Everyone here has been to great to work with, very efficient and communicative! There is no guess work as far as where we are in a case! After 20 years of dealing with family attorneys, I finally found one that truly seems to care and will not stop until the job is done!

Jimmy helped me with a postnuptial agreement. He was very knowledgable, answered all my questions and made sure I fully understood the process. Jimmy was very professional, and I plan to work with him again in the near future to put together our wills.
