I went to Jimmy Evans as my attorney and what evolved into a custody case because he had come highly recommended by a parenting group. The recommendation was dead on. Jimmy listened to what I had to say and took copious notes. His staff was always respectful and kind, and I found his paralegal to be extraordinarily detail oriented, a major asset in my case. The outcome was even better than I had hoped. Jimmy got more support than expected, repayment for overpayment of insurance premiums (the judge gave us even more than we requested), and substantial attorney’s fees. Perhaps more important, Jimmy persuaded the judge and to ordered measures, such as a parent facilitator, to thwart the conflict that had afflicted my relationship with my son’s father. This was all accomplished even though the case was tried under all the restrictions imposed by the corona virus pandemic quarantine. I would heartily recommend Jimmy and his team. That was the best advice I got, and I’m passing it on.

I have used Jimmy on two separate occasions. I couldn’t be more satisfied with his work. He takes the time to explain all the different options available and gives his professional advice on each of them, so you can make an informed decision on a course of action. Unlike attorneys I have used in the past, he is always available. I highly recommend him!!

Jimmy Evans was highly rated and I needed the best representation I could get. What stuck out the most to me was his willingness to respond, give me phone calls and emails after hours, and give me his honest and up front feedback whether it was good news or bad. He made me feel confident and secure with our plan of action and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer during my difficult time.

The Evans Family Law Group did an incredible job handling my divorce case. They were truly professional in their approach and tactics in the court of law. The entire staff was very involved and responsive to counter proposals from the other party. Mr. Evans even worked on my case on his off hours and on personal holidays ensuring the most comprehensive representation a client could ask for. I hope no one ever has to experience a divorce but rest assured, the Evans Family Law Firm will take care

His experience will speak big time when it matters the most. Most striking qualities about James W Evans are he was readily available for me either via phone or email every single time I contacted him and his patient listening to my concerns and needs and quickly come up with strategies or solutions which can relieve all stress and anxiety. I would highly recommend his law office to my friends and family in a need of great divorce lawyer.

I hired Jimmy to do my ugly divorce that was very unexpected. He was able to give me peace of mind and handle my situation that i was in. He was very experienced in family law and always reassured me that everything was going to be okay. He got my long drawn out case settled and i was able to move on with my life.

Jimmy was very professional. I had a dispute with my former spouse and in lieu of court, we used Mr. Evans on an 8 hour marathon session to get an agreement worked out that saved alot of time and money vs. court. I recommend if you are about to fight it out, go to mediation first with Jimmy and try to settle it. The 8 almost 9 hours was $1000 each for me and my former spouse but when you total up a lawyer on both sides, court fees, etc I know I saved thousands of dollars plus the headache

Mr. Evans is tremendously experienced in Family Law. He gave us very honest opinions right from day one. Mr. Evans successfully got our case settled and negotiated an excellent arrangement from all aspects which otherwise would have been a very complicated case.

The entire staff of Evans Family Law were helpful and supportive during a drawn-out, painful custody case that was ultimately successfully resolved. Tenacious and intrepid, Mr. Evans demonstrated repeatedly that he had a deep understanding of the ins-and-outs of family law, the Travis County legal establishment, and the quirks of human nature. I would not hesitate to recommend Evans Family Law to anyone who needed family law representation.
