I worked with Shara MacDonald-Dixon and had a good experience. Divorce is never a cut and dry scenario and is often wrought with pitfalls and other elements of surprise, but we were able to navigate these and hone in on the most important elements and get a positive outcome. I would definitely recommend Shara and her team.

Worked with Jimmy Evans in drafting and finalizing the prenuptial agreement with my wife years ago. We both thought the process was done well, even in a short time-frame as we delayed the prenuptial agreement until a short time-frame before the wedding. Years later, when filing for divorce, I used Jimmy Evans again to handle the divorce. The process was smooth, as painless as it could be, and moved quickly, as per my request. Would highly recommend.

The Attorneys at Evans Family Law Group did a great job. I initially met with Shara McDonald Dixon, she is brilliant and had my best interest in mind from the word go. I wanted an amicable divorce and things went smoothly. When Shara left for maternity leave her team stepped up and got the job done. If I need another attorney I will make sure to call The Evans Family Law Group first.

Mr. Evans and Staffs are very knowledgeable, professional and HONEST. I was new to Austin (moved from Canada in 2022) and have had bad luck with the lawyers on my divorce case. Most of them were dishonest (overcharging for unnecessary hearings, neglect for case preparation and lack of knowledge in military divorce but Mr. Evans showed immediate depth of knowledge in the issues presented and provided honest analysis. I regret that I didn't have a chance to retain him in 2022.

Evans Family Law was extremely professional in handling my case. Kimberley House and Nichole Zapata were helpful, courteous, and quick to respond. They were patient and answered all my questions. The advice provided helped me to make the best possible decisions.

Retained Evans Family Law for my two high conflict Family Law Matters. Jimmy was direct, creative and has a great sense of humor. A bit on the expensive side for me but is thorough. Will retain them again in the future as my cases are not resolved yet.

I have had to retain the services of the Evans Family Law Group twice. On both occasions, the firm has been incredible. Everyone that I encountered was helpful, professional, and respectful. Jimmy and his staff walked me through the process and answered all of my questions. Both cases worked out well due to Jimmy’s skill and knowledge. I would highly recommend this firm. And if forced to again in the future, I will retain their services again.

I reached out to Evans Family Law group regarding a prenuptial agreement and was scheduled for a consult right away. Speaking with Mr. Evans was a breeze; he patiently answered my questions and was very thorough in reviewing the documents I presented him with, providing excellent feedback and advice. I was under a less flexible time constraint and I was nervous because it was close to the holidays. Mr. Evans was able to complete drawing up my documents on time. I highly recommend Mr. Evans and Evans Family Law Group for helping make the entire process easier to understand.

I was very pleased working with Mr. Dannen and his assistants on my amicable divorce. They made the process run very smoothly and responded quickly to my questions, needs, and requests. I also felt that they genuinely cared about my case and were helpful to both parties. The court took a bit of extra time signing off on our case, but they stayed after them and updated me regularly. Plus, they had very reasonable rates. I would definitely recommend Evans Law.
