They were quick to get things started. I was updated frequently on the progress of my case and they gave me all my files to review.

The lawyer and paralegal were easy to work with and communicative. Made the agreed divorce process a relatively painless one.

Evans Family Law Group came recommended to me, as I was looking for an attorney to represent me for a divorce process. Mr. Evans took time to provide me a complimentary consultation and listened to my story, as everyone's story will be different when going through a divorce. He explained the steps we should take for my individual case, and provided guidance through the process. There were times I felt lost or concerned, but he made sure to address those concerns, which brought me back to balance. Going through a divorce is never easy, but everything has been taken care of and now I can start a fresh new chapter.

Finding the right attorney goes beyond hiring a single lawyer. The attorneys and staff at Evans Family Law were all well versed on my situation, took the time to thoroughly explain everything and were very responsive to the changing needs of my case.

All divorces are tough, but mine was one for the record books! It was a 9 year battle with an estranged spouse that was dishonest, manipulative, and unethical. In the early years of the conflict, I retained two different attorneys who both made big mistakes. Thankfully, when my case become most dire, I found Jimmy Evans. Jimmy brings a level of integrity, strategy, and honesty that is extremely rare in the legal profession. He fought for me, my children, and my assets fiercely over the course of two years and we prevailed in a precedent-setting custody battle even in the face of some pretty scary odds. I hope you never find yourself in a bitter divorce dogfight, but if you do, your first call should be to Jimmy Evans.

Jimmy is every bit the 'scrapper' his reputation holds him out to be. Though it took some convincing to get him into Jimmy's office, once we were there talking to Jimmy my fiancee finally understood how important it was that we get representation for our family law troubles. I am absolutely convinced that without an attorney of Jimmy's caliber we wouldn't have gotten the result we did at our hearing. He made opposing counsel look like an amateur.

I had an overall positive experience with Evans Family Law Group, and appreciate that they specialize in Agreed Divorces. I spoke initially with James Evans, who gave me some creative solutions to some complications/challenges in my case. My assigned lawyer was knowledgeable, patient, and detail oriented. The paralegal assigned to my case was also was efficient and helpful. I did experience some impact from turnover unfortunately, and had to work with 3 separate lawyers, which led to some communication gaps and lags. However, they got the job done and I am grateful for their help + support during a difficult period.

I had initially hoped my divorce case would be quick and relatively easy. It ended up being anything but quick or easy. Jimmy was very responsive and thorough, making sure the "i"s were dotted and "t"s were crossed. His paralegal, Nicole, was fantastic and very responsive. She did a great job keeping things organized and responding promptly. A former lawyer in the firm could have done things better, which is why this is not a 5 star rating, but once Jimmy was aware of the situation he worked to rectify the issues. His current team seems great.

EFLG was prompt and very responsive in attending to my needs along the way and explained the entire process to me very clearly at the outset which left me with clarity. However, I would suggest that they keep their clients informed regarding any potential changes in their legal counsels along the way, so as to avoid surprises.

Jimmy Evans and the team at the law group were very helpful and supportive during my custody case as a young single mom. Jimmy helped to ease my stress levels and set reasonable expectations throughout the entire process while continually fighting for our case. Thanks Jimmy, Ashley and the rest of the crew!
