Divorce was the most painful experience of my life, I had no idea what good or bad representation looked like. At times I had doubts, but when it mattered most, Jimmy delivered. He understood my priorities, built a strategy I could follow, and the result was exactly what I wanted with only minor concessions you would have to expect from the start. Jimmy isn’t a therapist and won’t coddle you, but if you’re ready to treat divorce as it's meant to be treated, strictly business, he’s a partner you can count on when it matters most.

Jimmy Evans is smart, easy to reach and did a good job on our agreed divorce. He did not add on superfluous charges which we appreciated. Unfortunately, his assistant/secretary was not at all accurate or on top of things. This resulted in numerous misspellings on Jimmy’s drafts and a misspelling of both of our names on an official document that she filed with the court. And Jimmy charges $175/hour for her work! With an adequate assistant Jimmy’s firm would be great.

Was given many options. Think the law firm could be more compassionate and understanding, since it is a family divorce law firm. Going through divorce is horrendous and stressful, especially with unknowns. This law firm is very knowledgeable and did offer many scenarios.

We had a prolonged experience with Evans Family Law Firm. We first spoke in July 2023 to begin an open and shut case termination and adoption case that was uncontested. It should have taken a few months and took 8 to finish, along with over twice the amount of money originally suggested it would cost.

Hostile when I disagreed with his advice. Very expensive and accounting was inaccurate.

Working with this law office was NOT a great experience. My lawyer left the practice mid way through my divorce. My new appointed attorney was not what I was expecting. I ended negotiating my own divorce terms with my now ex-husband and just needed them to legally submit. Would not recommend them for a divorce.

We were assigned 3 different attorneys and numerous paralegals. We continuously have to spend time closely examine the bill for accuracy. The 1st one did nothing for the case but billed us anyway. The second one was not at all responsive and her advices cost us money without yielding any results. The third attorney finally moved our case forward to conclusion. It should be noted that when we complained, billing errors were corrected.
