Client Review:
It has been over 10 months and i have NEVER heard back from this guy! hell i have no clue of what he looks like or sounds like! His assistants are rude and they very rarely return calls, The communication is virtually non-existent! I would NEVER, i repeat NEVER recommend these people to anyone! i just have a feeling i will not receive fair compensation. I tried to get another attorney but no one will take the case because of how far along the case! Talk about bad decisions, this i one of the worst ive ever made!!!!!!!

Avoid this lawyer

Client Review:
I strongly recommend that you DO NOT use this attorney. I signed up with the Evins, Friend & Sklare firm for a personal injury case and I received egregious mishandling of my case - bordering on malpractice.
The communication was virtually non-existent. After being in an auto accident, I called the office approximately a dozen times over the next year to make sure that the case was moving forward, but I rarely received a call back, and never from an attorney. Since I didn't have any experience in similar situations, I really didn't know what to do. I received no guidance or advice on the proper documentation of injury or handling of my case. Because of this mishandling, I did not receive fair compensation. The office staff is consistently rude and simply does not return calls.
Finally, after sending a letter threatening a malpractice suit against the firm, I magically got a call the next day and a little bit of attention, albeit with an everpresent petulant attitude. I ended up calling other law firms to see if they would take over my case, but they declined, since it was so far along.
I don't know if they are overbooked or are simply disorganized and lousy, but I would STRONGLY recommend NOT using Evins or his firm. Call around. Speak to several lawyers and make sure you feel comfortable with the entire firm before signing on. Good luck.
