Be Cautious When Grieving – My Experience with Evan Picus

I worked with Evan Picus during a very difficult time after my wife passed away. He had previously assisted with the deed to our home and had also drafted both our wills. After her death, I contacted him for help understanding my legal rights. I was emotionally overwhelmed and trusted his advice, ...but I now realize I was never properly informed of my spousal rights — especially my right to an elective share of my wife’s estate. I was never given anything to sign, never waived that right, and was told to simply follow the will. As a result, I’ve carried the full financial burden of the property for over a decade, while being told I had no rights. I later found out this was not accurate. I’m not accusing anyone of criminal or unethical behavior — I’m simply sharing my experience and how the legal guidance I received left me in a worse position than I should have been. Others in a similar situation should be cautious and make sure all options and rights are clearly explained before relying on legal advice during grief

Excellent legal services on pre and post home closing

Evan and his team are extremely diligent in providing legal advise. They went above and beyond answering all our questions pre and post closing of our home. It was a new construction and Evan's team performed a thorough review of the contract during attorney review period building in clauses that hel...ped us during and post closing. Even several years after closing they provided us expert legal advise on how to deal with our builder who was unwilling to fix issues related to our house. I would highly recommend Evan and his team to anyone looking to buy a home.

JUST EXCELLENT!!!!!!

I would recommend attorney Mr. Evan N Pickus to anybody for his excellent support, dedication and wonderful customer service. He has a great team who are very helpful and knowledgeable. Mr. Pickus saved me a lot of money while he represented me in the purchase of my new house as well as selling the... old house. He always outsmarted the attorneys from the other sides. He is well versed in all the rules and regulations and went above and beyond to look for my best interest. I wish him and his team the best!

Your goto crew for real estate and other legal matters.

Evan and his legal team are definitely the right choice for Real Estate matters. My particular real estate case was long and drawn-out ( by no fault of their own) but they made sure I closed on my property. They pulled out all their heavy guns when it came to bumps in the road and really make things ...happen for me. Evan, Nicole and Heather are your dream team when it comes to real estate law. Thanks a million for making it happen for me. Your efforts we're truly appreciated.

Excellent service!

Evan and his team members, helped me close the deal for my new house. The lender tried to delayed the closing, but Evan and Nicole kept pushing them for closing and we were able to close right before new years. During the whole proccess i didnt have to do much of communicating with any one other than... my Lender, because Evan and his team were able to get every one on same page. I highly recommend that you guys hire Evan Pickus as your attorney, because i can gurantee that you guys will walk out happy. Just like i did.
