Awesome Lawyer!

Evans was amazing to work with every step of the way. He is very thorough and professional. He is on top of everything. He helped us with buying an HDFC co-op with the HPD Homesfirst Grant. I highly recommend him and would certainly hire him again. Thanks, Evans!

superlative council!

Evans Legros represented me in a complex real estate transaction, that, thanks to his excellent council, reached a happy conclusion. It would be impossible to overstate my endorsement of his services. Thank you, Evans and the Legros Legal team!

Super Thorough and Helpful!

Evans has represented me twice in real estate transactions- he is super knowledgeable, organized, and calm even in stressful situations! He will patiently answer all of your questions, and make sure that you fully understand every step of the process. He is wonderful to work with.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
