Excellent Lawyer

I have been working with Evans for over 10 years. He first helped me file my DACA paperwork and later to adjust my status to legal resident after I got married. He has impeccable attention to detail when it comes to filling out the forms and he continues to stay up-to-date of the latest immigration n...ews and policies. He's been beyond attentive over the years and is always available for the many questions my husband and I had during the status adjustment process. Evans makes you feel heard, prepared and protected. We will continue to use Legros Law Firm and Evans' counsel for years to come.

Very professional, swift, organized and nice

I hired Evans as my lawyer for my citizenship process that spanned across COVID and changing timelines and requirements. I contacted him in Summer 2019, we submitted in October (the exact day I was eligible to submit, so no day lost!) and the approval came in December this year. Throughout the proces...s Evans was very thorough, clear and did not let any delays occur from anything that was in our control. He is extremely experienced and organized which made it simple for me. Even through COVID he was responsive to email and provided immediate indications to changes in timeline, etc. I would recommends his services to any and all.

Above and Beyond!

Evans took on my complicated immigration case and by far surpassed my expectations. He educated me on the entire process during the consultation and highlighted the pros and cons of my situation. Evans’ knowledge and experience made it easy for me to trust him with my case and I am forever grateful f...or his help. I’ve recommended him to others and will continue to do so.

They made the impossible happens so quickly and so professionally, a 100% success in my case.

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.
