Be Careful

I hired Woody to be my lawyer on 2 separate car accidents. After the first accident I was so pleased with Woodys work that I decided to hire him after my 2nd accident. Everything went like the first lawsuit and the case went to settlement. I was under the impression that all of my medical bills have ...been settled and paid according the settlement documents. After a couple years of not paying attention to my credit score I find out that the largest medical bill that was suppose to be paid was never paid according to the hospitals billing department. I went back into my settlement documents to confirm it was suppose to be paid and I immediately tried reaching out to the eveland law firm. I was able to speak with Della on the phone whom said she would look into this but went out on leave shortly after. I've been trying to get Woody on the phone to talk about this but he won't answer or return my calls. The last email I received from Woody he said he has been busy so we scheduled a day and time we can discuss this over the phone but he never answered his phone or returned my phone call. I am getting very frustrating, this $15,000 medical bill that is suppose to be paid, instead is sitting in collections and is destroying my credit, preventing me to be able to purchase anything. I am extremely disappointed with Woody and his lawfirm and I wish he would remove my review from his website. I use to recommend Woody to everyone I know that needed a lawyer but no longer, I tell them don't hire Eveland law firm.

Elwood Eveland....Woody

I have known and worked with Woody for better than 20 years (as much as I hate to admit it) He is the only attorny I would use. Having him on your side is like having family on your side. He is kind, efficent, trustworthy, and honest with you, like it or not! I appreciate that in him. I don't know... of too many attornies that are upfront and honest. He represented me through a long case and several attorny changes on the other side. He never let me down, and he is still representing me. I wouldn't want any one else.

Review for Eveland

Mr. Eveland is helping me work through the maze of personal injury law. My case is in process. I have also consulted with him on another matter, he was responsive and gave me answers in a very tight time frame. This help me make a decision that I felt comfortable and informed. I feel that h...e has my interest in mine and will work throught this long process to gain the best result for me.

Review for Elwood T. Eveland Jr.

As a former Council member of a large Condomium development, we retained Mr. Eveland for: collections, Civil and Corporate law. I, personally, was impressed with his knowledge and ability to think on his feet. Woody was noticably smart, quick thinking, level headed and most always available.
