Amazing lawyer!
Very professional! Very easy to get into contact with which is something that is important to me. I like the amount of face to face time that was offered. Very personable. Easy to understand as things were put into laymen terms. I felt like I was 100% taken care of as a client! Couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

Excellent Attorney with a Personal Touch
I decided I wanted an attorney with a personal touch, will answer my questions, understand the importance of this situation, and have a reasonable billing rate. That attorney was Evan Koslow. Evan had substantial family law experience and he even worked under some top tier family law attorney’s. We discussed custody issues in detail, he provided steps moving forward, and his retainer and billing rate was reasonable. Evan immediately went to work for me. His strategies ultimately led to the desired outcome that I sought at the beginning of this case. I really could not have asked for more. I appreciate everything he did for me and I have and will recommend him in the future for family law.

Great lawyer, very easy to work with
Evan is an amazing lawyer, and very professional. He was extremely easy to work with, and always responded quickly whenever I needed him. He was honest and upfront every step of the way. He always kept me informed of everything he was doing, and copied me on any and all correspondence with opposing counsel. I would absolutely recommend Evan to anyone in need of legal help.

Great exprience
Not a big fan of lawyers but Evan changed my mind :) Best thing is he is always available and easy to talk to. No secretary, he answers the phone himself. He is honest and puts the interest of his client first. Highly recommended!

Solid family law attorney
Evan was honest and showed compassion in my high conflict divorce. He was responsive to calls, emails or texts and took all my concerns to heart while giving reliable legal advice and representation. Me and my children can start afresh after an abusive situation largely because we had excellent guidance along the way. His support in the settlement agreement, divorce and post divorce was excellent! Highly recommended!

Great attorney, would work with again!
It was easy to work with Evan in my divorce case. He communicated very thoroughly, anytime I had a question he would reply promptly and I wouldn't have to wait. I think this was a huge factor. Eventhough there were some uncertainties with child custody early on, Evan worked great at the goals we had. Thanks

The Best
Evan is the best. I have hired him three times for three different situations. One of which could have been a messy divorce. He put me at ease with his confidence and was completely honest with me about potential outcomes. He settles things quickly, gets back to you within a day, and truly cares. He’s not the type to drag things on just to get billable hours. He is hands on.

The Lawyer YOU NEED!!!
My mother came across Evan in the court house. His then client, recommended him. She was right! He is excellent, caring and understanding! He is well respected in the Annapolis Court system which was very impressive to me. Evan always had my best interest at heart and provided great legal counsel - illustrating all possible outcomes. My case got continued several times through the pandemic and he never dropped the ball. Because of this, while going through my case, I recommended him to a close friend as well. If I ever have to go to court in the future, I will be sure to hire him again! All in all YOU NEED HIM!

Great lawyer
Hired Mr. Koslow in regards to a child custody matter. He was very knowledgeable about the whole process. Meeting with a lawyer can seem intimidating but Mr. Koslow was very easy to talk to. He was quick to return phone calls/emails and billing rate was reasonable. I would recommend his services and I would use him again if I ever have the need.

Two Words...Outstanding Representation!
My case just finished a few weeks ago, and I really had to sit and think long and hard about writing this review. I have worked with a lot of good attorneys, but Evan surpasses them all. His attention to detail, responsiveness, reasonableness, and motion practice are second to none. Evan not only works with you, but he gives you realistic expectations of what will happen in your particular case. Evan is a zealous advocate for his clients at all times. He is also an expert and shrewd negotiator. Our case was settled right before trial, and the outcome couldn't have been any better considering the circumstances of our case. In fact, I believe we came out on top. I would give Evan 10 stars out of five if this site would let me. Trust me when I say you are in very capable hands, and you also have an incredibly ethical lawyer who cares about each individual case from start to finish. Will hire again if needed.

MR
Evan Koslow is a true professional lawyer. I am very satisfied that he handled my "gray divorce" with compassion and sage advice. He always answered my emails or calls in a timely manner, even on weekends. His compensation was at a fair price. I have already recommended his services to others. I give him the highest recommendation of 5 stars.

Professional, dedicated, and committed
Mr. Koslow's professionalism and focus towards a client's legal needs serves as an example for all legal professionals to emulate. Evan provided me with thoughtful and candid legal advice and assistance which resulted in a positive outcome. I really appreciate the fact that Evan is a mediator and has expertise within our local county court system. Both qualities were critical for me and contributed to a timely and favorable result.

The Best Attorney
Evan is an amazing attorney. He is extremely responsive and communicates everything. His rates are reasonable and he is very fair and saves you money when he can- even though he is worth every penny! Evan fought hard for me and my children in our highly contested and complex divorce and custody case. He is truly a victims advocate and I could not have asked for better representation.

Excellent Family Lawyer
You need to hire Evan Koslow. I am so glad I found him. He is hands down the best. Aside from being extremely knowledgeable with the court system, the law and everything in between, he is a relatable and down to earth person. He was always on my side. He fought for everything that we wanted in my custody/divorce case and we “won”. His prices are very fair. Most importantly, he kept my mind at ease during a very stressful time. I always knew our next move. You cannot hire anyone better.
