This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Consider carefully

Mr Evans proved to be Le as competent a Ns less ethical than expected. He does not, based on my experience , abide by. Bar rules for attorneys, doesn’t keep clients informed and bills excessively , in violation.of bar rules and his own contracts . Refused to review invoices.

One of the Best Lawyers I have ever worked with

Joe is one of the best lawyers I have ever dealt with. Joe represented my case very well and drove the outcome of my matter to the most successful scenario and demonstrated not only professionalism and expertise but was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish during the entire process. I felt sa...fe and well represented under Joe’s legal representation and will most certainly go to Joe for any legal needs and would highly recommend him to anyone. Joe also demonstrated a high level of commitment, integrity, professionalism and courtesy that is rarely seen in the legal arena. I very much appreciated and happy with Joe’s legal assistance and representation.
