Mrs. Evans was extremely kind and knowledgeable about all things pertaining to estate planning and wills/living wills. Despite my many questions, she took the time to carefully answer all of them and asked me throughout the process if I understood everything and was comfortable with it.
She walked my wife and I through all the details of leaving our estate behind in a simple, yet effective manner. I feel very confident now that if I were to leave this world unexpectedly, my belongings and gifts will be dispensed and divided as I wish them to be. I no longer have to worry about hurt feelings with my family and arguments from my kids. She even walked us through last wishes concerning medical care and power of attorney. I can't believe what a weight it is that has been lifted off my shoulders - all because I know my things are in order now!
The office is cozy and convenient as well. It does not have a cold law office feel. Mrs. Evans is very down to earth and I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who is looking to organize their estates and get their wills together. Take it from me - you'll be glad you did!
Those words summarize the estate planning support provided by Rebecca Evans in preparing my Will, Power of Attorney, and other documents. In my opinion, she's a first-rate attorney who sets the bar in client service. (I say that because I've had occasion to use the services of lawyers before, and, in comparison, the levels of professionalism and personalized support provided by Ms. Evans are unmatched.) I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, engaged, patient, and detail-oriented legal advocate. So importantly, she took the time to understand my particular goals, make recommendations, and fully explain and clarify my every concern, my every question. Nothing was left to chance. Added to that, the final documents were signature-ready within a week's time. Quite simply, I can't recommend Ms. Evans highly enough--She's the best of the best.
I enjoy helping individuals and families plan out their estate plan. This can include drafting a will, a trust, an advanced medical directive, and/or a power of attorney. I sit down with clients to make sure that they understand everything that I draft for them and I want to make sure that their desires are met throughout the process. I believe in communication throughout the process.

Can we add a few more "stars" here?
Wow!!! I read every single "review" herein and am so jealous that each and every one of them "stole" my feelings before I could enumerate them. Each covered in detail the exact feelings and joy I felt utilizing the professional services of Rebecca and her most qualified Staff, including her Mom who is also an attorney and was a witness to the signing of all my documents. My daughter Linda and I "discovered" Rebecca about two weeks ago and today we signed my Trust, Medical Directive, Will and Power of Attorney so this now 91-year old Retired Marine will be all set to join the Marine Detachment that Guards Heavens Scenes when the time is ready. She was so personal, human, nice, intelligent and understanding--we were lucky to find her when my Son-in-Law Pete found her on the internet and we went no further! I would recommend this Law Firm run by Becky to ANY and ALL. Cannot heap enough praise on them--and my daughter, who can speak for herself, will certainly echo my praise, thanks and appreciation for her talented legal accomplishments. Gerald F. (Jerry) Merna, Marine Mustang, Retired.

Great Estate Planning Lawyer!
My husband and I were very happy working with Becky on our Estate Planning documents. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and professional. We have 2 young kids and have been saying for years that we need to get our estate in order. Becky was fast to respond and she walked us though the process and made everything super clear. We were terrible about responding to her but she was always patient and responded to us right away. Now that everything has been finalized, we feel great! Would definitely recommend her for your estate planning needs!

Estate Planning
My wife and I wanted to update our overall estate planning since both our sons were now adults and wanted to make sure that at the time of our death that the process for both our sons was clear and that they had all the documents that they might require. When we met with Becky the first time she answered all our questions, provided estate planning options that we had not thought of and ensured that we clearly understood the draft documents she would provide after our meeting. Within a day we had received the documents and she spelled out in detail what each document represented and some options on language should we decide use them. We completed signing the documents today that went extremely smoothly. Bottom line is that we would recommend Becky to anyone desiring to revamp their wills, trust and power of attorney's or start from ground zero. We were very pleased and will continue to use her services in the future.

Outstanding, professional and very knowledgeable! Highly recommend!
You will not be disappointed with Rebecca's professional and personal services. She listened to my needs and goals making the process of preparing my Will and other related documents seamless, efficient and not so scary. I went to Rebecca to review my father's probate paperwork and she answered all my questions plus some. When preparing my paperwork she asked questions that I would not even consider. She is thorough, organized and knowledgeable. Her kind and patient demeanor will make you feel comfortable and valued. I recommend her highly for anyone looking for help in estate planning. Thank you Rebecca!

Ms. Evans is the attorney you need
My spouse and I needed an updated estate plan. As an attorney myself, I knew we wanted someone who was not only attentive to detail but who also was responsive to the needs of a couple who had gone through a second marriage and were interested in protecting interests for all parties. She is engaging, thorough, and up to date on the law. Additionally, she included us in the process and never failed to identify where we needed to pay greater attention. Thank you for making the process as painless as possible. Thank you for being there when we needed you. We could not recommend you more. Thank you.

Highly recommended for your estate planning needs
I recognized for quite some time that I needed to have a will, medical and financial power of attorney, and trust set up so that the process of settling my estate will be made as easy as possible for my family and heirs, but trying to find an attorney I felt I could trust had been a drawback to completing this process. I was fortunate to learn of Rebecca Evans's law practice and her specialties in exactly these areas. I was pleased with my initial consultation, in which she asked me about my personal and financial situation, walked me through the processes available under Virginia law and explained the options open to me, and made good recommendations based on my needs. I was impressed with her extensive knowledge and pleasant demeanor, and I asked her to draw up the documents I required. She was very prompt in doing so and in providing the drafts to me for my review, she answered all my questions courteously and professionally, and she made changes where necessary based on our subsequent discussion. I later decided to make additional changes, and again, she was prompt in doing so. She also recommended that I ensure that I updated my beneficiary forms for bank accounts, insurance policies, and investments, which I might otherwise have overlooked, so that everything flows through the trust as I intended. The entire process went very smootly, from initial discussions through final witnessing and signature, and Rebecca was always available to clarify any questions or concerns that arose. I feel confident that my executor/trustee will be in good hands when the time comes to settle my estate, based on the excellent work Rebecca did for me. I can't understate the need for everyone to find a good attorney to handle this process, as you'll want to ensure that your estate can be settled expeditiously, with property and possessions going to those family and other loved ones that you intend. Rebecca Evans is exactly the person I needed to handle this, and I highly recommend her for whatever estate needs you might have.

Outstanding Guidance Through a Stressful Estate Plan

My wife and I are immensely grateful for Becky's help with updating our wills. We had a unique codicil in our earlier will that was unworkable under current law. Becky clearly has deep expertise in this area and patiently explained our options, helping us to craft a workable and satisfying solution. More than that, Becky was a delight to work with. She was recommended to us and we highly recommend her to others.
