Life Changing!

Eversole Law firm did a great job. They kept me informed and really worked hard on my case. It took some time, but because of Steven and Adam, the judge ruled in my favor. And as a result, my life is better now thanks to the Eversole Law Firm. I am truly thankful.

Thank you. We try to achieve success in every case. Unfortunately that's not always possible depending on the case and the facts. We are very happy we were able to help you win this matter. Thank you again!

Very good experience

I found Mr. Eversole and his staff to be wonderful to work with. They kept me up to date beyond my previous experience with other lawyers, and worked hard to keep us informed of every aspect of our case. They ultimately helped me through a tough situation and didn't look at me as a client, or the p...erson that pays them. I felt they truly looked at me as a person, and that made me want to write this review. Mr. Eversole has been around and knows his stuff and they worked hard on my case. I received precise monthly billing and they always did what they promised me. They fought hard and like it was personal. I trust Steve Eversole and his firm to take care of my more important business.

Very happy with results

Steven worked very hard for me and was able to accomplish great results. I wouldn't be where I am today without his help. I don't believe they could have done a better job. I hired them on a tough case and they delivered on what they promise.

I am delighted with the result of my case

Steven is a great listener, works incredibly hard, and brings an energy that is hard to match. He treated me with the utmost respect and answered all of my questions. His flat fee is also fair based on the other estimates I received. He was very detailed and took his time to make sure I understood ev...ery step of the process. Finally, he fought hard, and I am delighted with the result of my case.

Horrible

Very hard to get ahold of. Gives misleading information and looks for the easy way out. First court appearance no one showed up but me. Second court appearance his attorney he sent was 45 min late and I personally asked for Steven eversole to be there. The lawyer he sent was completely unprepared and... certainly was not vested In my case. it was my life and very important to me and he let me diwn big time. Right after the 2nd court date I fired him and found a better lawyer. I called and asked for some of my money back because of the lack of care and performance of his practice. Steven to me "that's not going to happen". I wish I felt comfortable leaving my name and number so if your considering eversole law you could call me and I could let you know the truth about this law firm. Stay clear of eversole law, they will take your money and leave you in a worse place then you started.
