Custody Battle

Evan was very knowledgeable in what the custody battle entail. He kept us informed every step of the way he provided great advice. He connected with his clients and had empathy for what they were going through. If you have a custody battle, reach out to Mr. Wagner, you will not be disappointed. This ...battle has been going on for on for over a year and we couldn’t do this without him.

Posted by anonymous | March 31, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Excellent salesman, fails to deliver

I hired Evan after being accused of domestic violence by my ex-bf under ORC "causing another to fear they may be harmed" and having a TPO placed against me. At the time, I weighed 95lbs and was a shell of a human from living with an abusive man with a lengthy history in domestic and criminal court. I... had been assaulted and counter-filed for a CPO. I asked Evan to negotiate with opposing counsel but he failed to do so during the five weeks we waited for the hearing. 8:30am hearing. Evan spent the entire day with opposing counsel and her client, my ex. He did not explain things correctly resulting in an agreement I did not agree to. He told me he was going to speak to other attorneys to see if he had "fulfilled his fee agreement." AKA: dump me as a client-which is exactly what he did. He fired me as a client because he didn't want to finish doing the work. He only charged me $800 and appeared in court three times! I tried to pay him more, just to get him to finish the work, but he was ready to move on.

Amazinf lawyer

Hired Evan for a MM case without any previous criminal record. He was very helpful, professional, and understanding. Evan walked me through the whole process and explained every circumstance. The case was dismissed, but I always felt confident that I was with the best help.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
