Former Client

Evan Is not simply the Best of the Best! He is the only One who does what he does!! He went Above and Beyond to ensure that I got the best deal possible and got my original charge drop considerably along with getting other charges dropped in the case. He is just amazing at what he does. He knows th...e law and is well respected by judges. He is the absolute best Lawyer I have ever seen. He treats clients with tremendous respect and does everything in his power to defend his clients. I highly recommend Evan.
