Experience Coupled with Great Service

Rob was a delight to work with. Very knowledgeable in his field and does an excellent job of making you feel secure in your decisions. He assisted me with a child custody case, and his experience was invaluable. He clearly explained the process and necessary steps I needed to take. When I was uns...ure or hesitant he was quick to provide clarification and sound advice. Rob and his firm were willing to work with me and my financial constraints and I can't begin to explain how appreciative I was for them going the extra mile for me. I would highly recommend (and have) Rob to anyone that is seeking mediation services and/or custodial legal advice/services.

Posted by Ryan | February 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Very thorough and dedicated.

Rob Evans is a very talented and dedicated attorney. He came as a referral and from the very first phone call to the last physical appointment he never makes you feel like your case isn't as important as any other. The time and effort he puts into explaining his services and the law is extremely valu...able, something other attorneys forgot long ago. When my world was turned upside down with the start of a separation, divorce and child custody concerns, Rob went the extra mile to keep me informed, put at ease and made the process flow from start to finish. I'd highly recommend his services and can attest to that he will be there for you and your not just another client.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
