The Best Divorce Attorney :)

Hiring Attorney Dan Evans to represent me in my divorce was one of the best decisions I've made. Dan is very organized and thorough. He remembered everything I told him pertaining to my case, leading up to the trial. Dan was very prompt in returning phone calls and forwards information pertaining to... my case as soon as he gets it. Dan was exceptional in court. He cares about his clients and I now consider him a friend. Thank you Dan, for helping me get my life back!

Exceptional & Genuine

Working with Dan was such a great experience. He has exceptional focus and attention to detail. We hired Dan for legal advice about a municipal issue, and hiring Dan enabled us to accomplish what we set out to do. Additionally Dan was quick to respond and clear and straightforward about his rates.... We felt we received a lot of value for our dollar. We highly recommend Dan for your legal needs. Thanks Dan!

Sharp in court

Attorney Evans represented me in a difficult divorce. He did a great job in proving my ex-spouse's real income (he was self employed) and getting me the support I needed. He was very convincing to the judge and really did a good job in questioning witnesses, including my ex. He was also very respo...nsive to my calls and emails when I had questions about my case.

Avvo Rating

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.
