Reliable and delivers

Evan Whitfield assisted me with a follow-up to my divorce settlement. He is excellent and easy to work with for two simple reasons: he speaks clearly and he delivers on exactly what he says he will. I was extremely satisfied with my experience and would quickly reach for his number again.

Evan is an exceptional lawyer with vast knowledge in law. He made my divorce as easy as possible considering the circumstances and difficulties that come along with such cases. He’s a great guy, I’d use him again in a heartbeat

Evan Whitfield | Strategic, Empathetic, & Trustworthy

I consulted Evan regarding my separation and divorce. As with many cases, mine was particularly complicated. It involved residences across multiple continents and states, and it comprised a sizeable marital/non-marital estate requiring forensic accounting. Ultimately, Evan assisted with securing t...he best local attorney, and he continues to be a trusted resource for me and my family. His family law expertise is matched only by his empathy. Divorce is about people, not possessions. Evan cares about protecting both, but as a husband and father himself, he demonstrates great care for the process and genuine empathy for the people. Divorce is a traumatic life event, but my children and I are grateful for Evan...for the skill and empathy he applied as a trusted consultant. Please don't enter into divorce without considering Evan Whitfield for your legal representation.

Outstanding Attorney

Evan has represented me both during the divorce process and with post-decree matters in complex litigation. He is very thorough and detail oriented. His unique insight into both the specific circumstances and the law is reflected in his in-depth writing of Motions and Responses and his strong prese...ntations before the judge. Evan listens and finds solutions that are best for the family. When prompt action is needed, he is very responsive and proactive. Our family is forever grateful to him for his expertise and caring during this especially difficult process. He is an exceptional attorney.

Outstanding Shrewd Negotiator

Evan was able to understand the delicate balance of financial and parenting issues surrounding my case. He was no nonsense and very shrewd in negotiating an outstanding financial settlement while protecting my non-marital assets. Evan was available around the clock when urgent parenting issues cam...e up on the weekend. Outstanding courtroom presence.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Evan is a good litigator and can be aggressive when prudent. Evan's clients appreciate his ability to be thoughtful and supportive and to effectively negotiate matters out of court when the opportunity presents itself. Evan has insight that most lawyers do not when it comes to representing athletes as he himself was a former Olympian and understands the rigors and demand of professional sports figures. Most importantly, Even operates with integrity and is always exploring the best outcomes for his clients and their children. I highly endorse Evan and his practice."
