Hands down! Great Lawyer!!!

I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer to handle my expungement case. He was very informative and did an excellent job communicating with me through the whole process which he handled very quickly. I would recommend Mr. Evans because he is upfront, honest, and dependable!

Excellent Legal Representation

In December of 2017 I was arrested and charged with DWI. We (my wife and I) were given Collin’s name on recommendation from a professional acquaintance. We met with Collin, discussed the case, got to know each other a little, and decided to hire him as my legal counsel. He told me early on it would b...e a marathon, not a sprint. He was right! We went through multiple resets where I was required to appear in court. We went through multiple prosecutors who were rotated through my case. While all of this was going on, Collin also handled my ALR case with the state. Most impressively, he got the judge hearing my ALR case to dismiss the license revocation on what I believe to be a due process violation. That was a BIG win! Over a year and a half (approximately) after my arrest and my failing a blood alcohol test, Collin got my case dismissed. Are you kidding me!!! Unbelievable, absolutely incredible. I will be honest, I had doubts, I wanted to throw in the towel on more than one occasion. Collin just kept saying, “Please trust me, please let me do what you hired me to do...to look out for your best interests.” I know I wasn’t the best client. I did do some things to help myself and potentially help my case, but Collin is the star of the show. I know every case can’t turn out like mine did. But I know if we had not hired Collin to represent me, mine would not have ended the way it did - with a dismissal! Collin was professional, very personable, and very attentive to questions or concerns we had about the legal process. I could not recommend him more highly.

This was a big win! I was so happy to get all the charges dropped for you despite the tough facts I had to work with, Scott. You were a great client to work for. Thank you for offering to help be a resource for future clients going through the process for the first time like you did. -Collin Evans

Amazing

Mr. Collins was a really amazing lawyer. He always answered all my questions no matter what time I called. If he didn't get a chance to he would call me back within the day. What made me pick him was the fact that he stayed with me in a 30 minute phone call explaining the expungement process without ...pay. That to me showed me that he really cares about helping people and it's more than just a lawyer that's in it for the money.

Non -Disclosure

Colin Evans was my lawyer 11-2018 I contacted him after seeing his webpage online . I needed my criminal record sealed (Non-disclosure) . I called his office talked to his wonderful assistant Gina ! She was very friendly, professional and new her stuff . She transferred me over directly to talk with... Mr. Colin Evans; he was also very professional, very nice. He asked me about myself, my future life plans and why I wanted my record sealed. Mr. Evans was very knowledgeable he had a answer to every question I asked. Colin was very straight forward and to the point. He told me that my case would move fast after he filed the paper work and it did! My Non-disclosure was completed in 2 weeks. I only went to court once with him he was great. He handled everything! I recommend Mr. Colin Evans and his team to anyone who needs a attorney ! He’s the best ! And he’s very handsome and well dressed (Nice to look at Ladies Lol) Thank you so much Colin and Gina for everything !!

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.
