Horrible experience
I hired James Evans and his firm to represent me in my case... After they got their retainer all they did was pretty much push paper... They went through an awful amount of money and nothing moved forward on my case for over 8 months.... After speaking to multiple other lawyers about my case (to find...

Poorly Drafted Order
Mr Evans and his staff drafted an expensive final order that is filled with contradictions, and will essentially land me back in court in order to clarify all the ambiguity.

What A Joke
Jimmy Evans talks a good game but in the end he is a joke. The support/legal staff at Evans and Peeks are a joke. They lost almost $12,000.00 of subpoenaed documents. They boxed up my original documents and sent them to opposing council (seriously). I fired Jimmy after 8 months and about $20,...
I've searched my records, and I don't find any client with this name. Documents received in our office are immediately scanned and kept electronically. It is my policy to never keep originals, as they are always returned to the client.
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Jimmy for several years. His ability to think strategically is unparalleled."
"I endorse this lawyer. Very responsive and knowledgeable. Attorney Evans was a pleasure to deal with and a real advocate for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jimmy is a tough opposing counsel. He practices family law the way a Russian chess master plays chess: He's always a few steps ahead of his opponent."
"I have known Jimmy for many years. He is very professional and a highly skilled family law attorney."
"Jimmy is a great advocate for his client. I highly recommend him. I have had the opportunity to see him in the courtroom and his trial skills are impressive."
"I have co-counseled with Jimmy in a number of cases, as well as been on the opposite side as Jimmy in cases. I have always been impressed with his creativity, advocacy for his clients and hard work. I endorse this attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer without equivocation. Jimmy has many qualities that distinguish him as a fine family law/divorce attorney. That being said, three jump to mind immediately. First, Jimmy is a man of his word. In a field that is often, by its nature, rife with anxiety, fear, and frustration, being able to trust another attorney's word has a tremendous impact on a client's ability to manage their emotions, the attorney' ability to remain focused on the legal issues, and finally, the overall cost of the suit. Secondly, Jimmy is reasonable, ever conducting "cost benefit analyses" of courses of action in suit and whether those courses of action lead to the best results with the least damage. And finally, Jimmy isn't afraid of a fight. I have found that most clients don't want to engage in heavy litigation, but do want to know that if they have to go to war, their guy knows how to throw punches. Jimmy can pack a wallop when needed."
