Best personal injury attorney out there

Walter Philmore "Chip" Evans represented me following a terrible injury. Chip met me, listened carefully, and in very easy-to-understand detail explained to me my options. Chip kept in contact with me throughout the ordeal - the entire case took over a year to resolve - and answered the many question...s I raised. Without a doubt in my mind, Chip got me the best possible settlement. He also gave me peace of mind. I'd highly recommend him to anyone who has suffered an injury.

Very responsive and personable

Chip helped with my daughters accident where she had a lot of PTSD. It was hard to prove any damages since it was more emotional, but Chip still helped us come to a settlement. He's extremely responsive on email, I was quite shocked at the speed of answers. He was fair and caring, as well as personab...le in all communication. Would recommend.

Thorough and helpful

Chip Evans and The Evans Law Firm were extremely helpful working with me on my car-accident case. He thoroughly explained the process, always responsive, and I felt confident with his representation every step of the way. Highly recommended.

Great experience

Chip was very helpful when we were working together. He was very open and honest with me about my options and gave me time to consider all options before asking me for a decision. Although the entire car wreck experience was horrible, I'm glad Chip helped me through the process.

Above and beyond

Mr Evans and his firm was hired by my family due to an accident I was involved in through no fault of my own. Mr Evans explained the procedures and processes as they occurred and ensured we understood and were taken care of during a lengthy recovery period. I would not hesitate to contact Mr Evans... and his firm should the need ever arise again. Thanks Chip!!!
