Dead beat Attorney
If you want an attorney that drags out the divorce process then Evan is your guy! Divorce hearing was in October of 2023 and final divorce decree has yet to be filed with the court, despite a motion that was filed in court in January of 2024. The judge ordered it be filed by week ending January 12t...

Family Issue
Evan helped me with a family issue that occurred after my marriage. His calm even-keeled approach was second to none. I felt like he was my advocate and allowed me to have a voice. If you are having a family issue you are cheating yourself by not utilizing his services so you can have a voice...

Unprofessional
I had a bad experienced with Attroney Evan last year. I was really upset at how unprofessional he showed up to court. Messy looking, hair. His little girl was on the background of his video. Unprofessional. By the way, I prepared and filed my own paperwork to court. I served Defendant. I hired t...

Replied last April 25, 2022We certainly appreciate legitimate feedback and welcome conversation about how the Firm can improve service to all clients. We are somewhat concerned this review is not a review from an actual client. The Firm typically doesn't do appearance work where the Party filed their own paperwork, motions etc. The reviewer doesn't leave a name. Likewise, the reviewer appears to indicate that the hearing was done via video. Most Family Court hearings are conducted via video right now. If you saw my daughter, you would have seen my son as well as they are joined at the hip. Likewise, the video quality of Blue Jeans wouldn't really let one see if the hair is not quite GQ as it is not the greatest. Our Firm is always on the client's side and takes the duty of zealous advocacy seriously. This duty is balanced by the need to give client's honest and objective advice and not advance positions in Court that aren't supported by law or are unethical. Taking such positions would not serve the client's overall interest. These reasons and a number of others indicate that the review perhaps is not a review from an actual client. If the reviewer is an actual client, we would welcome a phone conversation with them to discuss any concerns they may have. We always aim to improve our client service and business practices and value legitimate feedback.

Custody
I hired Mr. Schwab to help with keeping my children safe. My case is not easy as I have high anxiety and my ex refuses to comply. He has helped at first with coming to an agreement. Then my ex took me back to court to make me look bad because he wasn’t doing so hot. Evan stuck by my side and fought ...
Evan D. Schwab's Lawyer Endorsements
"It is with great pleasure and confidence that I offer my endorsement for Evan Schwab as a family law attorney in Las Vegas. Evan is an upstanding member of the Las Vegas legal community who brings together compassion for his clients and a knowledge of how to navigate the confusing waters of family law. I know I can rely on Evan to give me a fair and honest answer whenever one of my clients has an issue with family law. Considering the wealth of options many clients have for credible family law attorneys, few could do better than having Evan as counsel in what is often an emotionally (and legally) difficult time."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Evan at a firm and know first hand how dedicated and detailed oriented this man is. Anyone looking for a family law attorney is in good hands with Evan."
"I endorse this lawyer. Evan Schwab is a no-nonsense litigator; the only things that matter are the client and the outcome."
"I endorse this lawyer. Evan and I have worked on several complex criminal cases together. He has always demonstrated dedication and skill far beyond excellent."
"Evan is an excellent attorney. He always goes the extra mile to fight for his clients' rights. I have no hesitation referring clients to Evan."
"Evan Schwab is all around a great attorney. He is intelligent, has a deep wealth of legal knowledge, and is truly committed to fighting on his clients behalf. I absolutely endorse this lawyer."
"Evan is a tireless and relentless advocate for his clients. I have never met someone so diligent in discharging his duties to his clients and the court, and I am always amazed at the wealth of knowledge Evan has about seemingly every area of law. I wouldn't work with him if I didn't think he was amongst the best attorneys I've ever met."
"Not only did I attend Drake Law School with Evan, we also moved to Las Vegas around the same time. Evan is a great friend, but he is also a beast litigator. Not only can he smear other attorneys in the courtroom, but he also knows motion practice well enough to keep his opponents spinning."
"Evan is a great attorney with significant experience in family law. Do not let Evan's soft approach fool you when you first meet him; this attorney packs a punch in the court room. Highly recommended."

Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.
Reprimanded issued in NV, 2020
updated on 10/13/2023This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
