Evan Scott Braunstein

I want to thank Evan for helping me at one of the toughest times in my life. What drew me to Evan was a picture he had on his page of his beautiful son, right then, I knew that he would feel my plight. The mother of my child was lying on me to take away my fatherly rights. It was a mind boggling and hurtful situation to go through. I would NOT wish for any loving father to experience what I went through with this woman. With Evan's guidance and expertise, he laid out the plan on how to move forward to present my case. I totally put all my trust in Evan and in the end, I didn't even have to go to court. With the way Evan presented my case, she agreed on 50/50 custody and everything we asked for. I couldn't believe it!!! Court papers are signed and rules are in effect. My life has totally changed for the better, now I can focus on bettering myself, health, career and foremost my 8 year old son! I wanna post this comment on all the Los Angeles Lawyer Review sites, you deserve it. Thank you for all the hard work and your focus! God Bless!!!

Evan surpassed all my expectations. My best attorney experience to date. He was knowledgeable,professional and understanding in his handling of my prenuptial agreement.

Evan made sure the important outcomes of my divorce were kept in perspective. Decency, avoiding a long drawn out trial, and respect. All of these aspects were well taken care of. He even made sure that the divorce proceedings were not unfair while I was deployed for 8 months. I can't thank Evan enough for turning a bad situation into a positive outcome.

Evan was great, he took the time to meticulously go through the proposal and walk me through everything. He made sure that I understood all the implications and complexities involved.

I hired Evan after my divorce had been final but my ex-husband decided to take me back to court and open it all up again. We had done collaborative the first time, so this was our first time in court. Evan did an excellent job preparing me for court - which I was terrified of - and supporting me through the process. He was outstanding in the courtroom - we won everything that day. Due to situations beyond our control - an modified agreement was not reached for another 2 years. Even though the process was long and drawn out, Evan did his job well and kept the eye on the ball. He pushed when appropriate and gave in when appropriate. He is honest, fair and clear to work with - even when things were frustrating. I trusted him. He helped me see the big picture and focus on what was important. I've recommended Evan to two other friends who have used him and loved him. He is a fantastic attorney. Choose him and you WILL be thankful.

As a recent client of Evan Braunstein, I found him to be honest, loyal and fair. Throughout the divorce process, he provided me with hope and relief, creating a sense of calm and order through a confusing, painful time (divorce). He made himself available, especially when it really counted. He provided clarity and recommended alternative options that I had not considered or even thought of – for my benefit and the benefit of my children. Sometimes, as sure as I was “right” about a request that I had, he would show me that it may not be in my best interest. He also stepped outside of his comfort zone a few times, when I needed him to do so. I am much happier now that the divorce is behind me - and I have him to thank for that.

I just got off the phone with ESB and I can't believe how smart, professional, and honest this attorney is!! My case is a bit different with a lot of non-family law issues in it, and Braunstein was so clear and nice. He even referred me to another legal office that in his opinion will be more capable of handling all the matters related to the divorce. How honest and trustworthy of him! Most attorneys would have milked it, as an opportunity to rip me off, right?! Thank you Braunstein! Very impressive indeed! ~ AnneD.

I was referred to Evan by a friend during a very difficult time in my life. After the initial consultation when I signed a representation agreement I felt relief for the first time in weeks. The divorce process certainly took much longer than I possibly could have anticipated, in no small part due to lack of cooperation by the other party. Although at times I had wished that the things would move along at a more rapid pace, now that the divorce is final, I realize that I couldn't have been represented by a better attorney than Evan. I really liked the fixed fee structure as well as the online collaboration software which Evan uses to communicate and upload/download documents.

It is impossible to quantify what Evan has done for me and my family. After years of turmoil, Evan navigated some very sensitive situations, always keeping my family's best interests at heart. Evan delivered great results in an incredibly efficient and reasonable manner. My divorce and child custody case had dragged on for years, and in some ways, will always be contentious. After working with a highly reputable, expensive firm for years, with mediocre results and a lot of drama, I thought the worst was behind us. However, what should have been a simple follow-on matter became a nightmare. I found Evan through this site, and after some brief communications and one face to face meeting, I felt calmer and confident. Even in crisis, I felt confident in my choice. Evan worked with us through one of the most difficult and challenging times in our lives, and I have no doubt we are healing on the other side because of him. Evan was ALWAYS communicative and attentive. He handled matters personally, and personably. He was up front about his services, his fees, and always gave me options to aid in my own case. Evan uses technology securely to benefit the client and efficiently manage communications. I had all my documents and communications at my fingertips, which was handy on more than one emergency occasion. I never had anything like that with my previous high co$t firm. He doesn't sugar coat things, and explained possible scenarios and options which made me feel prepared. Above it all, he kept, not only my best interests but my children's, at heart, because he knows their best interests are in my heart. Evan fought for my children and their well being. I have no doubt should we ever need his services again that he would do so tirelessly again. I trust Evan implicitly in family law matters, now and always.

My experience with Mr. Braunstein was wonderful given the circumstances (divorce/complex custody issues). Mr. Braunstein provided thoughtful and out-of-the-box suggestions to help resolve some of our most complex issues. His suggestions confirmed that he wasn’t just giving “legal advice” but advice that was in the best interest of our children from the standpoint of the present and THEIR future – which is what will be remnant in the years to come when the divorce has long been settled. Mr. Braunstein was very fair, practical and went above and beyond to follow-up to ensure that all bases were covered. He always made me feel as if he genuinely cared and had our best interest at heart. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Braunstein.

I called Evan at 7 am, he picked up. I called him THAT SAME day at 11pm, he picked up. Case close.

Divorce is really hard. I had expected the legal part to be a nightmare. And it simply wasn't. And I fully credit Evan for this. From our first meeting he addressed all my concerns with precise information. He explained everything upfront. And although little about a divorce is easy to swallow... at least there were zero surprises. And I was prepared for the realities of the process and its potential outcomes. He was the anti-stereotype. He was attentive, genuine, and worked very hard for my interests. He was fair, honest, and reliable at every step of my divorce. He was kind and compassionate in a hard time - and took the stress out of what could have been a terribly confusing and anxiety ridden legal battle. Documents and communications were clear, regular, and user friendly. Calls and questions were attended to personally within a day, by him, not an assistant. He was flexible with my complicated parenting and work schedule. And far from drag his feet he pushed my case through much quicker than I had expected. His fee structure removed and enormous amount of anxiety. It was so straightforward and so fair. And I suspect it was far less than most would pay for the top notch service he provides. In addition to the legal support, I felt like Evan really cared about me and about my children and our future. At the risk of sounding cheesy, I was really comforted by this, in a time when comfort was crucial. He was not old and callous and jaded, and that mattered to me. Also, he is quite funny and personable, so if you want a cold, businesslike, stereotypical lawyer he is not your guy. I always joke that I will use him for my next divorce. My boyfriend does not think it is funny... but that is how much I appreciated his experienced support. God willing there will never be one... but if there is... Id definitely know where to go.

I was aware that the circumstances surrounding my divorce were kind of particular, but after meeting with three different family attorneys from prominent firms in Los Angeles, I was left feeling discouraged and unsure of what to do. It wasn’t until my sister found Evan on Avvo that I decided to contact another family law attorney. Upon my initial conversation with Evan, I had more understanding of the divorce and custody process than I had in my three previous consultations. Evan not only informed me of the various, possible outcomes of my somewhat unusual case, but he thoroughly explained what each phase of the divorce would entail. Not only was I continuously updated with the status of my case, but Evan provided me with sound council and was always available to address my concerns. Although, I wasn’t sure of what the outcome of my case would be, Evan’s thorough knowledge of family law, kept me feeling confident throughout the entire duration of my divorce. He genuinely cared about my case and dedicated a lot of attention to the various details. My divorce process was smoother than I could ever have imagined and Evan’s level of service was outstanding, to say the least. His level of expertise, along with his amazing work ethic, efficient methods of communication and his conveniently fixed rate, all surpassed my highest expectations. I am very fortunate to have found him. I would not recommend anyone other than Evan Braunstein to handle a family law case.

If you want a divorce process as painless as possible, hire Evan. He's smart, hard working, responsive (I was able to call him off hours), honest, and extremely knowledgeable. Fixed rate fees are also a plus. You will be well taken care of by Evan.

I endorse this lawyer's work. Evan is the guy that I will recommend to everybody. He treats clients the way that makes us all proud.
