Highly recommended!

I am very pleased with Evan's professionalism in handling my divorce. Even more so with the fact that Evan was consulting with me remotely. I was in the SF Bay Area and Evan is in SoCal. As such Evan was very proactive in keeping me updated on issues related to the case. He is also very prompt an...d responsive when I brought up questions and issues. I loved the fact that he will quote you a flat fee for the entire case at the beginning of the consultation. I felt his fees were VERY reasonable considering the level of service I got from him. Considering that we were working remotely, I also wanted to highlight how Evan's leverage of technology provided me a extra degree of convenient and service that other attorneys might not provide. Evan's client portal on his website provided both of us the means to exchange documents for my case and for non-urgent communications. This really fit in well as I'm sure we both don't always have the time to talk on the phone or drop packages off at the post office. The client portal serves as a general data and communications repository to review or revisit later. I feel this is a HUGE benefit to any client! Lastly Evan allowed me to video conference with him for certain milestone events in my case which I thought was a great gesture. George

Posted by Jacob | September 16, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Poor recollection, poor advocate, disorganized

I hired Evan for help with a custody dispute. He frequently forgot important relevant facts of the case. After one hearing I asked why he didn't bring up something I imagined to be pertinent and impactful, he acted like he had never heard the information before although I had emphasized the informati...on more than once. He laid out what was to be accomplished in each billing period, as he is fixed fee. He did not accomplish most things on schedule, but still expected his fee. He asked that I link him in to the Our Family Wizard communication thread with the child's mother. Then berated me for thinking he would ever have time to read any of it. It is a process to link someone in that I only figured out how to do because he asked me to. A rivision of child support was linked into the custody dispute. I just wanted to have a fair outcome since I had opened the case for custody violation. He made no effort to correct the judge when my income was erroneously taken to be twice real income (it happened the month they considered included all of my covid stimulus payments. So my support was based on the assumption I receive 3 covid stimulus payments every month in addition to normal wages.) His forgetfulness both in and out of court, failure to execute with punctuality, and failure to focus on what was important to me all resulted in a regrettable experience. I did end up with joint legal and physical custody enforced, but that was because there was no reason for the judge not to. The custody ruling was not due to Evans work. He did know how to file items and evidence with the court appropriately, which I hear not all attorneys do. But that is a low bar for what you pay. My childs mother is still relentles but my new attorney has handled all newly arising issues with ease for nearly 2 years now.

"I endorse this lawyer. Evan was recently opposing counsel on a family law matter. I found Evan to be extremely thorough and knowledgeable on the law. Evan was a strong advocate for his client's position, and made for a formidable opponent. However, even during times of litigation, Evan always remained solution focused and fair. I have had cases against many opposing counsels during my time as an attorney, and rarely have I come across someone as professional, energetic, and knowledgeable as Evan."
