This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Always clear and comprehensive

I consulted with Evan on a number of items including insurance coverage after a serious car accident. Every time I engaged him for service, he took the time to understand the full situation. Once he understood my questions and issues, he addressed them above and beyond my expectations. I will contin...ue to consult with him for all of my future legal issues, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire an attorney dedicated to clarifying complicated legal matters.

Best Attorney in the area

Incredible lawyer and attorney. My experience with Evan was out of this world. Could not imagine working with anybody else. On a personal level felt like a friend I have known my whole life. On a professional level very doo diligent and efficient, always presented information in an effective way tha...t someone without knowledge of law could understand and grasp clearly. He makes the process of injury go very smoothly and is understanding of the experience you are having that leads you to him emotionally and logically. Presented the facts accordingly and will give you control of a situation that might feel out of control. I am so grateful to have found him and highly recommend to seek Evan out for help and assistance.

Mr.

Evan was recommended to us by an old friend who knew Evan quite well. We had a large claim against a major insurance company, and Evan navigated the whole process with stellar performance, professionalism, accuracy and, all along the way, with high deference for the laws governing our claim. Now,... we join the many who highly recommend the Law Office of Evan W. Walker.

Amazing

Unfortunately, I had suffered an injury caused by being on the wrong side of a car accident. I had been looking around at major firms to represent me and was either met with automatic replies or days of waiting for a response. Evan Walker had immediately replied with a phone call and listened to my s...tory. He was extremely empathetic and treated me like an actual human instead of a case. During the whole process, Evan was continually checking in on me to update and explain complicated terms and processes in ways that anyone could easily understand. He also checked in on my health as I had been dealing with recovering from this injury and still am. It seemed that was just as important to him as the actual case was. You can tell Evan is not only an attorney but someone who really cares about the people he represents. Ultimately, he helped me reach my desired settlement in a timely manner. I felt extremely comfortable working with him and I honestly could not recommend him enough!

Good Quick Consultation

If you've done the many cold-calls like I have this week then you know to get free advice for 5 minutes from a random lawyer is gold. I felt Evan was honest and straight forward and Im grateful for the advice.

"Very few attorneys possess the knowledge and vigor that Mr. Walker demonstrates on a daily basis in his practice. Due to his background of having worked for the "other side" for many years, and in other jurisdictions, besides California I would place Mr. Walker in the upper echelon of plaintiff's trial attorneys in San Diego. I strongly endorse this lawyer and would trust him with my own matters if the need were to arise."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
