This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Attorney!!!

Mr. Evans represented me in a social security disability case. He was awesome from start to finish. His staff helped me file the application. He let me know what was going on every step of the way. He got all of my medical records and went through them with me to make sure nothing was missing. H...e prepared me for every aspect of the hearing. He went through sample questions so I would know what to expect and would be ready for the questions from Mr. Evans, the judge, and anyone else. Mr. Evans also met with my family members to determine who would be a good witness on my behalf and prepared her for the hearing as well. Once the judge ruled in my favor, Mr. Evans and his staff continued to contact social security as needed until I received all of my past due benefits. I can not express how thankful I am to Mr. Evans for all of the hard work and hand holding he put into my case and making sure nothing was missed and that I received the social security benefits I was owed.

he did me so wrong,let things just pass, when time was of the essence.

I made a mistake and needed a attorney to clean it up, my neck was broken and my world was at the lowest point and I told him how to do what needed to be done on 2 cases, I turned down 50k before i hired him and the last 3 meetings he wanted me t o accept 2.5k, like two used car salesman wo...rking me over. time was of the essence was my main concern and it took him 8 months to just serve the person leading me on. 2 times i could of taken control of the one tort, and he talked me out and now i have nothing, almost 3 years he still had not filed or served disclosure. He quit 2 days before court and i had to play attorney, he showed up and in front of the judge he said he would mail me the rest of my records and I had to pay another 500 for another court appearance and I never received any of the records.. and I won only a small portion with out any disclosure. so now i am broke disabled the statuette of limitations on a bad injury claim that happened 7/5/09 i found no evidence he even contacted the Dr. or asked my witness and in late i called to try to get things moving on it and give them good news and they had done nothing and said i told them to close the case. you have been warned, it gets better, so I would really recommend his great abilities and fast service. and i finally found a malpractice attorney that is swamped but cannot help but take the easy case. I give him 5 stars. 8 months met with him 9/22/09 and it was 5/10 when defendant was served. Please forgive my poor grammar , stress brings out the best of me. and no good deed goes unpunished, I wanted to be an attorney when i was young even got accepted to Willamette, and just new i could not deal with the scum of the clients, and the lies. well, good luck if your looking for a attorney this one is the one I would of eaten in court if i would of finished schooling I paid every bill i got. and lived in a old dairy barn, bed ridden for the first 9 months until surgery , then had a chance to get my property back and they told me no no no , so I look forward to seeing him again , on the other side with a real attorney taking my, side..... but this is just my opinion, and dates may not be exact . I told him the last attorney lost his ore bar for a lot less . I am at the lowest part of my life. thanks pete i cannot even afford to go to a doctor. pay for heat. or even cook for myself for the last 3 years.1995 i hired a attorney for the exact type of case. 2 days and everything was done and i had my home back.told them how she did it and in 1995 the attorney told me how and I told his team......8 months later. I was ruined by that time....

Best lawyer in Portland

When I first met with Mr. Evans I had already made up my mind that all lawyers were crooks. He completely changed that sterotype for me. Mr. Evans was very helpful and understanding. Walked me through everything and never once did I think of him as a person only put to get my money. He is very knowle...dgeable and also in tune with reality. Anybody looking for a attorney, I would highly recommend meeting with Mr. Evans first.

Great Experience Great Work Very Knowledgable

Mr. Evans was great. He walked us through the entire system. He contacted us to let us know when something was happening on our case. He knew the Administrative Law Judges very well and he knew what it took to win.

Watch out for fraud and disception

We had several major issues with him. We did not hear from him from the day we hired him for nearly two years until the work day before the hearing. First of all he did not submit the medical records we gave him to social security which ensured us waiting 2 years for a Federal hearing and more pay fo...r himself. We fired him and he did not give the file to the new lawyer as we requested. Under duress my husband husband had to hire him back the day of the hearing, because with him withholding the file we couldn't bring on someone else and my husband's disabilities left him unable to represent himself. We discovered that he lied under oath to the social security judge about the hours worked after we hired him hoping to get greater amount of pay. We can prove he lied because he claimed he had hours of phone calls that we can prove with phone records never happened. Somehow when it was over he did maybe 5 hours worth of work and collected about $7,000 in pay. We have ask social security and the state bar to review the entire situation.
