Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Don't let the avvo rating fool you, Mike is a very experienced solid family law attorney. As a fellow attorney in the community, I have worked with Mike Evans as the opposing attorney in a divorce case. I find Mike to be professional, experienced, and a great advocate for his clients. Now that I am focusing on DUI cases, Mike is one of the top family law attorneys I think of when clients or business contacts need a divorce or custody attorney.
