Very Good Elder Law attorney

We hired Evan a few years ago as our mother was about to go from Assisted Living to a nursing facility in Florida. We do not live in Florida and needed someone we could count on long-distance (or whenever trips to Fla. were possible) and a lawyer who was very familiar with Florida elder law. We wer...e very pleased with Evan's guidance and assistance. His office staff was also extremely helpful to us and our family in a very stressful time. Thank you, Evan.

OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY!!

Mr. Turk helped me address how to protect my assets and properly estate plan, in addition to my numerous questions on different types of trusts. He was patient, thorough, informed, quite knowledgeable and expeditious. I would HIGHLY recommend him to my family, friends and neighbors. He is terrific!...

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Turk has been instrumental in obtaining benefits for my parents and allowing them to afford to stay in their own home. His asset protection strategy was unique and effective. I sleep better knowing that my parents have a plan for today and a plan for tomorrow.

Extremely helpful!

Evan Turk was hired to help plan for my grandmother, who was 96 years old at the time. He made a medical and financial plan for her and suggested filing for the Veteran's benefit. Because of his suggestion, she now receives a monthly stipend even though her husband (who served decades ago) has been... dead for over 30 years. Her expenses were becoming overwhelming before we found Evan Turk, but are now manageable due to his expertise.

Very Helpful

Evan Turk has been able to help our family with a strategic plan and helped my parents and my mother-in-law with the VA aid and attendance benefits process. We highly recommend him for his expertise.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
