Mike did a great job!

From consultation to the dismissal of my case, Mike did exactly what he said he would do. From answering emails on weekends or at 10 at night, to informing me of every step, Mike was there for me. I realize that I was not His only client during the process, however, He made me feel as though I was. I...f you need an attorney with an open mind, and one that will do all it takes to get you the outcome you deserve, and looks at everything with detail; choose Michael Evans.

I would recommend him to anyone

Mike Evans was amazing to work with! He fought hard for me and took time to actually explain what was going on. He was also responsible with all the dates and always made sure that I understood what I had to do and when I had to do it. Also, he always regarded my case seriously and I could tell he ac...tually cared about helping me and my case. I would recommend him to anyone because he always make sure to take you seriously and always cares about what you want to do in the case as well.

"Swift, prompt, and effective" Mike handled my H.O.A issues. Thanks!

My H.O.A was bullying me and causing great stress to my life. I contacted Mike and his law firm. Immediately they began working on the case. My pressure was alleviated when the H.O.A apologized and stopped their antics because Mike intervened. He showed great empathy for me and represented me with pa...ssion and commitment. Mike is highly competent, honest, and fights for those that are unable to fight for themselves. It's so comforting knowing Mike and his law firm have my back!

Problem solved

I recently had a HOA legal problem that I felt I needed expert representation with. Although I had never met, or used Michael’s services in the past, I called his office and explained my problem….Michael almost immediately called me back….we discussed a course of action….Michael proceeded on my behal...f…and my problem was solved within days. This was something I had tried for months to resolve personally, to no avail. Be assured that if I ever have a legal problem within Michael’s area of expertise, he will be the first person I call. I would highly recommend The Evans Law firm…They are through, expert, and honest.

HOA Help

I needed help dealing with my HOA who wasn't following the rules under CCOIA when administering violation notices and assessing fees. Mr. Evans proved to be very knowledgeable about HOA law and represented my case to the HOA with an amicable approach. When it was evident that the HOA wasn't interes...ted in settling amicably, Mr. Evans did a fantastic job representing me and my case. He did not back down and in the end we were able to settle my case out of court. I would highly recommend Mr. Evans.
