PROFESSIONALISM at its BEST!!!

You can’t go wrong here. The professional team at the Evans Firm delivers fair, honest and to the point results. There isn’t in any way I could have got through the legal process without them. The team understood and communicated the entire process to my anxiety to a minimum. If you are looking for a... Firm that meets your needs and has an excellent team of attorneys and staff, call the Evans Firm immediately.

I recommend Michael Evans

Michael Evans was friendly yet very professional. I was comfortable talking to him about any issue. He listened, thoroughly discussed my options, and gave solid recommendations on how to proceed. His expertise was valuable. He was able to negotiate with the DA to reduce the plea-deal even further..., and still avoid any trial. His costs were reasonable (compared to others we contacted), and when we did not use all of the retainer he refunded us the difference. I felt he was very fair. I am happy that I selected Michael, and recommend him to others who need a criminal lawyer.

I rarely write reviews...BUT

My experience with securing the services of an attorney is significant; Corporate, Real estate; Family, PI etc. This is one of several times I have hired an attorney for criminal purposes. I wish all of the venues in which I’ve employed layers could meet the following. I am COMPLETELY satisfied: f...irst and foremost a quality empathetic human being! Furthermore, reasonable billing rates, reasonable billing practices (a major risk-not here), and moreover, excellent communication, excellent execution and a passion that should held by all layers for the law and a belief in what the law that once was and could be IF we ALL vote, and vote wisely against the trend of law vs. the middle class.

"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.
