Things you need to know about Evan:

-He's well versed in Alaska family law and can give you realistic expectations for your case while also advocating for your best interest.
-He will not let the opposing party, or the judge, bully you into accepting something that isn't fairly in your best interest.
-He's thorough and detail-oriented. He will pay attention to the nuances of your case and won't allow things to fall through the cracks.
Now, my full review:
I found Evan in August 2023 after being blindsided by an unexpected custody modification motion that was based on lies and hurtful accusations. I am in Illinois. My originally custody agreement was created in Alaska, albeit my child had never been in Alaska. Her father filed there for dissolution and was willing to give me full custody so the divorce was uncontested and child custody was wrongfully established in the wrong state.
Evan responded to the motion to modify with a request to vacate the original custody order entirely- as it was wrongfully established. The judge denied our motion, but Evan was very confident that his ruling was wrong and offered the option of taking my case to the Supreme Court with a Petition for Review (similar to an appeal). After 10 months of fighting endless motions from the other side (all of which were filled with hurtful lies and damaging accusations), and having a hearing at the Supreme Court, my Petition for Review was granted and my original custody order in Alaska was vacated. My custody case is now in Illinois, the rightful jurisdiction.
Throughout this entire time, Evan recieved almost weekly emails from me. Many custody disputes occurred between the opposing party and I. Evan responded to me promptly- including addressing emergencies on the weekends AND over the Thanksgiving holiday. He always gave honest advice and was empathetic to my complex and nerve-wracking situation. Although I have absolutely no legal education, when I brought case law or hypotheticals to his attention he willingly listened and provided further insight. He never made me feel as though I was wasting his time.
When Evan spoke to witnesses and professional advocates who work with my child he was courteous, respectful, and took notes of their concerns. He treated my case as if he was fighting for his own child and understood all of the intricacies involved.
He did all of this, while never meeting me in person. I fought this entire case, with his help, from my home in Illinois. We interacted through the phone and email. Even so, as my contract with Evan comes to a close, I can say with full honesty that Evan is the best lawyer I ever could have asked for. He genuinely cares for his clients. The cases he takes on, he puts 110% effort into. He is honest, professional, well-spoken, and extremely educated in Alaska law. In the unfortunate situation that I need an AK lawyer again in the future, Evan is the ONLY person I'll go to. If any of my friends or family in Alaska need a lawyer, Evan is the ONLY person I'd recommend. If anyone reading this review is wondering if they need to give Evan a call- I'll end my review, right now, so you can start dialing his number. In the midst of a heartbreaking family law case, having Evan by your side will be the best choice you make.

My family used Evan in a disputed custody case. We were well taken care of throughout the entire process. Extremely responsive, and gave us realistic expectations. Evan treated our case as if he was fighting for his own children. He is a man of integrity, and true professionalism. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer to get us through this extremely difficult time. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will listen to you, restlessly research and pursue your case, then Evan is your man.

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Evan Barrickman: The Best Advocate in the Toughest Times ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️**
I can't express enough gratitude for Evan Barrickman, who guided me through one of the most challenging periods of my life. My divorce was not just difficult; it was a worst-case scenario with false accusations thrown at me over six times to try and sway custody. Despite the overwhelming odds, Evan never lost faith in me and provided unwavering support and expert guidance.
Evan's honesty and integrity stood out throughout the entire process. He never made empty promises and always gave me a realistic perspective, which was both comforting and crucial in navigating the legal complexities. His dedication and relentless pursuit of justice resulted in me obtaining 100% legal and physical custody for over a year. This period was invaluable, as it allowed me to give my children the peace and stability they needed.
In the end, we settled on a 50/50 co-parenting arrangement, and I am confident that without Evan's expertise, this favorable outcome wouldn't have been possible. He provided a strong foundation for my children and me to transition into a healthy co-parenting relationship.
If you need a lawyer who will fight for you with unwavering commitment and honesty, look no further than Evan Barrickman. He is not just a lawyer; he is an advocate and a beacon of hope in the darkest times. Thank you, Evan, for everything you've done for my family and me.
