I had a great experience with everyone I always got my questions answered quickly thank you

I hired Evan ‘s family law group to represent me during my divorce they made the process easy and we’re very professional communicated with me regularly. I would highly recommend Evan family law

I used Jimmy and Avery for my divorce. Avery is so professional and got me everything that I needed. She gently held my hand through the process and was so thorough and reassuring. I would not have made it through my divorce emotionally if it were not for Avery. She is amazing in every single way and I will be referring people to her for the rest of my life. She is amazing. Jimmy also helped me with mediation and he knocked it out of the park. He is so professional and direct. Nicole and everyone else in their office made me feel comfortable and welcome. I am forever blessed by and thankful for Evans family law firm!!!

Working with the Evans Family Law Group made a difficult and sensitive situation extremely easier to go through. Jimmy Evans and his team are professional, responsive, knowledgeable and reliable.

The attorneys at Evans Family Law Group did a great job. I initially met with Shara McDonald Dixion, she is brilliant and had my best interest in mind from the word go. I wanted an amicable divorce and things went smoothly. When Shara left for maternity leave her team stepped up and got the job done. Thanks guys! If I ever need another attorney I will make sure to call the Evans Family Law Group first.

We had a prolonged experience with Evans Family Law Firm. We first spoke in July 2023 to begin an open and shut case. All we had to do was remove parental rights from my daughter's biological father, uncontested, and then go through the adoption process. We were told on the initial call that it would be a very fast process because he was cooperative, which would make every other step go much faster & smoother, as well (just a few months tops, and only about $3500). A few months later, we finally got the case transferred to Travis county from out of town, which took lots of "time and resources." The transfer apparently took months and thousands of dollars (along with having to send us one form twice to sign for some reason). We were then told we would be done before Thanksgiving or Christmas at the latest. I didn't hear much until late January when the court/hearing date started being finally processed for Feb. I emailed again mid-Feb, over two weeks later, to find out the court date as we still knew nothing. Every little thing cost an exuberant amount, and we went through thousands of dollars of our retainer for what appeared to be sending emails (which could cost anywhere between ~$20-$40 per email, depending who sent it, even if the email was only one or two sentences OR they just read it and didn't respond), filing things, or having discussions with each other in office about the case--there were lots of discussions about this easy, uncontested, open and shut case, too. Documents were sent individually over days rather than in batches, which only became an issue (outside email costs) when it was something like a notarization that could have been done together so I didn't have to go to a notary days apart. Otherwise, I had to contact them first to get any kind of news or update about the case or to get it moving. I allow that I'm not a lawyer, but it's my understanding that an uncontested stepchild adoption should only take about 3 months, 6 at the most (especially now that the home study--the long part--can be waived for situations like ours). They'd give us timelines that told us before the holiday season of last year. It ended up taking 7 months to get to the hearing day with thousands more dollars spent than they originally suggested, and we honestly have no idea why things took so long or why it cost so much for what needed to be done (despite the itemized invoices we received). When we inquired, they basically just told us these things take time and resources, plus the holiday season (that the case should have been done before even getting to). Most of our contact was via email, so when we finally met them, they were really nice, and I felt bad for feeling negatively towards them. But then right after the court date, we were told we were going to pick up our certified copies (so we could start the other name change processes) that same day, which turned into "you can come to the office next week to get them" so they didn't have to wait around the courthouse that day, which then turned into another 3 weeks and had to meet them down at the courthouse yet again because, besides the certified copies, we had to sign something else in front of a clerk to give to them... and we didn't end up needing to do that. On top of this, they spelled the biological father's name wrong on an official document and had to use more time and resources to get that fixed (though I don't believe they charged us for that--only the emails talking about it). By the end, it cost us over $8600 and *8 months later* finally being done (it was also over $1100 over the retainer even after they kindly didn't charge us for things here and there throughout the months). All of that being said, I am obviously happy with the turnout, and they were very pleasant in person. I just wish the journey would have been as smooth as they originally told us, and I feel I could have gotten the same turnout with a different journey elsewhere.

Mr. Evans and Staffs (attorney J Riggs and Jessica ( Legal Assistant)) are very knowledgeable, professional and HONEST. I was new to Austin (moved from Canada in 2022) and have had bad luck with the lawyers on my divorce case. Most of them were dishonest (overcharging for unnecessary hearings, neglect for case preparation and lack of knowledge in military divorce etc,.) but Mr. Evans showed immediate depth of knowledge in the issues presented and provided honest analysis. It is unfortunate for me that I didn't have a chance to retain him in 2022.

I recently had the privilege of working with Evans Family Law Group to secure a custody order, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

They took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, offering clear and practical advice tailored to my specific circumstances. Their professionalism and empathy immediately put me at ease during what was undoubtedly a challenging time. Throughout the process, Evans Family Law Group maintained open lines of communication, keeping me informed of any developments and promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had. Their responsiveness and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure my needs were met were truly impressive. What stood out most about Evans Family Law Group was their unwavering dedication to advocating for my rights and the well-being of my children. They approached negotiations with tenacity and skill, always prioritizing the best interests of my family. Their attention to detail and strategic approach ultimately led to a favorable custody order that exceeded my expectations. In addition to their legal expertise, the team at Evans Family Law Group demonstrated genuine care and compassion throughout the process. They understood the emotional toll that custody battles can take and provided invaluable support and guidance every step of the way. In conclusion, I am incredibly grateful to Evans Family Law Group for their exceptional service and unwavering commitment to achieving a positive outcome for my family. If you are in need of legal representation for any family law matter, I wholeheartedly recommend Evans Family Law Group – they are truly a cut above the rest. Thank you, Evans Family Law Group, for your outstanding work and for helping me navigate this challenging time with confidence and peace of mind. Sincerely, Richard Ybarra

Initially I had hoped my divorce case would be quick and relatively easy. It ended up being anything but simple. Jimmy was very responsive and thorough. His paralegal, Nicole, was fantastic and very responsive. A former lawyer in the firm could have done things better, which is why this is not a 5 star rating, but once Jimmy was aware of the issues, the situation got rectified, and his current team seems great.

Incredibly friendly, responsive, and thorough -- while helping me move quickly through the process. Can't recommend them enough; I'm so happy I chose this team to represent me.

I am thrilled to express my complete satisfaction with the legal services provided to me by Evans Family Law. His outstanding expertise, attention to detail, quick response time and dedication to my case ensured a favorable outcome. I can't say enough about his team either. They were very attentive, exceptional and professional. I am very grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance.
