Our Promises To You:

Clear & Flexible Pricing

We offer pricing options designed to give you clarity and control, allowing you to choose the approach that best fits your needs and budget. Depending on your case, we'll help you determine the most suitable pricing option.

We Listen

During such an emotional and stressful time, you deserve a team that truly listens. Whether you have a strong support network or feel like you're facing this alone, we’re here for you—helping you navigate your options and determine the best next steps.

Skilled Advocate

In negotiations, you need a lawyer who skillfully opens communication pathways. When people talk, solutions come faster, decreasing expenses and helping you get more of what you want.

In court, you need an experienced litigator who can effectively work with other lawyers, handle combativeness, and get your message to the judge.

Accessible & Responsive

Divorce has so many unknowns. The last thing we want is for you to feel like you can’t reach us to get your questions answered.

Evolution Service Pledge

While no lawyer can guarantee an outcome, at Evolution Divorce, we can guarantee a high level of client service. And if we do not provide that level — good enough to earn your referral to others — we will provide you an opportunity to request a refund up to 25% of the price you have paid to that point.

What clients say about Evolution Divorce

I will forever be grateful I happened upon Evolution Divorce & Family Law during two of the hardest years of my life. From my very first consultation, Chris and Taylor made me feel heard and understood with tissue boxes and jokes on hand. Their easy going personalities and high ethical standards made the intimidating legal world so much easier to navigate and understand. Even in the moments I was frustrated, Chris was always honest with me and his approach was kind and even therapeutic. For two whole years I pretty much felt like I was their only client in the best way possible. Communication was prompt, I was never hurried, and I was genuinely cared for as a person. They will always have my referral. Thank you Chris and Taylor!
