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!
