Divorce and child custody cases can be complicated and take months and sometimes years to complete. When you pay by the hour, you can’t help but watch the clock and wonder how much every meeting, phone call, or interaction will cost.

 

Evolution’s unique pre-agreed pricing structure establishes an agreed-upon price for your case up front, allowing you to focus on reaching the next phase of your life, your work, and your family – without having to worry about a future bill.

Your first meeting

First, we’ll sit down to discuss your needs. From there, I will determine what your case might look like, and set a price for your particular matter. Sometimes, this may require more than one meeting.

Determining the price

Instead of charging for my time, I bill for the value that I offer. I’ve handled hundreds of cases similar to yours, and have deep experience in the details of divorce and child custody.

To arrive at a price requires learning more about your situation and pulling from my knowledge. I may also foresee issues that could come down the road, changes that could cause the initial price to change. I will present and explain a price for my services within one to three business days of our last initial meeting, if not at the meeting itself.

Simple cases vs. Complex cases

In many cases, a separation agreement may handle all the legal requirements to separate. No court or judge necessary.

More complex divorce cases – spousal disagreements, abuse or abandonment, or financial complexities – will require more application of my knowledge and experience. Cases that go to court may require a different price than negotiating a separation agreement. Years of experience in family law give me a sense of how long your case will take and the potential issues associated with your particular matter.

What if things change?

In some cases, situations change for a number of reasons, particularly if your spouse or other parent wants to go to court and not negotiate an agreement. When significant changes to the original plan occur, whatever they may be, we may need to adjust course, which may require not only a change to the original plan but also to the original price.

You be the judge.

TESTIMONIALS

I came to Chris to handle a legal case arising from a previous divorce agreement. The lawyer who originally represented me was no longer in private practice, so she recommended Chris as someone who has a similar approach and a similar sense of integrity. Chris was great. He was knowledgeable and easy to work with. He did right by me in every sense. Chris kept me focused on realistic outcomes and recommended a great mediator when I expressed that I hoped to stay out of a courtroom. Also, his paralegal Kaelyn is a gem — smart, professional and a delight to work with.

I liked the pre-agreed pricing, and Chris clearly explained how it worked. I’m a CPA/CFO, so the accounting nerd in me really appreciated it. Chris coached me through the process and lowered my anxiety by focusing on the facts and the law. This was the right approach because my outcome was a whisper away from the best possible result I had projected prior to starting the process. Chris is a terrific human being apart from being a great lawyer, and Kaelyn also contributed a lot to the outstanding outcome in my case.

Seeking a divorce is such an emotional, stressful experience. It was important to find an attorney who I felt both comfortable and confident with to handle my situation in obtaining an amicable divorce. After getting various recommendations from friends and searching online, I came across Evolution. Their website appealed to me, and reading that Chris had been in family and divorce law for 20 years and had opened his own firm prompted me to call. I liked the idea of a pre-agreed pricing plan since hourly rates, phone calls, and extra discussions can get quite pricey, and it also took another level of stress off the table. At our first meeting, Chris put me at ease right away and walked me through the entire process and what we both needed to do as a team to get my desired results, which he did.  

Having an attorney like Chris who is compassionate and knowledgeable in the divorce process meant the world to me. Communication and guidance by Chris and his team was such a great help. I always felt every effort was made to return my calls and answer my questions. Chris himself would often call, and I never once felt the need to rush through our conversation. It's a great firm, and I would recommend them without hesitation.

I contacted Chris to handle my divorce case after doing a simple internet search looking for an attorney. Testimonials for Chris's company seemed to be sincere, so I reached out. Chris contacted me himself. His confidence and experience were immediately noticeable, so I hired him. Chris and his team were diligent, immediate, and kept me informed every step of the way. They answered my questions and did not sugarcoat things. They kept me at ease in their abilities during the entire process. Pre-agreed pricing was certainly convenient, and Chris honors all his time. The most unique challenge to my case was the fact that I live in New York, but the divorce was handled in Virginia. Chris and his team made that a non-issue. Chris got me exactly the outcome I was looking for. My other friends around Virginia were surprised, and a little jealous of my results. Not only did he get the results I was looking for, he did it quickly. He's very professional and very decisive, a true master of his trade.

I originally contacted Chris when I was going through a divorce. Chris and his team were very understanding and reassuring during that difficult time. Chris is very genuine and knowledgeable, and he is definitely an expert in his line of business.  The Evolution team was considerate and patient during the process. I felt confident after talking with Chris that he understood my wants, and he made sure that I knew all angles of the case. He kept me updated when situations would occur and was prompt to respond to emails and texts. Even with his super-busy schedule, he made himself available, and I really felt taken care of.   Chris’ pre-agreed pricing was a big reason I called him. I wanted upfront pricing — no nickel and diming. Chris’ patience and experience with other cases like mine was comforting to me.  I am so relieved that I reached out to his team. I was stressed and emotional at our first meeting. Chris quickly put me at ease and was able to walk me through the process. His patience, kindness and expertise gave me the reassurance I needed.

I originally contacted Chris to see if I could get a divorce via publication. She was overseas, so my divorce had international implications, and it later became a contested divorce. The pre-agreed pricing was appealing because divorce is already a stressful matter and, as a client, I’d prefer not to be watching the clock when I’m talking or emailing with my attorney. Chris and his team shined because mine was not a standard divorce and required some research with international aspects.
Chris and his team did a great job of communicating with me to keep me informed about the process and clearly explained the issues surrounding my complicated divorce.J.V.
