What is Pre-Agreed Pricing?

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.

I contacted Chris to understand the process of a non-contested divorce. He met with me twice at no charge to gather information and help me understand the process, which he did expertly. He explained technical legal jargon clearly and answered all of my questions patiently. I felt confident and comfortable moving forward with the divorce through Evolution because of how well I was treated and how much I felt valued. I also interacted with several other members of Chris' team throughout this process and everyone was friendly, communicative, punctual with responses and paperwork, and extremely helpful overall. They really helped alleviate a lot of the stress and anxiety that can come with going through something like this.

Now, for his Pre-Agreed Pricing: All my life, I've heard horror stories of exorbitant legal fees creating financial crises in people's lives. Knowing I wouldn't be nickel-and-dimed was appealing because I could budget and predict my finances around this process instead of being hit with unexpected expenses and fees. Also, I was astounded just how much time and work was covered under one pre-agreed price. I honest and truly felt that I got much more than my money's worth.

Evolution achieved the results I wanted, and even when the courts played their bureaucratic games with us and delayed the process several times (outside of Evolution's control), I unwaveringly felt that Chris and his team were dedicated to making sure that they saw this process through in as timely a manner as possible. They communicated clearly and consistently every time a legal challenge would present itself.

I wanted to get a no-fault divorce from an out-of-state spouse. I came across Chris through a search on Google. I had talked to about 7 or 8 lawyers already and was losing hope when Chris called to do our consultation. I explained my situation and he provided me with details on the process and how he and his team work. He explained that I needed a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL), an investigator who would advocate for my spouse and make recommendations to the court. Chris recommended someone who was great. The entire process was done virtually. Chris and his team called and emailed me all updates and next steps. Any time I reached out to them the response was quick.

Evolution's pre-agreed pricing approach was wonderful for me. I had a budget and I knew my case was fairly simple. Knowing exactly what you're going to pay up front takes some stress out the equation. You also don't feel cheated by that hourly rate when you know your case is open and shut.

I reached the desired results and it all happened within the time frame that Chris quoted me, even during a pandemic. We started the process in August and everything was finalized in October — that's with working with a GAL and an out-of-state spouse. If everything was local I believe it would've been even quicker.

Chris and his team were professional and efficient from the beginning. They did all the communication with the GAL and the entire process was painless. I literally filed some forms, wrote a couple checks, signed a couple documents and everything else was taken care of by them. They have a client for life if I ever need assistance in the future. Highly recommend!

When the trust in his marriage was broken, Collin knew he needed a divorce attorney, but didn’t know anything about the process. So he turned to the only place he knew where to get one: Google.

A quick search, aided by reviews from those who have been through a divorce, led him to Chris Macturk and Evolution. “He is a caring professional and accessible, considerate, and measured in his advice,” Collin says. “He was also very sensitive to whether I wanted to initiate a divorce, or try to work things out. I didn’t feel pressure to move forward and felt I could make my own choice.” As the couple had no children, Chris was able to create a Property Settlement Agreement (PSA) for Collin. The PSA divided up property, debt, and other assets between the separated couple in a process that took six months. “The document met my needs and I was satisfied with how it turned out,” Collin says. “We achieved an ideal outcome.” Evolution’s pre-agreed pricing approach was also a plus, he notes. “There are so many other things you’re worried and stressed about, so knowing what you will pay is extremely helpful,” he said. “The price was quite fair.” And his advice to others facing a similar situation? “Practice forgiveness.”
