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 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.”

Like some people seeking a divorce, Bill tried to self-file and handle the process himself. But a few small errors delayed his case by several months, which later cost him thousands in monthly expenses. After giving up trying to do it on his own, a quick Google search led him to Evolution.
At the initial meeting, founding attorney Chris Macturk reviewed Bill's documents from the self-filing attempts. "He was straightforward and explained the process in plain terms," Bill says. He was also relieved to hear Evolution charges a fixed fee. "I've always been wary of hourly rates," he says, “so Chris’ pricing gave me peace of mind.”
By Bill's estimates, had he reached out to Chris and the Evolution team first as opposed to self-filing, he would have saved thousands in additional monthly obligations as required by the settlement agreement. “I highly recommend going the Evolution route,” he says.

Chris was kind and understanding, and a great listener. He gave me the time to tell my story before he gave his thoughts. He offered his professional opinion about how to move forward as efficiently and thoughtfully as possible, but made sure I knew the decision was ultimately up to me. His pre-agreed pricing approach was great — I was happy to be able to just pay and move on, which made the process that much easier. Parking at his office was also very convenient. It made it easy to pop in and out for a visit. Overall, I had a great experience working with Chris! The process was seamless from start to finish.
