Austin Family Law Attorney

We’ve never used the expression ‘open-and-shut case’ when it comes to describing family legal matters. Even though some cases can be handled more swiftly than others, there is nothing easy, or simple, where family is involved. We approach every case with the respect and thoroughness it requires, always considering the implications these proceedings may have on each member of your family. Many of our cases involve divorce, children and child custody, so we work carefully to find a compromise that befits everyone involved in your unique situation.

Experience, Experience, Experience – Austin Family Law

Experience is our most valuable tool when it comes to effectively handling cases that involve divorce, financial and property disputes, child custody and support, adoption, grandparent’s rights, protective orders, child abduction and so on (find other common practice areas listed below). It’s years of varied case work that has allowed Jimmy Evans to best understand how to help you and your family through this difficult time.

When it comes navigating any legal situation there is only one thing that matters: finding an attorney you can trust.

Frankly, this is the only way we feel confident that you will be able to be completely open about details pertinent to your case, and that we will have all the information required to reach the desired outcome.
