Things you need to know about Evan:…read more -He's extremely responsive and ensures that you can reach him at any time- including after hours and on weekends  -He's well versed in Alaska family law and can give you realistic expectations for your case while also advocating for your best interest.  -He will not let the opposing party, or the judge, bully you into accepting something that isn't fairly in your best interest.  -He's thorough and detail-oriented. He will pay attention to the nuances of your case and won't allow things to fall through the cracks.  Now, my full review: I found Evan in August 2023 after being blindsided by an unexpected custody modification motion that was based on lies and hurtful accusations. I am in Illinois. My originally custody agreement was created in Alaska, albeit my child had never been in Alaska. Her father filed there for dissolution and was willing to give me full custody so the divorce was uncontested and child custody was wrongfully established in the wrong state. Evan responded to the motion to modify with a request to vacate the original custody order entirely- as it was wrongfully established. The judge denied our motion, but Evan was very confident that his ruling was wrong and offered the option of taking my case to the Supreme Court with a Petition for Review (similar to an appeal). After 10 months of fighting endless motions from the other side (all of which were filled with hurtful lies and damaging accusations), and having a hearing at the Supreme Court, my Petition for Review was granted and my original custody order in Alaska was vacated. My custody case is now in Illinois, the rightful jurisdiction. Throughout this entire time, Evan recieved almost weekly emails from me. Many custody disputes occurred between the opposing party and I. Evan responded to me promptly- including addressing emergencies on the weekends AND over the Thanksgiving holiday. He always gave honest advice and was empathetic to my complex and nerve-wracking situation. Although I have absolutely no legal education, when I brought case law or hypotheticals to his attention he willingly listened and provided further insight. He never made me feel as though I was wasting his time.  When Evan spoke to witnesses and professional advocates who work with my child he was courteous, respectful, and took notes of their concerns. He treated my case as if he was fighting for his own child and understood all of the intricacies involved.  He did all of this, while never meeting me in person. I fought this entire case, with his help, from my home in Illinois. We interacted through the phone and email. Even so, as my contract with Evan comes to a close, I can say with full honesty that Evan is the best lawyer I ever could have asked for. He genuinely cares for his clients. The cases he takes on, he puts 110% effort into. He is honest, professional, well-spoken, and extremely educated in Alaska law. In the unfortunate situation that I need an AK lawyer again in the future, Evan is the ONLY person I'll go to. If any of my friends or family in Alaska need a lawyer, Evan is the ONLY person I'd recommend. If anyone reading this review is wondering if they need to give Evan a call- I'll end my review, right now, so you can start dialing his number. In the midst of a heartbreaking family law case, having Evan by your side will be the best choice you make.

I feel one of the most important things to consider about this review is that I am not from…read moreAnchorage, nor do I live in the state of Alaska. I had to handle my case roughly 4,000 miles away and I was nervous to say the least. I don't know many people in Anchorage so it wasn't like I could call around and ask friends if they knew anything about family law and take recommendations for lawyers. During one of the most stressful times in my life, I had to rely on google to lead me in the direction of a solid lawyer. I am so thankful that I didn't choose poorly. I cannot stress enough how happy I am with Evan's services. Truly. I called his office, completely unprepared to speak with a lawyer (because they usually don'y answer their own phones), and I told him all about my case. In the same conversation, he told me it would be complicated and that he couldn't guarantee an outcome (as they all say, but really, the outcome could've went either way), but that he would take the case. He worked for our winning outcome. The documents that he created were quality work that has received plenty of praise since. He is personable, communicates like a real person, and replies in a timely manner. He is a busy person, but you'd think he was only working for you with the way he discusses the case like it's his only priority. His efforts show through his work. Like I said before, the case was complicated. I remember going into the hearing and thinking, "no matter what happens, I'm glad I got to work with Evan because he really cared." We won. But I would give this same review regardless. He is good. More than good. Hire him.

Just know that if you are a man in a divorce and there are any allegations of DV this firm (and 95%…read moreof all legal firms) either will, a) not fight for your rights to the full extent; or b) will actually encourage you to admit to something you have not done because they either believe you are guilty before reviewing all evidence or they don't believe they can prevail in your defense regardless. I'm not arguing that violent assaults should go unpunished, but statistically it is just as (if not more) likely for women-on-women DV to happen in AK as it is man-on-women. But due to the experiences of many of the young AK criminal (and civil) attorneys, troopers, DA's, and judges with men who actually commit heinous and cowardly violent acts, the system is severely biased. They don't even recognize how biased they are. All it takes is a single allegation from a scorned woman (with significant motivation to get as much $ possible out of a divorce) to get these attorneys to cower down and advise their clients to accept any plea deal or settlement no matter how poor a deal. Katharine Penrod and most other attorneys will cave to the system without even discussing the merits of the case or the facts involved with their client. She told me 100% I would be convicted if we went to trial (not what happened:). Never mind you will not be provided your constitutionally "guaranteed" due diligence or equal protections in the process. Katharine was particularly quick to judge, had poor communications with me, and I could tell was biased from the start (I respect she advocates for abused child and women but her objectivity has been compromised in the process). While I will say Chris Cromer made some half ass attempts at remedying some of the problems with my representation, I paid a lot of money essentially for his clerk to fill out forms, draft petitions, and put together exhibits that were never needed (and Chris knew that all along). I ended up having to pay AOW for Ms. Penrod's poor legal advice and then had to hire an entirely different criminal attorney who I had to coach into (essentially advocated for myself) requesting my charges get set aside. In the end it took the judge less than 3 mins to set aside my charges because he could see right through the vindictiveness of the whole allegation. Katharine (Ms. Penrod) was 100% sure I would have the DV charges stick and stay on my record and she was 100% wrong. And worse yet she never attempted to describe what evidence would be used against me, listen to my concerns, or to explain if I had any other legal options.
