Once I retained Mr Evan Samuelson to assist me with the dissolution of my marriage, and given the relative brevity of my marriage I thought our time together would be short. But to my surprise I instead was in for a long legal battle that would last a contentious two years. What made it manageable however was Evan's easy-going and even-keeled temperament that provided a perfect balance of absolute professionalism and competence served with a touch of occasional levity that made the most difficult days more bearable. Therefore and because one can be assured of being provided wise and proper council, I proudly recommend the legal services of Mr Evan Samuelson. If ever I had the misfortune to re-live such a legal ordeal and required assistance, I wouldn't hesitate to retain his services once again. read more

I highly reccommend Evan Samuelson to assist you with any Family Law or gramparents issues and he will put forth all his efforts to get the job done and make your heart happy again!! read more

Had a consult with this Evan. He is slow and not up to speed on current events. I did not find him helpful at all. Waste of money.

Evan is simply the best I have ever worked with. He took a complicated matter that was 3 years running and was able to resolve everything in about a year when I felt like there was no end in sight. He understands and is willing to listen but also applies this in an appropriate way through court. Evan works hard to do the right thing and with the desired outcome. He was always there to hear my side and help me understand why the decision was made or what options were available. A great person and a better lawyer. I am eternally grateful for his help in my custody case. read more

I hired Evan Samuelson to help me when my ex-husband started to create some parental alienation issues with regards to my custody of my sons. I had never hired an attorney before and I am not very knowledgeable about legal jargon and the sometimes confusing hoops you have to jump through for the courts but once Evan took my case he communicated with the other attorney with the upmost of competence and reliability. Evan really took the time to understand my case, break it down and figure out the best course of action and then performed his job as my attorney in such a way that he had my complete trust. He was highly effective in swaying the courts to see it my way. He is actually brilliant in the way he molds things in order to prove a point. I would re-hire Evan as my attorney every single time I need one but here's to hoping I don't! If you are looking for a legal whiz to take your case, look no further than Mr. Samuelson. read more

I found Evan Samuelson to be a kind, honest and extremely intelligent man. His knowledge of family law is exceptional. His use of logic and reason in applying family law to my case was exceptional. He never overpromised, never charged unnecessary fees, explained both sides to me clearly and always told me the truth. At all times during the legal process I felt I was in competent hands. Would I use him again? Absolutely 100%. In fact, he doesn't know this yet, (he'll read it in this review) I plan on using him for all my legal needs from now on. Thank you Evan, for a job very well done. D. Rossaro read more

I consulted with Evan regarding how to protect my assets from my ex-spouse in the event of my death and my estate passing to my son while he is still a minor. He explained my options clearly, logically, and succinctly. I found the consultation to be of great value, and would recommend him to my friends and family. read more

They never called me back or replied by email. I don't understand why. If they are too busy just say so.

Mr. Samuelson always puts your interests first and he is very honest!. We have used Mr. Samuelson's services for many years ranging from multiple restraining orders to various complaints. We've also referred others to him for his services. Mr. Samuelson has always been knowledgeable and attentive to our wants and needs. If the situation arose, we would not hesitate to use him again. read more

Evan went above and beyond to support and provide caring services though this difficult process. He provided personal, professional and dedicated attention to every need I had as a client. read more

Not organized, unresponsive, doesn't follow up on his case. Slowed the whole process.

I contacted Mr. Samuelson for what should of been a easy open and close case. I however threw a monkey wrench midway through the case by requesting a move away with my children from CA to the Chicago area. After a year and a half of hearings, mediations and finally trial we were granted permission to move. During trial Evan was not only knowledgeable about case law, he was calm and reassuring during the process. I felt at ease knowing he was on my side and fighting to reunite my family. I am forever grateful to have had Evan Samuelson as my attorney. read more

Worth the consultation! Please do your research (which you are currently doing) when picking out an attorney. What you will find is that Evan Samuelson is one of the best. How I can make that claim is from years of experience and hundreds of hours in the court house observing numerous family law cases. What makes him one of the best is as follows: -Correctly filed paperwork (very important!) -Honest and direct -Well respected by the courts and his peers (Saves you time and money when working against apposing counsel) -Experienced -Always on time -Returns Calls promptly -Professional demeanor -Does Not provide false hope to his clients very realistic -Well prepared for trial (again his great attention to detail on paperwork) -Listens to his clients wants and needs Anyway I could go on and on but to simply state it. He is worth his hourly rate do not judge attorneys and skill based on price as that is not always a true indicator of knowledge or results. Please meet with him and discuss your issue and I believe you will find him a suitable fit for your needs. I have been a long term client 10+ years and recommend him every chance I get. Good luck to all of you entering the court systems. (if you deserve it). read more

I first employed Evan over 10 years ago during a custody battle with my son's mother. My son was 14 years old at the time, and the court was more than willing to allow him to go live with his mother because they considered him old enough to decide. My son's mother had trouble with addiction for years, but the court refused to acknowledge that little tidbit. It was an impossible case and Evan was very forthright and honest about our chances. However, he was very willing to fight for us and we devised a strategy together that was both brilliant and effective. My son's mother was luring him away by spoiling him with gifts and fun activities with money she inherited. We decided to fight a battle of attrition with the expectation that she would eventually run out of money with her free spending. It worked! It was an impossible case that we won by unconventional, but ultimately successful, means. I am now about to embark on another custody battle which may be even more impossible than the first, and my only choice to represent me in this case is Evan Samuelson. read more
