Meet former clients Kyle & Wes

Thank you to Kyle and Wes for sharing your story. It has been our great pleasure and honor to work with these two. We value the trust that our clients give us and we take that trust very seriously. We understand that Social Security disability was designed to be a financial lifeboat for those who are disabled because they can no longer work. Unfortunately, getting to that lifeboat sometimes requires help from those with the experience and knowledge to navigate the waters of the Social Security Disability process.

Our mission is to give hope, encouragement and knowledge to people who are disabled and help them find a pathway to financial security by walking with them through the Social Security disability process.

Evans and Evans took my case and helped me win! The whole crew guided me through the process and made me feel confident that they were working hard for me every step of the way. They all treated me with dignity, respect, and kindness. I’d recommend this firm to anyone looking for a competent group of dedicated professionals.

I am a client of Evans & Evans PC. I would recommend this firm to anyone navigating the Social Security Disability application process. H. Peter Evans has been outstanding and I can’t thank Catherine Helle, Legal Assistant, enough for the help and support she provided me. Catherine was prompt in returning my calls and she communicated information in a clear and concise manner, making it extremely easy to understand. I am grateful for Catherine’s expertise during an arduous process.

Evans and Evans is truly a one in a million firm. They gave me counsel in a time where I didn’t have a lot of money but desperately needed direction and guidance. It wasn’t the counsel I wanted to hear but looking back it was the correct counsel. They were professional, fair and skilled.

My husband is a disabled vet that is currently working. However, his condition is deteriorating and we had many questions about what it would look like for our family when he was no longer able to continue working. I contacted Evans and Evans and explained our situation and received a call from Peter Evans. He was friendly and patient with all our questions. He is knowledgeable and explained different situations using examples from his experience to clearly explain to us how things work in the court system. We had more questions after our initial call and he took time out of his day to answer our remaining questions. When we are ready to file a claim we will absolutely hire him.
