Our Practice AREAS

Evans Law Firm, PLLC is committed to providing clients across the Mississippi Gulf Coast, including Harrison County, Jackson County, and Hancock County, with the best legal representation by an attorney.  We approach every project with a focus on professional quality service, timely cost effective representation, honesty, integrity, and zealousness.  Our firm also understand that your case involves more than just law, and that your case will often affect many aspects of your life.   

Our firm understands that one of the important consideration in hiring an attorney is cost, and that time and money are key resources that must be preserved during the legal process.  We value our clients' resources, and will work diligently to determine cost effective solutions for our clients while taking care to ensure that fees and time are used wisely.

We will work with clients in order to determine acceptable payment arrangements.  Our law firm accepts major credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express for payment of legal fees.  Our firm is committed to providing clients with quality services at a reasonable cost.   

Our firm is honest with clients.  This means that clients will be provided with the information they need to make informed decisions to achieve their goals, rather than being told what they want to hear.  Clients are provided with an honest opinion of their case and potential outcomes.  

Our firm believes in exemplary ethical conduct that promotes a respect for the law and processes of the legal system.  Our firm believes in adhering to the law, and following the high ethical standards set out in the Mississippi Rules of Professional Conduct.  Our firm will exhibit good character by showing good judgment, acting with character, and exhibiting fidelity, honesty, and civility.

We understand that your case is more than just law.  Our firm focuses on the significant, underlying issues in order to ensure that we assist our clients in finding solutions that are lasting.  With a focus on the current situation, our firm will also look to possible future consequences.  It is important to our firm to provide our clients with long term resolutions to their problems, rather that short term solutions that may require future litigation. 

Individuals have specific needs, wants, and outcomes when they seeking the representation of an attorney.  Our firm will fully discuss the client's legal matter in the context of the law.  We will work with our clients to determine and clarify goals to enable our firm to meet client expectations.  

It is important for our firm to meet the needs of our clients. We will discuss all possible options for resolution of our clients' legal matters and provide a variety of methods for resolution. We seek to do what is best for our clients, including going beyond the standard approach or response. 

As a small law firm we provide flexibility to our clients.  Unlike larger law firms, our office can provide more flexibility with fee arrangements and how the representation is structured.  This flexibility also applies to legal strategies and work.  As a small firm we have control over the amount of legal fees charged in a matter, and will never attempt to extend the litigation or recommend unneeded legal work to increase attorney's fees.  The flexibility available at a smaller law firm can work in a client's favor.    

Our firm wants and expects our clients to take an active role in their cases.  We will listen to our clients to allow our firm to learn about them, their situation, and their expectations for the future.  We believe that it is important to fully understand the client's point-of-view.  We emphasize the freedom of our clients to make decisions in their case. 

Though we assist clients in discovering a wide range of options in handling their legal matter, our firm will provide clients with realistic options and outcomes.  We will also assist clients in focusing on their goals while understanding the "big picture" regarding their legal matter.  We help clients evaluate the practical and legal risks associated with litigation in order to allow for fully educated decisions to be made.

Many disputes can and should settle, and the client is better served by a reasonable settlement.  If the matter cannot be settled out of the courtroom, our firm is willing to go to court.  We handle every case, from day one, with the goal of winning in court, and this ensures that we achieve the best results for our clients.  Whether we are providing advice before any problem has arisen, negotiating at the conference table, or fighting for our clients in court, we take a smart approach that considers our clients' needs, the practicalities of their legal problem, and the possibility that decisions made today will affect what happens at the conclusion of the case on into the future.
