Sonia
I have consulted with and hired Ms. Evans on many occasions over recent years. She has always been extremely knowledgeable and very helpful with the issues I have brought to her, being willing to answer any questions I asked. Ms. Evans also won a significant CEQA case for a neighborhood group I am a member of, with far-reaching local effects we are still discovering.

Noreen and Deirdre with Evans Kingsbury LLP have been nothing short of wonderful to speak and work with. Both Noreen and Deirdre are incredibly respectful, knowledgeable and attentive to our conversations. It is clear how much they care about their clients because it shows each and every time we speak. I truly look forward to future discussions and on-going work, not only Deirdre and Noreen but the entire team at Evans Kingsbury LLP.
Marta Acosta
Going into the divorce process I was very fearful and had no knowledge of how the process worked. Dierdra was extremely quick to listen and take my case into her hands giving me the security at one of the most difficult times of my life. Dierdra has years of experience and is very knowledgable in the court system therefore she has represented me outstandingly. Overall, the team at Evan Kingsbury LLP have been very professional and attentive to my needs.
