Evan E. Zelig exceeded every expectation I had for legal representation. From our first…read moreconversation, he was responsive, calm, and exceptionally thorough--he took the time to explain the process clearly, answered every question without impatience, and made sure I understood each step before moving forward. What impressed me most was his strategic approach and professionalism. Evan is sharp, well-connected, and truly on offense when it matters--he anticipates issues before they arise, communicates with purpose, and advocates with confidence. At the same time, he remained grounded and kind throughout the entire experience. Even during stressful moments, he was patient, steady, and reassuring, which made a significant difference for me personally. His attention to detail and ability to move efficiently were remarkable. He handled my matter with urgency and precision, and he ultimately secured a complete dismissal of all charges in record time. That outcome speaks for itself, but so does the way he carried himself throughout: polished, stylish, and consistently professional, without ever losing his human touch. If you're looking for an attorney who is highly competent, proactive, and genuinely committed to his clients, I recommend Evan without hesitation. I'm deeply grateful for his work and would absolutely retain him again.

Very intelligent lawyer. Ethical, nice and very smart. I highly recommend him. He's the real deal.read more

Ryan, I only just noticed your response to my review. Three years may have passed, but the passage…read moreof time does not make the facts any less relevant. You claim that my review is "neither fair nor accurate," yet you do not identify a single statement that is supposedly false. Saying that professional rules prevent you from discussing details is convenient, but it does not explain why your firm failed to appear at my scheduled court hearing, leaving me dangerously close to having a default judgment entered against me. Only after I found another attorney were we able to appear at the last possible moment and protect my case. I was never given a refund only an apology after my case had nearly been seriously compromised.That was not merely a "bad experience," and it certainly was not the "amazing experience" your response advertises. It was a serious professional failure involving a client's legal rights and future. I have no interest in calling your office for a private conversation years later. You had every opportunity to communicate with me properly when I was your client and when it actually mattered. A generic denial followed by a marketing slogan does nothing to address what actually happened. My review remains relevant, and I stand by it.

Well if your looking for justice and you want the feeling that your lawyer is working for you and not doing you any favours you should defintly give this guy a call, you won't be sorry, I'm a happy person right now.

I hired Peter 3 months ago to help me handle a bit of a mix-up…read more I called about 7 or 8 lawyers in the area. A few didn't want my case and one 5-star attorney in Santa Rosa flat-out told me it would be impossible for her to get it thrown out, without even looking at any paperwork or hearing what I had to say. (Peter got it thrown out.) Peter was the only one I believed when he said he would make a vigorous defense and go to trial if necessary. He said "the DAs know I don't mind going to trial" and this was corroborated by another lawyer who said "it seems like Peter is always in court." That's a good thing because it's a real weakness among attorneys to be so annoyed by trial that they take whatever deal is on the table. Peter's fee was in the normal range for the area, and he did not make big promises but he also was willing to listen to my arguments. So far we have had one big win that Peter worked hard for. In a few weeks I will find out if we have another big win and I feel a lot of confidence knowing that Peter will be there. Thanks Peter!

One star (too bad there aren't negative stars lol!). I deeply regret hiring this attorney…read more I retained him for an extremely high-stakes domestic violence and child-custody matter, where the consequences could not have been more serious. I expected an attorney who would be prepared, assertive, and able to challenge material misrepresentations made by the opposing party. That was not my experience at the hearing. Not even close, it was pathetic. I watched significant factual issues and misrepresentations go inadequately challenged while the case moved toward an outcome with devastating consequences for me and my children. I had to email real-time corrections to them based on evidence already provided, but Counsel did not even look at the factual corrections as cited in my initial documentation until after the hearing, despite the fact that I called their office to flag it. I understand that no attorney can guarantee a particular result, and I am not criticizing him simply because I lost. My criticism is about the quality of representation I felt I received when it mattered most. I did not feel that the evidence, inconsistencies, or inaccuracies central to my case were presented and challenged with anything close to the force, clarity, or preparation that the circumstances demanded. I honestly could have represented myself better... This was the type of hearing where an attorney needed to know the record cold, react quickly when facts were misstated, protect the client's position, and make sure the judge had an accurate picture before making life-altering custody decisions. I left the hearing feeling profoundly underrepresented. I hired counsel precisely because I knew the stakes were too high to navigate alone. Instead, I walked away wishing I had chosen different representation from the beginning. I terminated the attorney-client relationship immediately after the hearing. If you are a white male, definitely hire him. If not, do NOT! Anyone considering this attorney for a contested DVRO or custody matter should ask very detailed questions about how they prepare for evidentiary hearings (they do not lol), how aggressively they address inaccurate testimony, how they plan to present conflicting evidence, and exactly what advocacy you can expect in the courtroom. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend him.
