I hired Mr. Tucker to handle a contested probate matter involving my late uncle's trust. With his 40 years of experience and the recognition he's received in trusts and estates litigation, I felt confident in his technical ability. His deep knowledge of Colorado probate law was evident, and he successfully navigated the court proceedings to a settlement. However, the experience was mixed. While his analysis was sharp, his communication style was often difficult to manage. There were significant delays in receiving responses to emails, and updates on case developments were sometimes provided only after I initiated contact. His billing was precise, but the overall process felt less collaborative than I had hoped. For straightforward, high-stakes litigation, his expertise from Evans Case LLP is undeniable. Yet, for clients who prioritize consistent, proactive communication and a more hands-on feeling from their attorney, expectations may need to be managed. He is a competent and seasoned lawyer, but the client service aspect felt merely adequate.
