Carr Law Firm, P.L.C.

Jeremy Evans was my lawyer for not only my CPS case, but also my criminal charges. My CPS case is where, due to his lack of desire to work for his client and truly defend them, my parental rights have been terminated. When you bring something up to Jeremy, he dismisses it as it won't make any difference, etc. He did great navigating me a deal for probation and a deferred judgement, but when it came to the family law side, I felt like he was fighting on DHS' side, and not on mine. He coerced me into not testifying at one of our final hearings, even though I was fully prepared to, even if it meant being torn apart on the stand. I was told me testifying wouldn't make enough of a difference to be worth putting myself through that. Which really translates to, he didn't want to do any actual work. He didn't try to help me or even really fight for myself or my husband to keep our kids. He agreed with DHS more than he actively tried to fight for our right to see our kids. If you have a family law case, I repeat, DO NOT use Jeremy Evans. He will work with DHS to permanently get your kids taken from you by convincing you that it's not worth fighting or fighting for.

Zoe Violett is the best service coordinator I have come across, she is also so kind & responsive to question I have.

Used to walk by here often when I lived at The Plaza.

Emily Carr has taken on our case for grandparents rights. The children were suddenly removed from our lives a year and a half ago. While we missed them terribly we were worried about the effect this had on them due to our extremely close relationship. As their grandmother, I had an especially difficult time with it and when Emily told us an agreement had been proposed and we would be able to see them the upcoming weekend, I was in shock and didn’t really respond with how much I appreciate all of the work that went into getting to this point and the joy that is in my heart now at the thought of seeing them in a few days. I have cried tears of sorrow for the last year and a half and now tears of joy. I would have been very impressed with Emily no matter what the outcome but I am beside myself with the outcome and the ability for my husband and I to be back in our amazing grandchildren’s lives, thanks to Emily and her amazing team. Thank you, we are beyond excited to see them again.

... If ur looking for a big boy attorney...

Went through the hardest time in my life, but Bryan helped me through it with genuine care and brilliance. Wonderful staff too.

Jeremy Evans took my case when the owner represented the man who almost took my life. I have multiple recordings of him yelling at me during a zoom meeting/phone call. Not only did he not fight for me despite this wrongful removal, he acted abusive towards me. He broke attorney client confidentiality, refused to follow the law and file with the court when I asked him to. This man should not have the ability to practice law. There is a lot more I could write but due to my case being ongoing I cant at this time.

Very impressed with the Compassionate care received. Professionalism is on point.

Thank you, Gina Verdoorn, for your exceptional representation and for going above and beyond to secure a favorable outcome for me.

After a long chips case represented by Bryan Webber I just won custody of two of my sons. This is where I'll be coming and recommending for any legal representation in the state of Iowa.

Review of Attorney Jeremy Evans: I sought representation from Attorney Jeremy Evans to navigate a highly complex CPS case involving the termination of my parental rights (TPR). Unfortunately, my experience with Mr. Evans did not meet my expectations, and I feel it’s important to share this feedback for anyone considering his services. Lack of Attention to Constitutional Violations: One of my primary concerns was that crucial constitutional issues were not presented in my case, which ultimately impacted the outcome. I repeatedly requested that Mr. Evans raise these violations, which included concerns about due process and fair representation. However, despite my insistence and evidence in the form of email exchanges, he assured me it was unnecessary. This omission was critical, as the Iowa Supreme Court later declined to review my case, in part due to the absence of these constitutional arguments. Lack of Communication and Transparency: Throughout the case, I felt that communication was insufficient. Important updates were often delayed, and I was not fully informed about strategic decisions or options available to us, especially in moments that could have impacted my case’s direction. Clear and transparent communication is essential in such sensitive matters, and I believe this is an area where improvement is needed. Limited Advocacy for My Parental Rights: In a CPS case as delicate as this, I expected my attorney to be proactive and fully committed to advocating for my parental rights. While every case has complexities, I felt that my perspective and wishes for my children’s well-being and placement were not adequately represented or fought for in court. Overall Experience: Given the outcome of my case, I cannot, in good faith, recommend Attorney Jeremy Evans for cases involving parental rights and CPS. Legal representation should involve not only skill and knowledge but also dedication to the client’s rights and a commitment to raising essential issues when they arise.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment with the service provided by your firm regarding my recent legal case. Initially, I was optimistic about the level of expertise and support I expected to receive. However, the events that transpired have left me with no choice but to communicate my dissatisfaction. One of your lawyers, whom I entrusted with my case, abruptly informed me a couple weeks before my trial that they would no longer be able to represent me due to accepting a position elsewhere. This last-minute notification put me in an extremely precarious position, leaving me without adequate time to secure alternative representation. What compounded my frustration was the lack of initiative from your firm to rectify the situation or offer assistance in finding a suitable replacement. This lack of support during such a critical time is not only unprofessional but also reflects poorly on the commitment you profess to your clients. The absence of a contingency plan or even an attempt to make amends for this oversight is bewildering. It is reasonable to expect a law firm of your stature to handle such transitions smoothly and with the client's best interest in mind. Unfortunately, this was not my experience, and it has significantly impacted my view of your firm. I had hoped for a partnership that valued professionalism and client welfare, but instead, I was met with negligence and a disregard for the gravity of my situation. It is with regret that I must state that I cannot recommend your services based on my experience.

Erin is a rare attorney who returns calls promptly and gives you his full attention even when in the middle of a very busy caseload… Highly recommend!
