Evans Law Firm, Inc. – Elder law attorney in San Francisco: Contact Info
Evans Law Firm, Inc. is an elder law attorney serving clients from its San Francisco office at 3053 Fillmore St #236, San Francisco, CA 94123. The firm focuses on matters affecting older adults and their families, including disputes that commonly arise around trusts, estates, and potential financial exploitation. With an established presence on Fillmore Street, the office offers weekday availability for consultations and case work, making it accessible for clients who prefer scheduled meetings during standard business hours.
The firm maintains a high average rating (4.9 from 29 reviews), reflecting feedback that often highlights methodical preparation, clear guidance, and persistent advocacy—attributes that are particularly important in elder law, where cases can involve sensitive family dynamics and detailed financial records. Prospective clients typically begin with a phone or web inquiry to confirm scope, availability, and next steps. While the practice may provide referrals when a matter is outside its focus, structured data and the most consistent review themes indicate an emphasis on elder-focused litigation and related advice.
Opening Hours
Monday–Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Saturday: Closed
Sunday: Closed
These hours support weekday appointments and case activity. Clients are encouraged to call ahead to arrange a consultation, send documents, or confirm timing for in-person or remote discussions.
Practice Focus and Approach
Elder law and financial protection: The firm’s category and client accounts point to experience with elder financial fraud and abuse matters, trust and will disputes, and related civil litigation aimed at protecting seniors’ assets and intent.
Litigation-readiness: Review narratives describe thorough evidence gathering, extensive document review, and assertive deposition work when cases require a contested approach.
Guidance and referrals: When a matter is not within the firm’s core focus, some reviewers note receiving helpful referrals to other practitioners, allowing prospective clients to move forward quickly with a more aligned resource.
Reviews and Reputation
Reviews frequently mention the firm’s tenacity in elder financial abuse and trust-related disputes, with multiple clients describing favorable settlements after detailed investigation and strong representation during depositions. Customers often note clear, direct communication that aims to streamline decisions and reduce uncertainty during lengthy processes.
Several comments highlight professionalism in initial screening—either taking on elder-focused matters or, when appropriate, providing referrals to attorneys with closer alignment to the issue at hand. This can be helpful for families seeking prompt direction, particularly when they are navigating complex medical, caregiving, or fiduciary circumstances.
There is also feedback indicating that the firm may decline cases perceived as outside its active scope. One recent, detailed review alleges a mismatch between the website’s stated practice areas and a case the firm declined involving whistleblower/False Claims Act issues. While such accounts represent individual experiences, they suggest that prospective clients should confirm fit and scope early in the intake process, especially for specialized areas adjacent to but not strictly within elder law. As always, structured business information should be weighed alongside reviews to form a balanced view.
Why the Location and Hours Matter
For clients in San Francisco, the Fillmore Street address provides a recognizable location for meetings and document exchanges. Standard weekday hours (9 AM to 5 PM) align with court schedules and professional services, enabling the firm to coordinate with financial institutions, medical providers, and other stakeholders commonly involved in elder law matters. Clients with time-sensitive issues—such as contest periods for wills or urgent protective actions—may find it useful to call early in the week to secure the soonest available appointment.

Evans Law Firm's website explicitly states they handle "whistleblower cases for false claims for government payments." I contacted them with a documented False Claims Act case involving systematic Medicaid fraud by a managed care plan - exactly matching their stated practice area. I presented:
False claims against federal Medicaid program
Systematic denial of medically necessary care while collecting government premiums
Documented evidence of insurance fraud
Opioid-specific discrimination affecting all beneficiaries
51-day obstruction of prescribed medical equipment
Ms. Evans personally stated this is "not in their scope" despite their website advertising this exact type of case. This is false advertising. If your firm doesn't actually handle False Claims Act whistleblower cases involving government healthcare fraud, remove that language from your website. Don't waste potential clients' time claiming expertise you won't apply. I'll be filing a complaint with the California State Bar for misleading advertising under Rule 7.1 (Communications Concerning a Lawyer's Services).Potential clients: Look elsewhere for qui tam representation. This firm says they handle it but apparently doesn't.
Update – October 19, 2025 (Ethics & Professional Conduct):
After my original review, I received a written case-declination email from Evans Law dated October 13, 2025, sent by “paralegal-in-training Haley Lewis” and signed by Ingrid Evans. The same message lists whistleblower and False Claims Act cases as a firm practice area—the exact type of case I presented—yet my case was rejected as “not in scope.”
On Sunday, October 19, 2025, at approximately 8:30 a.m. PT, Ms. Ingrid Evans personally called me from a private number to pressure me to remove this truthful review and to “apologize” for her paralegal’s mistake. This was unsolicited, outside business hours, and followed a written declination, meaning no attorney-client relationship existed.
Under the California Rules of Professional Conduct, this conduct raises multiple concerns:
Rule 7.1 – Misleading Communications About Legal Services: advertising FCA/whistleblower expertise while refusing a qualifying case.
Rule 7.3 – Direct Contact with Prospective Clients: intrusive, private-number call to a non-client constitutes improper solicitation.
Rule 8.4(d) – Conduct Prejudicial to the Administration of Justice: using concealed contact to influence or intimidate a reviewer undermines public trust.
This behavior also falls under harassment and potential retaliation prohibited by the Consumer Review Fairness Act (15 U.S.C. § 45b), which protects consumers’ right to post honest feedback.
I have preserved the call log, screenshots, and the declination email as evidence. New Google reviews for this firm now appear to be disabled, suggesting an attempt to suppress public criticism. Everything stated here is factual, documented, and will be submitted to the appropriate authorities for review.

Ingrid Evans, of Evans Law, San Francisco, was so helpful and although she could not take our case, she was willing to take the time out to refer me to others. I only wish we could have hired her on the spot but we are out of her field. 5 star isn't enough

When my sisters informed me that our grandfather’s caretakers had changed his will to their benefit two years before he passed at 103 and that they wanted to hire an attorney to fight it, I was on board. We hired Evans Law Firm. Due to my work schedule, I was rarely able to attend the many phone calls but I was on all the email correspondence. Ms. Evans and her team were very thorough and dedicated to getting the truth. Due to Evans Law Firm’s tenacity, we were able to secure a settlement completely in our favor. I would without a doubt hire Evans Law Firm for Elder Financial Fraud and Abuse cases.

My siblings and I hired Evans Law Firm after we discovered our grandfather’s caretakers had our 101-year-old grandfather change his trust. Evans Law Firm immediately took our Elder Financial Fraud and Abuse case. Ms. Evans has a no-nonsense way of getting to the point, but she does so because she can so clearly see the injustice and it infuriates her. She will then use that as motivation to dig out the truth. And did she! She was a forced to be reckoned with during the depositions and the amount of subpoenaed info she and her team combed through was incredible. Ms. Evans was able to secure a very uncommon FULL settlement in our favor. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Ms. Evans and Evans Law Firm.

While one never really wants to need the services of an attorney, it’s a relief to find the one you know will go to bat for you. When my siblings and I were faced with elder financial fraud and abuse by our grandfather’s caregiver after he had passed, we were angry, hurt, and most of all, lost as to what to do next. A quick Google search gave us a list of elder abuse attorneys, and the Evans Law Firm stood head and shoulders above the rest. We received a phone call within the hour of submitting the online free evaluation form, and thus began our litigation process. After nearly a year of in-depth investigating and depositions, the truth prevailed and a settlement strongly in our favor was reached. So strong, that Ingrid stated that petitioners (us) rarely, if ever, get everything in the settlement they were requesting (which we did). It was only due to Ingrid and her team’s thoroughness and experience in these types of cases that the truth was overwhelmingly in our favor. We appreciated the care, concern, and tenacity of Ingrid and Evans Law Firm, even if the process was one of the most stressful and emotionally taxing any of us have ever faced.

Ingrid is an honest and experienced attorney dedicated to protecting the elderly. She resolved my lengthy and painful elder financial abuse case and helped me navigate through a legal system that can be daunting to someone who has never been through it before. I am forever grateful to Ingrid for taking my case and helping me to protect and reunite with my 90-year-old mother. I wish there were more like her.

Ingrid Evans was a bright light during one of the darkest periods of my life.
Unlike other attorneys I had talked to, Ingrid wasn't taking our case with monetary figures in mind.
Ingrid is one of those rare attorneys who still has a keen sense of justice, and a sense of what is and is not acceptable in a decent society.
She didn't even give me a monetary figure of what the case might be worth. She took our case because she knew that what was done to my mom was an outrage.
Watching Ingrid work is like watching a master artist or skillful warrior at work. I was constantly amazed at how skillfully she not only refuted the opposing lawyers' arguments, but went on the offense getting them on every point of negligence that the people they were defending had committed.
I'm an artist and musician, and I've always admired watching someone who is really masterful at what they do. Ingrid is exactly that in her profession: a master at work in the legal profession. That combined with an empathetic and compassionate heart, makes her a rare person in this day and age.
She's one in a million. She and her team are all very personable as well as professional at what they do.
Besides everything I've mentioned thus far, Ingrid went WAY above and beyond what she was hired to do. She helped me with multiple issues that came up that were not part of our contract. And not just a little bit, but she followed up everything she helped me with all the way, far beyond what any other attorney would have done.
Ingrid is a true humanitarian. She's one of those "hero lawyers" that you see in movies or TV shows that you always hope really exists somewhere, but you rarely find in real life.
I don't know how much time I have left on the earth, but Ingrid Evans is one of those people that will always be a hero in my life's story.
Most sincerely,
Ian B

Event's Law Firm specifically Ingrid Evens and her team of associates have been the best addition to handling the estate's of my deceased. I am a single father of 3, who was never married to the mother of my kids. I struggle financially after the passing of my loved one. I was in fear that the estates that belonged to our children would be claimed by a certain sister sibling(kid's aunt) related to the deceased (mother of my kids). Ingrid Evens called me personally to give me her condolences. She felt the hurt in my heart. Then she and her team went to work. A situation like this should never happen to anyone. The entire evens law firm was there for me and took on my case knowing of my financial situation. I worked tireless to find legal help till I found the evens law firm. This is a team dedicated to making things right. With full legal knowledge and guidance I feel comfortable knowing they are at my side. My heart hurts for the one I love. The evens law firm took care of the rest and reassured me. They guided me in the right direction. I cannot thank them enough. Its was a blessing to have their help. Thank you Evens Law Firm

Evans law firm always had quick accurate responses and gave me wonderful advice while my mother was going threw a tough time. I have used a few lawyers in my past and none of those experiences were anywhere near as pleasant as with Jonathan at Evans law. I felt that everyone I talked to in the firm understood who I was and my mothers needs.
Thanks,

Ingrid Evans is a brilliant attorney and a person of great integrity. Her extraordinary legal expertise, exceptional trial skills, and commitment to justice is only matched by her kindness, empathy, and passion to protect the vulnerable who have no voice.
Ingrid was a key speaker at a Financial Elder Abuse Conference I attended. Every word of her talk was inspiring and exactly what I needed to hear to realize our story wasn’t uncommon.
I shared our story of the nasty legal battle of many years against corporate greed and predatory lending.
The lender/salesperson knew mom and dad were sick and dying. But that didn’t stop him from isolating them from family making it easy to prey on them.
I never suspected that my mom and dad would be the target of a greedy lender and slick salesman who would intentionally deprive them of their home and the comfortable retirement they worked for all their lives. But that was exactly what happened to my trusting parents. Dad was in the last month of his life with terminal cancer and mom had Alzheimer’s Disease and could only talk about her dogs she loved so much.
Without hesitation Ingrid took our case and simply said “It is the right thing to do”.
From that moment she sprung into action. She motivated us when we felt helpless and scared. Her organization of our case brought a sense of calm to our family that served us throughout our legal battles and over the years since. She helped us voice mom and dad’s story to prevent similar experiences from happening to thousands of other seniors.
We are forever grateful to Ingrid. If you even suspect your elderly parents are victims of financial elder abuse, don’t wait until there is a crisis. Call Ingrid Evans about preventing, detecting, and remedying elder financial abuse of your loved ones.

Attorney Ingrid Evans and the Evans Law Firm practice law with integrity. I looked to them because of the superior knowledge and expertise and their ability to get complex legal issues resolved. They know what they are doing and do it well.
