Evans Law Group – A Family Serving Other Families as Legal Advocates

Evans Law Group attorneys, John W. “Johnny” Evans, Jr. and Sarah Evans Rushing, are a father and daughter team who share the desire to help people navigate our complicated legal system. They serve clients in a laid-back atmosphere grounded in compassion and respect.

Johnny has practiced law for over 35 years. He was contemplating retirement when Sarah received her master’s in business administration and expressed interest in pursuing a law degree as her next career step. “Sarah’s always been someone who can do just about anything she sets her mind to, so I knew then that I would be delaying retirement to form a partnership and help her build a practice,” shared Johnny. “Together, we bring the best of both worlds --- my longevity with years of hands-on experience coupled with her high energy and most up-to-date legal knowledge and technology applications.”

He believes in family first and enjoys helping other families remedy legal issues. “My wife, Geneva, is a retired Bossier Parish teacher who works with us as a part-time office administrator and is the glue that holds our firm together.” Our family is passionate about helping others build brighter futures.”

Both attorneys focus on client relationships and outcomes. “My first goal with clients is to develop a rapport that makes them feel at ease,” says Johnny. “I try to explain everything in terms they understand. We help guide them through the process and serve as strong advocates who protect their interests. A win for our clients is a win for us because we care about those we serve. Most of the time, we can help clients achieve desired results. However, there are times when the outcome they want can’t be achieved, or the type of case could be better serviced by another attorney, and we let them know that too. Honesty and integrity are at the core of our practice.”

Sarah agrees. “I was inspired to enter the legal field because I saw people drowning in paperwork they didn’t understand,” explains Sarah. “They may be in a nursing home and don’t know how to defend themselves, or creditors might be taking advantage of them because they don’t know how to manage their finances. I want to let people know that we are here to help, and there are steps they can take to get their lives back. Don’t let circumstances overwhelm you. For example, bankruptcy is not a life sentence. If you are ready to make changes, it can be a new beginning and a fresh start. My greatest career reward is when a client we have worked with reaches the other side of their legal issue and is armed with the tools and the confidence to truly move forward.”
