Serving Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho since 1978, Evans, Craven & Lackie has emerged as one of the Northwest's top mid-sized law firms. In fact, Martindale Hubble, the nation’s largest independent rating service, even awarded our firm an AV rating—the highest possible rating—in recognition of our superior legal services.

Our lawyers and staff have earned a reputation for fairness, honesty, professionalism and tenacity, and are committed to producing results.
