Evan is an experienced litigator with a diverse practice that includes employment law, construction, commercial litigation, business disputes, and personal injury matters (both plaintiff and defense). He is a conscientious advocate for his clients, devising creative and cost-effective solutions to their problems. Given his diverse practice, Evan has tried many different types of cases to verdict in courts in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. However, he recognizes that for many clients, filing suit is a last resort, and works to develop alternative means to resolving disputes.
Evan represents clients across various industries, from food service and distribution to general construction, in a wide range of matters, including breach of fiduciary duty claims and creditors’ rights matters. He regularly handles commercial collections for a number of electrical and other construction industry supply houses. He also represents construction contractors in other matters such as contract review, mechanics’ lien claims, and performance and payment bond claims.
In his employment practice, Evan counsels closely held companies on all aspects of employment law, including employee wage classification, wrongful discharge and Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) issues.
