The lawyers at Evans & Evans have considerable experience in civil litigation, both at the trial level and at the appellate level. Our lawyers have tried a considerable number of jury and bench trials in most of the judicial circuits in Alabama. Evans & Evans lawyers handle business and commercial litigation of all types as well as regulatory matters before various governmental agencies. We also do litigation consulting in areas where we have developed a particular expertise.

Our firm arbitrates matters for our clients. Many contracts with banks, automobile dealers, contractors, subcontractors, insurance companies, and the like contain arbitration provisions. These contracts require that parties arbitrate their dispute rather than engaging in litigation.

Evans & Evans lawyers have represented clients in over 150 cases in the state and federal appellate courts. These cases cover a diverse range of cases including general damage claims, insurance coverage questions, estate and trust matters, construction disputes, land use controversies, and eminent domain cases.

Lawyers in our firm have substantial experience in real estate transactions and litigation. We do all types of contract review, preparation and negotiation in connection with purchases and sales, due diligence, development, construction, and disposition. A significant amount of our representation involves governmental regulation including, zoning and subdivision regulation, impact fees, permitting, environmental regulation, and licensing.

Real estate professionals are among our clients. We represent surveyors and engineers, builders and developers and brokers and agents before regulatory bodies, in arbitration and in the courtroom.

The lawyers at Evans & Evans have a great deal of experience in handling title insurance claims, including coverage questions, direct actions against insurers, and insured representation. Our partners have been retained as litigation consultants on many occasions.

Governmental agencies and other entities having the power of eminent domain often take private property for public uses through the condemnation procedure. When this happens, a landowner is constitutionally entitled to just compensation. Evans & Evans lawyers routinely appear in the courts protecting these valuable landowner rights.

Natural resources such as oil and gas, minerals, and rights relating to water use and consumption are another important component of our practice.

Transactions and business organization formation and maintenance are an important part of our practice. The transaction practice of the firm varies widely, from corporate and entity purchases and sales to sophisticated real estate transactions and leasing. Our lawyers form various legal entities for our business clients and assist in the maintenance of those entities through offering guidance for their methods of operation and the documentation of those operations. Business entities are formed for reasons; the maintenance of the entities is as important as formation.
