Best Lawyer In New Jersey!!!

Had a life changing injury, that resulted into having to have surgery to repair a broken left ankle. I was given Evan’s contact info thru my workmen’s comp lawyer, from that moment, I was in good hands. Anything asked or needed was handled, I was never left in the dark about the case. And because of ...that, with the help of his assistant Jaclyn Emm, I was able to secure a very significant pay day. I would definitely recommend him and his team to anybody in need of superior legal services. Thank you again Evan!!!

Puts the 'PERSONAL' in Personal Injury Lawyer!

After my husband was hit by a car I was given Evan's number by a friend! I will always be thankful for that! We connected with Evan immediately. He is extremely personable & professional. Him & his team explained everything until we understood. No question was to small or ridiculous. They guided... us through the process every step of the way & never were annoyed by our calls. Evan made us so comfortable to ask questions & wanted only to be sure we understood the entire process. He pushed & would not settle for less than he felt we deserved, acknowledging the difficulties we were going through. We highly recommend Evan & his team & trust you will not be disappointed. We can't speak highly enough of his abilities not only as a lawyer however also as a person who really cares about his clients.

Expertise, care and concern

I called Davis, Spaerstein & Salomon while I was still hospitalized after being struck by a car while walking my dog. Evan Baker arranged to meet me at my home immediately after my release. I have been impressed with his legal expertise and concern for my recovery and well-being throughout our work t...ogether. He and his assistant Karina Gomez walked me through every phase of the current no-fault insurance process, and made sure I was prepared for each one., including a Zoom deposition during the CoVID-19 pandemic. I have always felt confident in Evan's ability and judgment, and am glad he represented me in this matter.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
