About Evan
Biography
Evan Starcevic is Founder and Attorney at Starcevic Law. The law firm stands for the proposition that good dads should have quality time with their kids, and collaborative law protects children from divorce. Evan believes children of families who separate should not be forced to pick sides in their parents’ conflict, that kids should have the opportunity for maximum contact with both parents, and that reducing conflict for separating families helps children grow up to be healthy, successful adults. Evan lives in Johnston, Iowa with his daughter and serves in the local Army National Guard.
