Prior to joining R&D, Evan was an attorney at a Chicago boutique law firm focusing on real estate and commercial litigation.

Whether it is a small family-owned business or a Fortune 500 company, Evan provides each client with the same amount of attention and responsiveness.

We are still not quite certain Evan's secret to navigating through so many complex legal issues all at once, as was in our case. But the successful outcome he worked hard to achieve for us we are most thankful for and pleased with. Evan is a remarkable blend of patients , listening ears...
