Personal Injury Attorney - Evan Banker 5.0 stars

Evan Banker is an Honest, Ethical, Caring Attorney and handled my ski accident with complete professionalism! I would highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for a Personal Injury Attorney. Thank you Evan tor all you help!

Thorough and clear communication

I contacted Evan regarding a personal injury case resulting from an auto accident. Evan provided me honest and unbiased advice and direction. Each case is unique and Evan quickly reviewed the details of my case and determined the best course of action for me. I called numerous attorneys and none came... close to the comfort level and thoroughness which Evan provided me. If you are looking for an attorney that is able to communicate effectively Evan is your go to person. I would highly recommend Evan to anyone seeking representation.

Experienced, Proficient and Diligent

Evan helped me through difficult times while I was severely injured in an out of control skier accident and diligently worked with the insurance company while I was able to heal and get back to work. Although we settled out of court, Evan is very competent and tenacious and will be the attorney that... you want to have protecting your rights in a courtroom setting. I highly recommend Evan Banker.

Ethical, knowledgable and nice too!

I came to Evan with a ski injury case. I was hit by an out of control skier and my shoulder was hurt badly. Evan walked me through the steps I needed to take to see if a suit was even necessary. Fortunately after an MRI, I found out that my shoulder would heal in a couple of months and there wasn't t...oo much damage. Evan was gracious enough to walk me through the process of getting my healthcare deductibles and expenses paid by the skier at fault. It wasn't a large settlement, but it was what I needed and without his helpful advice and calming reassurance, I don't think I would have gotten those things covered. I would definitely call him if I were ever seriously injured in the future.

Evan P. Banker Review

After suffering a shattered tibia and fibula in a ski accident as a result of being hit by an out of control skier, I couldn’t have made a better decision to have Evan P. Banker represent me in my personal injury case. Evan understood my case, my out-of-pocket medical expenses and my expectations. ...He then clearly outlined the legal strategy that would be best to reach our goals and the obstacles which we may face along the way. I was consistently informed of my case’s progress and was given aggressive, realistic and expert advice. I first handedly witnessed the superior skill and knowledge which Evan had over opposing counsel and was frequently reminded that I made the right decision. Evan’s knowledge and skill was not only impressive but produced above satisfactory results. I would recommend Evan P. Banker to anyone who is looking to pursue for their personal injury case.
