Gregory L. Evans, Esq.
Gregory L. Evans has practiced insurance law for more than 20 years. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the firm, and the firm’s clients. Similar to Mr. Vaka’s experience, Mr. Evans has in the past, represented most of the major property and casualty insurance companies in the United States. He has also determined that his experience is better utilized helping clients to successfully resolve their insurance claims rather than using his expertise to further empower the insurers. Mr. Evans has vast experience in both first-party and third-party insurance matters, and also represents firm clients in their efforts to have their claims resolved timely, honestly and fairly by the insurance company.
