Frequent reunions with his grade school buddies from the West Side of Cincinnati, regaling his high school glory days, four flourishing years as the college mascot, and culminating in his greatest achievement—persuading his law school sweetheart to move north to Evan’s hometown from the Southern warmth of Georgia to cope with the Ohio cold—Evan meets each new day with passion and commitment, aspirational traits that have guided him throughout his life.

Today Evan’s passion and commitment have been joyfully overwhelmed by two energetic, young daughters whom Evan coaches in volleyball and basketball for their school teams. Away from the house and gym, Evan has committed his time and energy at Cincinnati City Hall as a City Councilmember since his appointment in October 2024.

Evan brings that same passion and commitment to his clients and colleagues at Katz Teller. Being accessible, listening closely, digesting the issues and the client perspective, Evan focuses the team to drive efficient results. For Evan, the greatest professional reward is to play a productive role in achieving a client’s goal and have everyone on the team ready to do it again.

Evan began his legal career as a legislative fellow in U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown’s office on Capitol Hill. Upon returning to Cincinnati, he has built a practice revolving around private company acquisitions, general corporate governance matters, and real estate transactions. His passion and commitment have served his clients and the community well, from private equity backed rollups and emerging growth company acquisitions to meeting the everyday needs of the firm’s corporate clients and the citizens of Cincinnati.
