Practice Areas Description

The Evans Law Firm offers legal advise on the following legal areas:

- Physical Elder Abuse

Abuse of elders takes many different forms, some involving intimidation or threats against the elderly, some involving neglect, and others involving financial scams and exploitation.

- Financial Elder Abuse

Financial elder abuse involves the illegal or improper use of a senior’s funds, property, or resources. At the Evans Law Firm we litigate all types of financial elder abuse including those against insurance agents, insurance companies, banks and their employees, caregivers, and relatives.

- Banking Fraud

The Evans Law Firm handles cases involving banking fraud. Banking fraud can encompass a broad range of deceptive practices and/or banking and financial products. Banking fraud can be committed by a bank agent, financial advisor or insurance agent working at the bank that misrepresents a financial investment or product to a customer in order to generate a commission, it can occur by a bank that sells an investment or financial product to a consumer without full and complete disclosure of the disadvantages of the product, or it can occur by a bank that charges undisclosed, unauthorized or unconscionable fees in association with its products or services.

*Fraudulent Financial Services
Most financial institutions, including banks, sell a number of financial products to their bank customers. Some banks or their agents, however, have engaged in unscrupulous conduct in selling products that do not match the purchasers needs or without adequate disclosure of the products' features, risks and costs. This fraud has occurred with seniors whom are convinced by a bank agent to purchase a long-term financial product called deferred annuity.

*Securities and Stockbrokers Fraud
The Evans Law Firm handles FINRA (Financial Agency Regulatory Authority, formerly NASD (National Association of Securities Dealers)) securities arbitrations on behalf of senior citizens that have been the victims of abusive and fraudulent sales of securities, including the sale of variable annuities.

- Consumer Fraud

The Evans Law Firm handles cases involving consumer fraud. The general concept of consumer fraud encompasses a broad range of deceptive practices and is generally defined as an unfair, fraudulent or illegal business practice that enriches a company or person at the expense of consumers. Consumer fraud can occur in many different segments of the economy including banking, insurance, consumer products and services, manufacturing and distribution with defective products, and telemarketing.

*Credit Card Fraud
Certain credit card companies are charging their credit cardholders for additional services without the knowledge or consent of the cardholders. Services may also be declined or canceled once the cardholder is in need of the benefits provided by the services. Other deceptive practices include certain credit card companies failing to obtain the cardholder's written consent and failing to provide required written disclosures prior to charging the cardholder.

- Insurance Fraud

The Evans Law Firm handles cases for victims of insurance fraud. Insurance fraud can encompass a broad range of deceptive practices and/or insurance products or services. Insurance fraud can be committed by an insurance agent that misrepresents an insurance product to a consumer in order to generate a commission, bad faith by an insurance company when they wrongfully deny a claim or treatment, or fraud by an insurance company when they sell a product to a consumer without full and complete disclosure of the disadvantages of the product.

- Personal Injury

Costly and life-changing injuries can happen to you or a loved one when you least expect it. These personal injuries can devastate you physically, emotionally, and financially. When something happens that is due to the negligence, recklessness, or carelessness of another party or parties, you may be able to recover compensation and seek justice for your injury.
