Evans Dukarich LLP - Tempe, AZ
Evans Dukarich LLP is a distinguished civil litigation practice based in Tempe, Arizona, established in 1990 by veteran trial attorney Steven L. Evans, renowned for tenacious advocacy in probate litigation, trust disputes, professional malpractice, and personal injury claims.
Seasoned Civil Litigation and Estate Dispute Advocacy
When substantial financial legacies, fiduciary obligations, or professional livelihoods are contested in court, having a seasoned trial litigator in your corner is essential. Evans Dukarich LLP, operating from South Priest Drive in Tempe, has represented individuals, beneficiaries, and business owners across Arizona for more than three decades. Led by senior partner Steven L. Evans, an Arizona State University College of Law alumnus practicing since 1990, the firm delivers sophisticated courtroom advocacy backed by early-career insurance defense experience and extensive service as a State Bar of Arizona fee arbitrator. When an inheritance hijacking occurs or an elder faces exploitation, families frequently need a lawyer urgently to freeze contested assets and demand an accounting. Evans Dukarich LLP combines relentless legal analysis with practical problem-solving to protect client rights in high-stakes civil disputes.
High-Conflict Probate and Trust Litigation
The passing of a loved one can expose hidden family discord, especially when unexpected estate revisions or questionable fiduciary actions come to light. Beneficiaries and personal representatives seeking to hire an attorney for contentious probate disputes rely on the firms deep familiarity with the Arizona Probate Code and Maricopa County probate courts.
- Will contests asserting lack of testamentary capacity or undue influence
- Trust litigation involving fiduciary mismanagement, self-dealing, or breach of trust
- Contested adult guardianship and conservatorship proceedings for vulnerable elders
- Accounting demands, asset recovery petitions, and removal of faithless trustees
- Resolving complex estate distribution disputes among heirs and surviving spouses
Professional Malpractice and Commercial Litigation
Professionals are held to rigorous ethical and operational standards under Arizona law. When attorneys, medical practitioners, or corporate fiduciaries breach their duty of care, the financial and personal damage can be devastating. Clients looking to find a lawyer to hold negligent professionals accountable benefit from the firms aggressive litigation posture.
- Legal malpractice actions involving missed statutes of limitations and conflicts of interest
- Medical malpractice claims arising from substandard healthcare treatment
- Commercial contract disputes, partnership breakups, and breach of fiduciary duty claims
- Intellectual property disputes, trade secret protection, and licensing enforcement
Catastrophic Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
In addition to estate litigation, the firm maintains a strong personal injury practice. Victims of severe motor vehicle collisions, commercial truck crashes, and hazardous premises conditions can seek legal representation from attorneys who thoroughly understand insurance defense strategies. The firm pursues full financial accountability for medical expenses, lost earning capacity, and physical suffering.
