Michael Evans

For Michael Evans, being a lawyer is not just a career – it’s his heart-felt passion.   Mr. Evans is admitted to practice law in both the Colorado State and Federal courts.  He has conducted over thirty jury trials and has attended the National Institute for Trial Advocacy.   His practice areas include criminal defense, trials, personal injury, civil rights, homeowner’s associations, and medical marijuana law.   

Mr. Evans’ education started at St. Therese grade school in Aurora, which was run by the Sisters of Charity.  He participated in the school speech team, and swam year round with the USS club, MACS.  He then attended Regis Jesuit High School, where swam as a member of the state and national champion Raider swim team, lettering all four years and making the dean’s list.  He also worked part time all four years.

 He continued his Jesuit education in college at Xavier University in Cincinnati with a Division I swimming and academic scholarship.  But after a year, and a twist of fate, Mr. Evans traded in his swim trunks for a pair of boxing gloves, and captained the Xavier NCBA boxing team the remaining three years.   He was also a part of Xavier’s Army ROTC Ranger program, and worked full time all four years as both a swim coach for USS club and ABLY, as well as a local bartender.  During the summers, Mr. Evans returned back to Colorado to intern for the Denver Public Defender’s office.  After earning a bachelor's degree in English, Mr. Evans wanted to gain a business background before entering law school, and immediately enrolled in the master's degree program at Xavier.   While earning his M.B.A, he continued to work full time at Taft, Stettinius, & Hollister and playing for Xavier’s water polo team. 

Mr. Evans, ready to pursue his dream of becoming an attorney, moved to Miami and attended his first year of law school at St. Thomas University.   After the first year, he desired to return back to his home state of Colorado, and he spent the remaining two years at the University of Denver law school with a focus in evidence and trial practice.  While in law school, he also began his own legal investigation company.   He graduated from the University of Denver with a Juris Doctorate degree, and was admitted to practice law in both the Colorado State and Federal courts.  

Mr. Evans received an amazing opportunity after graduating from law school to work at the Denver Public Defender’s Office, where he had previously interned.   In almost three years, he conducted over thirty jury trials, as well as countless hearings and litigated many appeals.   Mr. Evans has practiced in the county, juvenile, district drug courts, as well as in district felony cases.   He has represented thousands of clients in the courtroom.  He was trained by some of the best lawyers in the state, and  has attended the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, NITA.  He is an avid and tenacious litigator. 

In 2009, Mr. Evans joined the Denver law firm of Benson & Case, LLP.  He practices in the areas of criminal defense, trials, personal injury, civil rights, homeowner’s associations, and medical marijuana law.
