About

Danny Evans is a distinguished attorney with a Martindale Hubbell AV rating and 50 years of legal experience. A Birmingham, Alabama native, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Alabama and his Juris Doctorate from the Cumberland School of Law in 1975, where he served as the Executive Editor of the Law Review and was a member of the regional championship Moot Court team. After graduating from law school, Danny worked as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Alabama. He began his private practice in Birmingham in 1978, and in 1992, he founded The Evans Law Firm P.C. to provide legal services to clients from diverse backgrounds.

As a member of the Executive Committee for the Alabama Association of Justice, Danny has tried numerous cases in both state and federal trial courts, as well as appellate courts across Alabama, and boasts an impressive record of success in other states. He has presented multiple oral arguments before the Alabama Supreme Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the 5th and 11th Circuits. Notably, at just 25 years old, Danny became one of the youngest attorneys to appear and argue before the United States Supreme Court.

Throughout his five decades of practice, Danny has consistently managed complex litigation matters, including class actions, professional negligence, medical malpractice, consumer actions, insurance fraud, business litigation, and personal injury claims.
