Evan W. Walker is a San Diego plaintiff attorney who represents individuals in serious personal injury and major property damage cases, including one of the largest flooding lawsuits in San Diego County history.
Evan has practiced law for almost 20 years. Before founding his firm in 2015, Evan spent years on the other side, defending insurance companies in complex claims litigation, including Hurricane Katrina cases. That experience exposed how insurers evaluate, delay, and deny claims, knowledge he now uses to fight for policyholders and injury victims.
Since 2015, Evan has built his practice on a simple principle: when you hire him, you work with him. No hand-offs to junior associates. No case managers running interference. Direct access, from first consultation to final resolution.
Evan is a recognized voice in California insurance and personal injury law. He appears regularly as a legal analyst on local news, speaks frequently at continuing legal education programs, and contributes to the Continuing Education of the Bar. His forthcoming book on insurance settlements, under contract with James Publishing, is scheduled for release in 2027.
He currently serves on the Board of Directors of Consumer Attorneys of San Diego, one of California’s largest and most influential plaintiff-side trial lawyer organizations, and on the Parish Council of Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church.
Evan lives in San Diego with his family and is proud to serve clients throughout California.
