She counsels employers on issues including preventing harassment and hostile work environment claims, wage and hour compliance, and disciplinary actions. Her litigation work includes defending lawsuits and claims filed by individual employees, and she also regularly defends clients in class and representative action cases involving employment and wage issues.

Evans is active in the local community, and recently handled leadership and operational roles during the merger of the Friends of Balboa Park and the Balboa Park Conservancy, creating Forever Balboa Park. Evans served as the organization’s first co-chair and now leads its diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility working group. Evans previously held leadership roles in the Lawyers Club of San Diego, Border View Family YMCA, Former Friends of Balboa Park, and Crawford High School Law Academy, among others.
