In this episode of The Legal Edge, host Rob Rosasco sits down with Matt Evans, partner at Evans Law Firm in Annapolis, Maryland. Matt opens up about carrying forward a three-generation family commitment to serving his community through law, and how that foundation shaped his approach to real estate, land use, and construction practice. From learning the business at his father's title company to navigating the challenges that nearly derailed his firm during COVID, Matt shares honest insights about building a practice that truly serves the people who need it most.
