Seasoned Litigators With A Record Of Success
Evangelista Worley, LLC, attorneys have litigated – and prevailed – on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants in complex disputes in federal and state courts. Their experience includes high-value business and class action litigation on behalf of businesses, consumers, bankruptcy trustees, governmental entities, and whistleblowers in cases involving breaches of fiduciary duty, consumer fraud, data breaches, securities fraud, product liability, and antitrust issues.
Our lawyers are results oriented and have a proven track record of success and restitution for our clients. While they typically represent plaintiffs, their broad and deep experience enables them to also represent corporate defendants. Their ability to root out fraud and other malfeasance has enabled them, on several occasions, to turn the tables by identifying and vigorously prosecuting counterclaims for defendant clients.
