Michael Scott Evans

Mike, five years have gone by since you left all of us so quickly.
You are still missed.

I think you wouldn't recognize so many things these days. I think of your often and want your girls to know that there are many times I wish I could just pick up the phone to ask you what you'd do in a particular situation.

I know you're likely having a blast wherever you are.

I was shocked to learn of Mike's death just today. What planet was I living on? I worked with Mike at Legal Aid and Cohne, Rapport & Segal. He was a truly wonderful employer and taught me a lot. He was always fair and knew how to keep the work force light hearted. I am sorry to his family and please accept these extraordinarily late condolences. Rest in peace, Mike.

It's been almost a year since you have gone and I still can't watch the video we show in the Divorce Ed for Parents Class without choking up. The Divorce Ed for Children's Class is going well. We are in the process (slow going you know) of changing the name of it to "Mike's Kids" - I know you would probably laugh about that and tell us not to change it.

Mike, you were the kindest and most fair man I ever knew. Your ability to make sense of the hardest cases, and your creativity when...

Hailey and Erin,

Dave and I were very surprised and saddened to hear about your Dad. We were in Italy, France and the Netherlands from 9-15 to late 10-16. Becky Colvin called and left three messages on our home phone which we listened to on Sunday (10-18.) We are sorry that we couldn't be there to help

It was always fun to watch Lucy and Bella take Mike for a walk; they weren't interested in neighbors talking to neighbors. It was really nice having your family a couple of...

I'm very sad to learn of this. I appeared before Commissioner Evans many times. He did not often rule in my clients' favor, but I generall could not take issue with his rulings. After his retirement I ran into him occasionally, and he seemed genuinely happy. I'm sad that his retirement and service as a mediator was cut short. I'm sad also for the loss and shock his family must feel

Back in 2003 mike made a ruling that was a lifesaver for me. So sad that he had to leave us so soon.
