Description : Robert Evans is Named QC
BRADFORD - When Bradford lawyer Robert Evans read through the Globe and Mail January 1, he found his name listed among about 150 lawyers chosen for appointments to Queen's counsel by the Attorney General of Ontario.
He wasn't exactly surprised by the honor, but was very pleased.
"Appointments are awarded to lawyers who have been in practice for a number of years, and I had applied for it," said Mr. Evans, with the Bradford law firm of Evans and Evans.
Perhaps one reason he wasn't amazed by the appointment is that a number of other lawyers in his family have been similarly honored.
FAMILY
Robert Evans' grandfather T.W.W. Evans started the law firm in 1894 and not only was he named to Queen's counsel (it was then King's counsel because King George V ruled Great Britain) but so were his father Charles, uncle Brock, and his brother Thomas.
Robert Evans was born in Bradford and called to the bar in 1966. Since then he's worked in the Bradford family firm doing most of the litigation work.
An active member of the Progressive Conservative party, Mr. Evans admits the appointment has political overtones, but points out that members of other political parties are also appointed to Queen's counsel.
He told the Witness his appointment was "a mark of experience and was likely considered in light of his other community affiliations.
A member of the York Region Law Association, he was president of that group for two years, and is also active in the Simcoe County Law Association.
ACHIEVEMENTS
A term as president of the Bradford Rotary Club, and another as master of the Masonic Lodge in Bradford round out his list of achievements, and one of the personal highlights he proudly points to is that he was among several businessmen chosen to represent Canada in an Australian exchange program in 1967.
His family of wife Janet, and three daughters, Heather, 6, Jackie, 5, and Pamela, 3, have welcomed other exchange students into their home in past years.
Mr. Evans said he has been proud to watch Bradford growing over the years, and is equally proud of his family's law firm.
Although there are no specific duties attendant with his appointment to Queen's counsel, a few changes will result.
"I'll have to have a new silk gown made up to wear in court, and we'll have to have new letterhead printed with Q.C. after my name," he laughed.
