Overview
Geoffrey Evers began his legal career as a prosecutor in the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, where his case focus was environmental regulatory violations. That starting point, within a government enforcement office rather than a private law firm, shapes the perspective he brings to litigation. Prosecutors understand how agencies build their cases. That knowledge is not lost when a prosecutor moves into private practice representing the defendants and civil litigants who sit across the table from those agencies.
Evers Law Group, P.C. operates from 641 Fulton Avenue, Suite 200C, Sacramento, California 95825. The firm’s phone number is 916-900-1349, and its website is www.everslaw.com/. Geoffrey Evers has been serving clients in Northern California for nearly 30 years, first at an international law firm in Sacramento where he litigated environmental law, labor law, catastrophic personal injury, and complex business litigation cases, and subsequently through his own firm.
The practice is built around complex business litigation. The firm offers a free initial consultation.
Practice Areas
Complex Business Litigation: Partnership disputes and dissolutions, breach of contract claims, fraud, and unfair business practice claims in both state and federal courts represent the core of the firm’s caseload. Geoffrey Evers has represented hundreds of clients in these matters. Business litigation is rarely simple: it typically involves multi-party disputes, voluminous documents, technical financial or industry-specific facts, and the pressure of extended litigation timelines on operating businesses. The firm identifies the full range of litigation strategies available to clients before they commit to a course of action.
Employment Law Defense: The firm defends employers against employment-related claims. California is among the most active states for employment litigation, with a dense body of state law governing wages, hours, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation that creates exposure for employers across industries.
Investment Loss Recovery: The firm handles claims related to investment fraud and losses. These matters can arise from broker misconduct, securities fraud, or fraudulent investment schemes, and they require legal analysis that bridges financial and legal expertise.
Financial Elder Abuse Claims: California law provides specific protections against financial elder abuse, and the firm represents clients in these matters. Elder financial abuse is increasingly recognized as a serious legal issue, and California’s remedies include both civil damages and fee-shifting provisions that make pursuing valid claims economically feasible.
Administrative and Licensure Hearings: Professionals who face administrative proceedings before licensing boards or regulatory agencies receive representation through the firm. These hearings can determine whether a professional can continue practicing in their field, making the stakes comparable to significant civil litigation.
Uninsured Defense: The firm provides representation in cases where insurance coverage is not available, a circumstance that requires direct engagement with the litigation without the procedural intermediary of an insurance carrier.
Professional Malpractice: The firm handles professional liability matters on both the plaintiff and defense sides, including attorney malpractice, accountant malpractice, and other professional liability claims.
Mediation: Mediation is a listed practice area, consistent with the firm’s interest in helping clients evaluate the full range of strategic options available in dispute resolution.
Attorney Profile
Geoffrey O. Evers (Founding Partner)
Geoffrey Evers has more than 40 years of litigation experience. He began his career at the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, where he prosecuted cases with a focus on environmental regulatory violations. This government enforcement background gave him direct experience with how prosecutorial agencies build and present their cases, experience he carried into private practice.
He subsequently joined an international law firm in Sacramento, where he expanded his litigation practice into environmental law, labor law, catastrophic personal injury, and complex business litigation. He relocated his practice to Sacramento permanently and eventually established Evers Law Group.
In addition to his private practice, Evers serves as a Judge Pro Tem in El Dorado County Superior Court. This judicial service role, which involves sitting as a temporary judge in court proceedings, provides him direct experience within the judicial system and an understanding of how judges evaluate cases and arguments. This is not a common credential for a private litigator.
The Sacramento legal community recognizes Evers as a zealous litigator.

What kinds of businesses does the firm typically represent in complex business litigation?
The firm has represented partners in partnership disputes, shareholders in corporate matters, franchisees in disputes with franchisors, trucking and shipping companies, equipment suppliers, farmers, real estate businesses, homeowners associations, contractors, suppliers, and cleaning companies. The common thread is the complexity of the legal matter rather than any single industry.
What does it mean that the founding attorney serves as a Judge Pro Tem?
A Judge Pro Tem is a licensed attorney who has been approved by the court to temporarily sit as a judge. Geoffrey Evers serves in this capacity in El Dorado County Superior Court. This means he periodically decides cases and hears arguments as a judicial officer, which provides direct insight into how courts function and how judges evaluate the cases that come before them. This experience informs how he approaches litigation strategy and case presentation for clients.
Does the firm offer an initial consultation?
Yes. The firm offers a free initial consultation. Prospective clients can contact the firm by phone at 916-900-1349 or through the contact form on its website at www.everslaw.com/.
What distinguishes business litigation from other types of litigation?
Business litigation typically involves commercial disputes between companies or between business partners, shareholders, or other parties with financial relationships. These disputes frequently involve complex financial records, industry-specific facts, and legal theories that require familiarity with commercial law, contract interpretation, and corporate governance. The damages involved tend to be substantial, and the duration of litigation can significantly affect the operations of the businesses involved.
What is financial elder abuse under California law?
California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15610.30 defines financial elder abuse as taking, secreting, appropriating, obtaining, or retaining real or personal property of an elder for a wrongful use or with intent to defraud. California law provides specific civil remedies for elder financial abuse, including enhanced damages and the potential for attorney fee awards, which can make it economically viable to pursue valid claims even when the amounts at issue would otherwise not justify litigation costs.
