Berk Law Group is pleased to welcome Allison “Ali” Evans to the firm as a senior associate. Ali focuses her practice on probate, trust, and fiduciary litigation, representing clients in complex and contested matters involving estates, trusts, fiduciaries, and vulnerable adults.

With more than 15 years of experience in fiduciary disputes and litigation, Ali brings substantial courtroom experience, a deep understanding of Arizona probate law, and a long-standing commitment to serving clients facing difficult and often highly personal disputes.

Returning to Arizona

Ali’s legal career has strong roots in Arizona, and Berk Law Group is excited to welcome her back to the state.

For the past six years, Ali practiced at Kembell Woods & Martinsen LLP, a boutique law firm specializing in estate planning, administration, and fiduciary litigation in Missouri and Kansas. During that time, she expanded her trial experience and represented beneficiaries, fiduciaries, and other interested parties in high-value contested matters.

Her return to Arizona allows her to continue building on an extensive career in trust and estate litigation in the state where much of her practice began.

Extensive Arizona Probate and Trust Litigation Experience

Before practicing in Missouri and Kansas, Ali worked at Becker & House, P.L.L.C. in Scottsdale, where she progressed from associate to partner and litigated contested probate and civil matters throughout Arizona.

Her experience includes matters involving:

  • Will contests and claims involving undue influence and capacity
  • Breach of fiduciary duty and contested accountings
  • Financial exploitation of vulnerable adults
  • Complex trust and estate disputes

Ali has handled cases through every stage of litigation, including discovery, depositions, coordination with expert witnesses, mediation, and trial. That breadth of experience allows her to evaluate cases from both a legal and practical perspective while helping clients understand their options throughout the litigation process.

Commitment to Arizona’s Legal Community

In addition to her work on behalf of clients, Ali has demonstrated a strong commitment to public service and Arizona’s legal community.

She has served as a Judge Pro Tempore for the Maricopa County Superior Court and as Secretary of the Maricopa County Bar Association Probate, Trusts & Estates Section. She has also volunteered with the Probate Lawyers Assistance Project.

These roles reflect Ali’s long-standing commitment to professionalism, service, and the integrity of Arizona’s probate system.

Education and Professional Background

Ali earned her Juris Doctor, cum laude, from Phoenix School of Law and her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Arizona.

She is admitted to practice in:

  • Arizona
  • Missouri
  • Kansas
  • The United States District Court for the District of Arizona

Ali’s combination of Arizona experience, extensive fiduciary litigation background, courtroom experience, and dedication to the legal community makes her a valuable addition to Berk Law Group.

Please join us in welcoming Allison “Ali” Evans back to Arizona and to the Berk Law Group team.
