“Hugh Evans was a friend and a respected colleague to so many of us. He knew the law, especially the ethics and elections laws of Alabama. When I say he knew the law, I mean Hugh knew the ethics and election laws like one would know a dear close friend. He understood them and knew their impact. He was never unfair and always a gentleman. Even in an adversarial situation, Hugh was respected by all parties. His answers to legal questions were authority. Hugh Evans was synonymous with Ethic. He lived it, and he will be missed.”
Barry Matson, Executive Director of the ADAA
