Evan Paul joined Nate Amendola Defense after completing his legal education at Boston University School of Law. A Plymouth native and first-generation lawyer with strong ties to the South Shore community, Evan brings valuable courtroom experience and a passionate commitment to criminal defense.
During law school, Evan distinguished himself as a 3:03 Student Prosecutor with the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office in Quincy District Court. There, he conducted a jury trial involving OUI and negligent operation charges, successfully opposed a motion to dismiss, and negotiated plea agreements. This hands-on experience gave Evan invaluable insight into prosecutorial strategy and tactics, which he now applies to defend his clients.
Evan further developed his legal acumen through a judicial externship with the Honorable William G. Young in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In this role, he researched complex legal issues. He drafted bench memoranda and opinions on motions to dismiss in numerous civil cases, including securities fraud class actions, ERISA claims, and Fair Credit Reporting Act violations.
Since returning to our team as a summer associate for the firm while in law school and being sworn into the Massachusetts Bar, Evan has represented clients in various pretrial proceedings, including clerk-magistrate hearings, arraignments, and plea negotiations. He has successfully opposed Commonwealth motions for bail revocation successfully modified pretrial release conditions for clients.
Evan’s legal interests focus on constitutional protections, particularly search and seizure issues under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, and evidentiary challenges involving hearsay, character evidence, and prior bad acts.
Before law school, Evan worked as a Legal Administrative Assistant at Fish & Richardson P.C., supporting attorneys specializing in intellectual property litigation.
Evan earned his Juris Doctor with a concentration in Litigation & Dispute Resolution from Boston University School of Law in 2024, where he served as Articles Editor for the Boston University Review of Banking and Financial Law and received a Certificate in Legal Research Skills for Practice. He completed his undergraduate education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Isenberg School of Management, earning a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management with a double major in Legal Studies in 2018.
When not advocating for clients, Evan enjoys golfing with a respectable single-digit handicap, long-distance cycling around the South Shore, cultivating his collection of variegated monsteras, and exploring the region’s best spots for all varieties of raw fish, especially oysters.
