Evan M.E. Barrett is one of the three managing attorneys at Advanced Legal Planning. His practice areas primarily consist of estate planning (both standard and complex), guardianship and conservatorship, probate, benefits planning, and various matters as they relate to taxes, businesses, and retirement accounts. Evan was born in North Dakota, but soon thereafter his family moved to Idaho where he has lived ever since.

Evan graduated from the University of Idaho in Moscow in 2017, achieving two bachelor’s degrees in just three years – Political Science and Psychology. Afterwards, Evan attended the University of Idaho College of Law in Boise from 2018-2021, where he served as Chief Research Editor of the Idaho Law Review. During the summer after his first year of law school, Evan interned for the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Idaho, where he worked on both civil and criminal federal matters. Evan graduated law school with an emphasis in Intellectual Property law, and was in the top quartile of his class, achieving Dean’s List every semester.

Evan’s older sister was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at a young age and is one of the reasons why he is so passionate about the work he is involved with. Anybody who knows Evan well would tell you without hesitation that his sister is one of his best friends. He and his sister originally met the team at ALP, then C.K. Quade Law, to discuss advance directive documents when he was still an undergraduate student, back at home in Boise for the summer. Little did he know at the time that he would return years later not as a client, but as an attorney.

Not one to let a busy schedule prevent him from enjoying his hobbies, Evan has a wide array of interests outside of the law, including guitar, language learning, music composition and recording, chess, photography and videography, and going to the gym.
