McKean Evans is a lawyer who handles insurance and ERISA cases as part of his practice at the Law Office of Patrick Mause, PLLC, in Seattle.
McKean grew up in Maine, then attended law school and became a lawyer in Pittsburgh, PA, where he practiced for many years before joining his wife in the Pacific Northwest. He worked for a judge right out of law school, which was a great experience because it got him out of the “ivory tower” and let him see firsthand how the law impacts actual human beings in real life. McKean saw a lot of people suffer because they lacked the time, resources or knowledge to fight the system, but also saw a lot of injustices and problems fixed by good lawyers. Afterwards, McKean joined a law firm helping people litigate cases involving insurance claims, discrimination, civil rights, and more.
Today, McKean focuses his practice on representing people in cases involving insurance claims and ERISA-governed employee benefits.
McKean considers himself lucky to have a job handling interesting cases that matter to real people.
