About Bruce Evan
Bruce Evan Chase earned his J.D. from Rutgers School of Law–Newark in 1978. He took his law degree into a practice that has spanned decades. Colleagues and clients who have worked with him describe a lawyer who values steady preparation and direct communication.
He established his professional base in New Jersey and maintains an office in Hackensack. Over the years he has handled a broad range of matters that commonly reach private practice. His experience has been grounded in the everyday tasks of representation: advising clients, preparing documents, negotiating on behalf of others and appearing where disputes are resolved.
Chase’s early legal training at Rutgers came during a period of change in the state bar. That education provided a foundation in both substantive law and courtroom procedure. He moved from classroom to practice at a time when New Jersey’s legal community was expanding, and he has continued to work in that environment since earning his degree.
People who have observed his work note an emphasis on clarity. He tends to break problems into discrete steps and explain options in straightforward terms. That approach has informed how he prepares for hearings, organizes transactional work and responds to client questions. It is a pragmatic style rather than a flashy one.
Outside the day-to-day practice, he has kept ties to the professional life of the region. Maintaining an office in Hackensack has kept him accessible to clients throughout the area. His presence in the community has been steady, reflecting a long-term practice rather than short-term ventures.
As of 2026 he continues to serve clients from his Hackensack office. He maintains an active practice from his Hackensack office.
