About Evan
Evan Ficaj is a Michigan lawyer who opened his own practice in 2022. He runs a solo firm based in the state and maintains professional ties to public service and private practice.
Ficaj earned his J.D. from Wayne State University Law School after completing undergraduate studies at Eastern Michigan University. At Eastern Michigan he took courses in public relations and arts and entertainment management, an academic mix that has continued to shape how he approaches client communication and business matters.
He began working in law offices as a law clerk in 2018 at Dolenga & Dolenga PLLC. In that role he supported litigators and transactional attorneys through legal research, drafting, and file management. The position offered an early look at both courtroom procedure and the practical demands of running client matters.
In 2020 he joined the U.S. Small Business Administration as a lawyer advisor. There he worked on legal issues affecting entrepreneurs and small companies. The experience gave him direct exposure to federal programs that intersect with commercial operations, lending, and counseling for business owners.
In 2022 Ficaj founded Evan Ficaj Law Office PLLC. He established the firm to provide legal services to clients across Michigan. The office handles matters that reflect his previous public-sector work and his time in private practice.
His educational background in public relations and arts and entertainment management informs a practical approach to client work. That training helps him explain legal concepts in plain language and consider how legal decisions affect public-facing activities. Combined with his SBA experience, it means he often works with entrepreneurs and small-business owners who need clear counsel on contracts, compliance, and transactional issues.
Ficaj’s work spans advising business clients, supporting creative industry participants, and managing routine transactional matters. He maintains an active Michigan practice and operates his law office as the primary vehicle for client representation. His current practice centers on advising small businesses, entrepreneurs, and clients in arts and entertainment across Michigan.
