Ms. Evans represented Wells Fargo Advisors in a dispute with a former financial adviser, Clifford J. Watts, III. Watts had signed a promissory note in favor of his former employer, Wachovia, which was later bought by Wells Fargo. The note provided for payment of the unpaid principal, plus interest upon termination. Watts quit Wells Fargo but refused to pay the balance due on the note, claiming that it was really a bonus and that the terms of his employment were materially changed after the acquisition, forcing his termination.
