Noblesville attorney Christopher J. Evans tapped to fill vacated seat
Hamilton County’s newest magistrate was honored with a robing ceremony last Thursday, March 7. Christopher J. Evans was chosen to fill the seat of Judge Andrew Bloch, who was recently appointed to the Hamilton County Circuit Court bench by Governor Eric Holcomb.
Magistrate Evans, a graduate of Noblesville High School, Indiana University, and Cooley Law School, has been an attorney for more than 15 years, most recently as a partner at Dollard Evans Whalin LLP.
“I am deeply honored to have been appointed as a magistrate in the Circuit and Superior Courts,” Magistrate Evans said. “I am eager to serve the community that has been my home for so many years and look forward to ensuring a fair process for all who come before the court.”
Magistrates have duties like judges but are not elected officials. They are hired by judges to assist with county caseloads.
“The Hamilton County Judiciary is excited to welcome Chris to the bench,” Superior Court 6 Judge Stephenie K. Gookins said. “His diverse experience in many areas of law and business will provide a good foundation for the diverse case load that will come before him.”
