With roots in Orléans dating back to 1978, Grandmaitre Virgo Evans stands for quality legal services and a strong commitment to the community. Located on St. Joseph Boulevard between the Caisse Populaire Trillium and the Orléans Medical Centre, the firm is well known for its extensive real estate practice and also offers expertise in wills, powers of attorney, estates, estate planning and business law. The firm's five lawyers are supported by a dedicated and experienced bilingual team of support staff.

Brad Evans is the most senior lawyer at Grandmaitre Virgo Evans, having been called to the Bar in 1980. He and Gerry Dust (now retired) founded the Firm in the 1990s, as Dust Evans.

Brad's practice focuses on Wills and Estates and Real Estate law. He was recently certified by the Law Society of Upper Canada as a specialist in Estates and Trusts Law. This Specialist Certificate is granted to those lawyers in Ontario who have demonstrated to their peers a superior level of knowledge, expertise, and experience in the drafting of Wills and Powers of Attorney, estate planning, and the administration of estates. He is one of only two lawyers in the Ottawa area who holds this distinction.

As further recognition of his experience and expertise in Wills and Estates, Brad was awarded the 2018 International Advisory Experts award for Estate Planning in Canada. Over the years, Brad has contributed to the legal profession by presenting papers at continuing legal education events. Additionally, he has supported his community as past-chair of the Ottawa Mission and the Heart of Orleans BIA, and a Board Member of Arts Ottawa East.
