I'm a musician, writer and lawyer from St. Louis who also spends a lot of time in Nashville. For information about my music, see my SoundCloud link at the bottom of this page or go to Evan Schaeffer Music.
In 2018, I thru-hiked the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail and posted videos about my hike at my YouTube channel "Evan's Backpacking Videos." My YouTube channel also contains videos of my recent thru-hikes of the Benton MacKaye Trail and the Sheltowee Trace.
My two books are a Deposition Checklists and Strategies and How to Feed a Lawyer (and Other Irreverent Observations from the Legal Underground). My fiction and satire have been published in Artful Dodge, Runner's World, the Chicago Tribune, the Cincinnati Post, Minnesota Bench & Bar, the Allentown Morning Call, and other publications. I've also published numerous commentary essays and Op-Eds in newspapers like the Chicago Tribune, the Houston Chronicle, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

My law firm is The Schaeffer Law Office, P.C.; further biographical information about my work as a lawyer is here; press coverage about my work as a lawyer is here; press coverage about my work as a writer is here.
Finally, I've spent years writing the The Trial Practice Tips Blog, which together with Evan Schaeffer's Legal Underground (a/k/a Beyond the Underground) received notice in many print publications, including the New York Times and The Economist.
