A peaceful protester was left to bleed out in Seattle after paramedics fled the scene. Evan Oshan asked for $100 million and won $30.5 million against the city — without ever identifying the shooter. In this episode, Evan joins guest co-host Mohamad Ahmad at the TLU Beach House to break down the Antonio Mays Jr. case, including roughly $24 million in non-economic damages. He also shares how he got expelled from Hastings Law School, had the governor intervene to reinstate him, and built the solo practice that took on Seattle. Listen in to hear what it takes to defeat governmental immunity and the thing that actually drives him — it's not the money.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Evan Oshan | LinkedIn☑️ Oshan and Associates☑️ Mohamad Ahmad | LinkedIn☑️ Kermani LLP | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | X☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube2026 Programming☑️ TLU Beach, June 3-6, Huntington Beach, CAEpisode SnapshotEvan discovered he had severe dyslexia late in his college career and spent years learning through tape recordings and one-on-one conversations with professors, rather than reading.After a ruptured appendix knocked out most of his first year at Hastings, Evan returned at his father's urging, failed civil procedure, and was told "No, you're done" — until his father took the dean's letter to the governor, who got him reinstated the following yearEvan struggled with the bar exam at first but eventually passed in Washington state on his first attempt there — a jurisdiction he'd chosen in part because it didn't use multiple choice, a format he found challenging.When Antonio Mays Jr., a Southern California man shot while peacefully protesting in Seattle's CHOP Zone, needed representation, nearly every other attorney had turned the case down; Evan took it anyway, despite threats made against himself and his family.A pivotal win in the case was getting past governmental immunity by establishing that city paramedics delayed the treatment of Mays Jr., which led to his death.Of the $30.5 million verdict, approximately $24 million was in non-economic damages — with no medical bills to anchor the number, only the truth of what Evan's client suffered.Evan is a sole practitioner with an upcoming case against the New York City Housing Authority involving a 2017 Harlem fire that killed six people.Produced and Powered by LawPods
