Community Involvement

The same passion that drives our lawyers to succeed for clients is also evident in our tradition of community service. From health care research and service to at-risk populations to the arts and education, and our ceaseless advocacy for economic development, Davenport Evans is visible and involved. For over 30 years we have given scholarships annually to graduating seniors from schools in the surrounding counties who attend a post-secondary school in South Dakota.
