My Honest Review

I can’t say enough how much I respect and appreciate Angela & also her paralegal Ann They are an outstanding team. They worked hard and paid attention to every detail and always addressed my concerns throughout the whole 10 month process of my divorce! She worked hard so that I will be able to sta...rt a new chapter of my life comfortably after a 20 year marriage ended. I would recommend Angela without any reservations! She knows her job extremely well and she will fight for you!

Very Intelligent , Expirienced and Professional .

I walked into Angelas office for a consultation and walked out feeling blessed . She took on my case from a previous divorce and had to learn my case from the previous records from day one . She did that exceptionally quick and found results i didnt even know existed . She gave me confidence when i ...was ready to give in . She is Intelligent , Impressive , Professional and Dedicated . She worked day and night on my case and that made me feel as tho I was important . She made a believer out of me when I was giving up on the court system. Angela Baker Evans , is a Intelligent , Outgoing , Professional , Honest Dedicated Attorney . Im Blessed to have Hired her . Her paralegal , Cori is awesome also . Cori was always there for any information or questions i had . They are a wonderful team . If you ever need an attorney in Angela Baker Evans expertise , I Highly Recommend her and her team .

Angela is everything you want: super intelligent, truly cares about your case, extremely committed to you and your case success

Angela is everything you want and need in a lawyer if you want the best lawyer possible to win your case. I say that because Angela has helped tremendously and everything anyone would hope to have in a lawyer: super intelligent; highly experienced; successful; truly cares about your case; extremely ...committed to you and your case success by working day and night and everything else Angela can possibly do to win your case; always extremely impressive in court with presentation, knowledge, quick analytical / legal thinking that screws up opposing councels whole case. Angela will not only impress you but also the judge and opposing lawyers that she is an expert lawyer, extremely passionate, knows her clients case better then anyone else in the room, fights like no other lawyer you could possibly get to win your case. If that is not a description for the best lawyer what is. I love it when Angela makes opposing lawyers look like amateurs struggling to figure out what to do next due to Angela's legal intelligence and unique ability to completely destroy opposing lawyers strategy to the point where they don't know what to do or what to ask and clearly struggling. Do yourself a favor and call Angela. Angela is simply the best.

Consultation only, which is what I wanted. I was not seeking litigation. Ms. Evan answered all questions and without telling me what to do, gave sufficient information to help me towards a course of action. The entire phone consultation was $75.00. Thank you.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
