Angela Baker Evans as a litigation attorney.

We used Angela in a litigation matter. She was extremely knowledgeable, patient with us, and professional. Her performance in and out of the courtroom was exemplary. If ever someone needed a lawyer, hers would be the first name out of my mouth.

consultation fee

Ms. Angela was 'under the weather' when she had a consult with us. She spent 45-50 minutes discussing our case, then referred us to another lawyer. She did not charge us one penny, even tho she spent quite a bit of time with us.

Highly recommend Angela Evans Law

I hired Angela Evans and her firm quite literally 4 months prior to a custody trial with my ex husband. Having had a previous attorney who due to medical issues was not able to competently represent me i was left with no legal representation. I met with many attorneys and I did not feel they were re...ally representing me or my children. After my consultation i was certain she was up to the job. Immediately her team of professionals were working tirelessly on my behalf and Angela made every attempt possible to negotiate a settlement and avoid not only the cost of a trial but the emotional toll it has on everyone involved. Unfortunately due to poor representation across the table we went to trial and again Angela and her team eased my nerves, she was bottom line honest with me amd never sugar coated anything which i personally appreciated. After two long days of trial i would say it was a favorable outcome for me... but not just for me for my children and i could not be happier (unless the whole mess never happened.) Angela advocated for me and my children. She was professional to the opposing side and counsel and just prepared all the way around and her team are the same. I would recommend Angela and her firm to anyone!

Did a great Job

I hired Angela to get justice from a repair shop that showed gross negligence in damage done to my automobile. She got the job done. i would absolutely recommend her firm.

Excellent Lawyer

Angela is incredibly intelligent and very knowledgeable about the law. She is very honest and straight forward. I found her to be very passionate and very loyal and dedicated to her clients. She's tough, she doesn't back down, but she is very fair. I would use her again in a heart beat and would ...not have ANY reservations recommending her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
