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.

AEL in 4 Words: Professional, Knowledgeable, Integrity, Indomitable

Angela and her team have been my rock throughout my difficult legal struggles. Her team has earned my utmost respect in their ability to diligently represent a client. I never thought I'd go through a divorce let alone have to fight for the right to in my children's lives, but they were there for me ...when I needed them. I consulted numerous attorneys in the area before and after consulting with Angela. It was clear to me that no one would represent the long-term best interests of my children better. In the past 2 years I've learned how ugly and complicated family law can truly become. Due to the design of the legal system, and constant curveballs in the case there have been times when I've felt as though this would never end. She never sugar-coated things and was diligent about making sure I was clearly aware of what was happening with the case as well as all potential outcomes. Without Angela's stalwart legal support, I don't believe I would have made it through everything. Her paralegal, Cori, has always been available when I called or e-mailed. Both remain willing to listen to any concerns I have and consistently followed through on anything necessary. I understand that my case is not the only case the team is handles, but everyone at AEL have never made me feel as though my children were not their # 1 focus. In court, Angela's expertise and confidence is clearly on display. She is extremely knowledgeable of the law and stays on-point with matters of fact and evidence. She has stood up for me through unprofessional antics from the other side and I cannot thank her enough for her representation. The words "ethical" or "integrity" are not commonly used when discussing attorneys, but it certainly applies to Angela Evens. If you're in need of a genuinely professional lawyer for your case, I can't recommend AEL enough.

Outstanding performance!

Angela Evans went above and beyond the call of duty! She is very professional and very well versed with the law! I knew she was the right attorney for me within 5 minutes of meeting her for the first time. She managed to negotiate a deal for me, that I didn't think was possible. We didn't even have t...o go to trial, which in return saved me money! Her assitant Cori is top notch as well! The two of them are like the "Dynamic Duo"! I am more than satisfied and impressed with the results of hiring Angela Evans for my representation. I would highly recommend hiring Angela for your legal matters. You will be glad you did!

Excellent attorney

After dealing with another attorney for almost two years for a divorce, Angela did more work, made more progress in just a short time. Very professional and knowledgeable. If you need someone to fight for you, she is the one.

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.
