Awesome family lawyer

Evan Barat helped me with my adoption for my son. She kept everything so calm and graceful even when I was stressed and felt hopeless with the situation.Evan was a rock always calm and gave me back my confidence that things would work out. And they did we had our final hearing and Everything went smo...othly. She is good at what she does and her office staff are very professional. Evan Barat is the lawyer to have for any family law issues that will end up in a court of law. Thank you Evan. My family will always be grateful and thankful.

SUPERB ATTORNEY!

Evan helped with our case from the very beginning. She was instrumental in our 2 family law issues. These were long, drawn-out, complicated cases and she was always there. She is so very sweet but also as tough as they come. She is very knowledgeable and already one of the best attorney's in Tyle...r. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. The entire firm is made up of an awesome team of professionals. But more than that, they are just GREAT PEOPLE.

Caring Child Custody Attorney

Evan Jackson is very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. She exhibited concern beyond our attorney/client relationship. She understood just how much I dislike confrontation and was very capable of taking over when Ms. Moran was unavailable. She encourages and applauds me while imparting words ...of wisdom. I continue to recommend her services -- I'm glad she was with me during such a difficult phase of my life. Although she does not yet have the years to back her up I honestly believe she will make a name for herself here in East Texas as an attorney to be reckoned with. I give God all the praise, honor, and glory for connecting us.

Dedicated, Honest, and Caring

I had an extremely complicated jurisdiction, DV, and custody case that Texas took over after living out of state for over 7 months. After several hearings and two attorneys, both out of state and in Texas, this attorney and Ms. Moran stepped in. Their dedication and hard work on my case saved my ch...ildren from being placed in an unsafe environment. They are professional, honest, and truly care about the cases they take. I have seen first hand how the whole firm takes action on individual cases. I highly recommend Mrs. Barat (Jackson) and this firm.

divorce and child custody

Mrs. Jackson is Ms. Moran's right hand lady! I believe without a shadow of a doubt that their whitty cohesiveness is what won my case. In our meetings it was truly something to be seen watching them work together! Mrs. Jackson is quick, efficient, straight to the point, and has the sweetest disposit...ion all the while. When Mrs. Jackson came to court with us, she matched Ms. Moran step for step, my ex's attorney did not stand a chance against them. They are the definition of teamwork, I could not be anymore satisfied and grateful for their help during such a difficult time!!!
