Cavalry Co.

I recently had the pleasure of working with an exceptional attorney (Jim) and paralegal (Evodije) who truly knocked the job out of the ballpark. From the outset, their professionalism and dedication were evident, making the entire legal process seamless and stress-free. Jim demonstrated an impres...sive depth of legal knowledge and expertise. His strategic thinking and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the case. He approached each challenge with confidence and competence, providing insightful advice and ensuring that I felt well-informed and supported throughout. Evodije played a crucial role in the success of the case. Her organizational skills were unparalleled, keeping all the necessary documentation in order and ensuring that deadlines were met promptly. Her communication was clear and concise, making the entire process more efficient. Together, this dynamic duo formed a formidable team that truly exceeded my expectations. They were not only proficient in their legal capacities but also displayed genuine compassion and empathy, making a challenging situation more bearable. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work, dedication, and the positive outcome they achieved for me. If you require legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend this attorney and paralegal team. They are not just professionals; they are champions in their field.

To the point.. THIS ATTORNEY GOT ME FULL CUSTODY OF MY DAUGHTER ! That what matters !

His fee's were fair, Jim Evans worked with me because I was on a tight budget and really needed an attorney that could help me . He was very professional,honest,and returned my calls when needed.My case was a fight against a very aggressive ex girlfriend. Jim Evans and the court did the right thing. ... I got custody of my little girl still have her after five years ...Thank's Jim ! This Is A True Statement !

Breach-of-Fiduciary-Duty -Worthless

I would never ever recommend this attorney. He will not fight for you nor work for you. This man delayed my hearings and really did not do much to help my case. I paid this man to file contempt on violate court orders, he would not get proper discovery and THIS GUYS YELLS AT YOU (I have recordings a...nd witnesses) and does let you talk. He would not address nor change nor negotiate the divorce decree. This attorney cost me a lot of sleep, money and was my major problem of my divorce. You hire these guys to help but they make it worst. Overall this guy has violated his fiduciary duty code. Now he's running for Judge??

Knowledgable, Fair, and Friendly

Jim Evans represented me in a child custody modification in Harris County in 2012/2013. I have actually known Jim for over 30 years; which is why I contacted him for my legal needs. Jim was very professional and had strong relationships with the court staff. Jim did not overcharge me to get started a...nd was careful not to waste my money on busy work. Jim is a trustworthy and fair attorney and I recommend him highly.

Professional attorney

Mr. Evans stood behind me 100% of the time throughout my child support case. He gave me very good, knowledgeable, honest advice that prepared me during court settings and trial. I will continue to use him for any future child support issues that may come up.
