Outstanding Attorney

I have never had an encounter with the law until I was wrongly accused of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon against a Family Member. No one seemed to listen or believe me. I felt so devastated - until I spoke to Attorney Evangelista. She recorded the FACTS, then skillfully and professionally pr...esented to the prosecutor. She is very intuitive and knowledgeable to your legal needs, calmly communicates a strategic way forward. Praise God, for Attorney Evangelista!! She built a rapport with me, followed up on my numerous requests and kept me and my family informed throughout the entire process. In recognition of Attorney Evangelista preparation, persistence, and personality, the false claims were “No Billed!” Attorney Evangelista acted quickly and made this process seamless. I can never thank her enough for always taking my hundreds of calls a day, keeping me grounded, working quickly and nerve giving up. Her motto is she a warrior lawyer, and we won the battle in four months!!!!! I am proud to have her as my attorney. I was truly afraid to lose my liberty, my son and my future career. As the saying goes, "You never know when you will need an attorney" , but if you do, I would highly recommend Attorney Evangelista to ANYONE who is involved in a criminal matter.

Thank God for Sadiyah!

Sadiyah was GREAT, this was my first time being in trouble and it was a serious charge an SOB case. She was there for me, she made me feel comfortable that she knew what she was doing and that this case would be dismissed. I had to go back and forth from Dallas to Houston for 4 months but at the end ...of the day my case got dismissed like she said. I'm so grateful to have a person like sadiyah in my life I don't know what I would have done without her. Thank you so much sadiyah! Keep up the good work

Angel of God

I had an ASSAULT charge against family member, with a bond of $50,000.00. I called several lawyers we talked but I didn't feel any CONFIDENTIAL.A couple of days two female attonerys postcards came in the mail one was Ms. Evangelista. I spoke with both attonerys but Ms. Evangelista had that assure in... her voice, I knew that was an Angel that God sent. She assured me that I wouldn't be arrested and she will get my case dimissed. I walked in the courtroom, keep in mind I had a felony warrant felony. After many trips to the courtroom, and that $50,000.00 bond ( I paid NO BOND) I only paid my attonery fees. Everything and everytime she assured me nothing was going to happen, and it didn't. The only thing she said would happen did happen. SHE GOT MY CASE DISMISSED. God knew the case and he knew which Angel to send. r me, she issured me in every word that proceeded out of h er mouth.
