Calling her a Warrior Is a Serious Understatement

My fiance was pulled over in my vehicle and charged with Felony Possession of a firearm. After several offers that all included jail time , we decided to seek counseling. Several lawyers offered assistance and each wanted 10k plus an arm and a leg. After leaving court one day I walked in the ele...vator and saw 2 women speaking. One lady asked Ms.Sadiyah what are u doing today? Her response was GETTING MY PEOPLE out of jail.. And that is exactly what she did. She knows the law.. She understands that most families do not have an extra 10,000 to spend on representation. She is a mother and she believes in keeping families together. I dont understand how a woman with such a soft presence can be so STRONG and Assertive. Case Dismissed.. Case Dismissed..Case Dismissed

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

There in my time of need

I hired Attorney Evangelista to help represent one of my family members!!! She took the time to listen to his case, gave me free legal advice before I even hired her. She was prompted at returning calls and answering questions. The case was dismissed!!! She was extremely knowledgeable and professio...nal. I would recommend her if you have a criminal case!!!
