Excellent Attorney

I had the honor of working with Sadiyah Evangelista as my attorney in a difficult and emotional legal battle involving my son. Sadiyah is not just a lawyer; she is a compassionate and spiritual person who brought a unique depth to her work. She went above and beyond her duties, fighting the system wi...th unwavering dedication and heart. Her approach wasn’t just legal—she provided emotional and spiritual support throughout the entire process, making a challenging situation more bearable. She understood the importance of my child’s well-being and fought tirelessly to ensure justice was served. I could always count on her to listen, to act, and to push for what was right. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for your child and stand by you every step of the way, I highly recommend Sadiyah Evangelista. She is more than just a lawyer—she is a warrior for families and children, willing to go the extra mile in court and in life.

Theft Case - DISMISSED!!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST ATTORNEY!!! DO NOT CONSULT ANOTHER ATTORNEY!! If you do not hire Attorney Evangelista you will definitely regret it! She is the absolute best, and will tell you the real deal 100%! She accepts nothing less than a dismissal. All cases are definitely not the same, and not all cases ar...e able to be dismissed, however Attorney Evangelista will not stop until she has accepted the best deal possible. She has excellent payment plans for every budget. We are located in one of the hardest counties in Texas, and being African-American in the suburbs outside of Houston was a huge strike. Other attorneys would not even push for a dismissal; stating a dismissal was impossible. The only option was to accept deferred adjudication. Attorney Evangelista said no way, and we were out of there within 20 minutes with a dismissal in hand. Everyone else was there all day and still had their cases either reset or accepted deferred adjudication or probation. Attorney Evangelista is definitely a woman of her word and will not just take your money and not work for you. We love her! CALL HER IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ATTOTRNEY!

Thorough and compassionate

Attorney Evangelista did an excellent job representing our family. She was very calm and thoroughly explained all parts of the process. She actively advocated for my son, put together an outstanding grand jury packet, and was able to secure a “no bill”. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyon...e in need of a criminal defense attorney.

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.
