She gets results!!!

I've known Ms Sadiyah for over 10 years. On numerous occasions she has done exactly what she said she would do. Most recently I was charged with family member assault. From the very first conversation she said she was going for dismissal no conviction. My case was not only dismissed, it was dismis...sed without me even having to show in court for my last appearance. From experience I can honestly say, if anyone needs a lawyer. She's the one to call. I'm a testament to what she can and will do. Thanks you so much for always having my back Ms Sadiyah ❤️.

Amazing and highly skilled

Attorney Evangelista is a highly skilled criminal defense attorney who will fight for your rights! She knows Texas law and explains things in a way that makes sense and takes the time to communicate with her clients putting their mind at ease. My familyamily member My family member was faced with... two charges domestic violence and terroristic threat. Both charges Both charges had a detrimental impact to his immigration status and green card renewal.Originally he went with the DA who wanted him to accept a plea bargain of jail time and potential deportation However, one he secured the service of attorney Evangelista , she thoroughly investigated his case and was able to get both cases dismissed in one month. Thank you, attorney Evangelista we are forever grateful for your knowledge, expertise and courage to advocate for the best interest of our family member.

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.

The Best Lawyer gets the job done!

I must start off by saying at first I didn’t believe in Justice. I was being Harassed an falsely accused of crimes I did not comment. I just could not believe a court would take on a case that was all made up by this Hateful person it was like my Life was being ripped away from me. An on top of it al...l this same person called cps on me an made more false reports. I just couldn’t get a break that is until I hired Mrs Sadiya Evangilista. She work my case to the best of her ability an her ability was The Best! She worked with my financial situation.And might I add I have a felony background. Both my criminal case an my Cps case were dismissed. Thanks to her an the knowledge of law she has. Even though she can be busy she always took the time to have personal conversations with me outside of my case to let me know that I wasn’t alone and that we were gonna fight this together. She was such a Blessing to my life when I thought I had no hope in this evil plot to destroy me. She became my Voice my Light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Look no further! You found The Best Lawyer Sadiya Evangilista! I will always hire her for any situation that requires her expertise!
