Criminal Defense: Unprecedented Success
Everyone is entitled to legal defense and a fair trial when accused of a crime. The Evans Law Firm has over 35 years of experience preserving the rights of the Accused and ensuring our clients receive those promises enshrined in the United States Constitution.
Felony Defense
Have you been accused of a felony crime in the State of Mississippi? The Evans Law Firm is ready to mount the most robust defense possible and protect your rights as the Accused.
Misdemeanor Defense
Don't let one mistake define your future — or your child's. A misdemeanor conviction can follow you for years, surfacing on background checks when you apply for a job, a lease, or school. We defend adults and young adults alike, examining every fact of your case to protect your record and pursue a better outcome.
DUI Defense
The field indicators officers rely on to judge impairment are often misleading, unscientific, and unreliable — and we know how to challenge them. A DUI also threatens more than the criminal charge: the State can suspend your license administratively, often before your court date. We fight on both fronts — defending the charge and moving fast to protect your driving privileges. Act quickly; the suspension window is short.
Record Expungement
If you were arrested or convicted of a crime even many years ago, that record can show up on background checks when you apply for employment, costing you a better future. We can clear your record and offer you a clean slate.
Family Law & Domestic Affairs
The family is the building block of society and includes children and the elderly, who are the most vulnerable of us. The Evans Law Firm provides better outcomes for your family law issues and also your vulnerable loved ones through both counsel and, if necessary. litigation in court.
Divorce
Evans Law represents our clients' and their children's best interests in both no-fault and contested divorce proceedings. Don't go it alone. Let us guide you through this difficult process.
Child Custody & Parental Rights
Circumstances change for parents and children after a divorce or paternity action. Whether you need to modify an existing custody arrangement, or you've lost parental rights through a court order and want to regain them, we can help — through mediation or, when necessary, litigation. Contact us to have your custody terms reevaluated.
Contempt Proceedings
Is your former spouse or partner not following the terms set by the court or failing to pay child support determined by the court? They could be in contempt. Let us examine your circumstances and find a resolution for you, either through mediation or contempt proceedings in court.
Guardianships
Allow a relative, such as a grandparent, certain rights to a child without giving up your own. This can be temporary or permanent.
Emancipation
Emancipations are useful when a minor needs to make decisions on their own, or when they receive a settlement from a personal injury claim but are unable to access the funds of their settlement due to being a minor.
Paternity Action
Legally establish who the father of your child is through DNA and setting a child support amount through the court.
Name Change
You cannot choose your family, but you can always change your name.
Adoption
Become the legal parent of a child who is not biologically yours.
