I can't thank enough Ms. Cox for her support and every possible and impossible effort she made to help our family get reunited. Evelyn represented me and fight for my rights to be with my family in CPS case in Yolo County, CA. She is very knowledgeable about Child Protective Services system, very well respected, very honest and easy approached when you need help.
It isn't a secret that CPS cases are often long, painful, demanding and physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting for every person involved in them. And having an attorney who WILL REALLY FIGHT on your side is critically important! If you or your loved ones ever find themselves involved in CPS case, I highly recommend to contact Evelyn Cox as soon as possible and at least get a consultation with her!
Thank you Evelyn for all your help! It was a real blessing for our family to have you in our case!

AS A GAY COUPLE WITH A FAMILY OF 3 17 YEAR OLDS, MS. COX WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND IN FIGHTING LIKE A BULLDOG AGAINST OUR CPS PROSECUTORS. THE CASE WAS DSIMISSED WITHIN WEEKS ONCE THE PROSECUTION FOUND OUT SHE WAS ON OUR SIDE. BEYOND HER LEGAL ACUMEN AND PROFESISONAL DEMEANOR, MS. COX TRULY CARES ABOUT THE SACRED RELATIONSHIP AMONG FAMILY MEMBERS AND THE SPECIAL ROLE PARENTS PLAY IN NURTURING THEIR CHILDREN AS THEY SEE FIT. CPS IN CA IS A BROKEN, DYSFUNCTIONAL, AND OFTEN SPITEFUL SYSTEM OF MEDIOCRE INVESTIGATORS WITH AXES TO GRIND OF THEIR OWN. MS. COX KNOWS HOW TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD. TRUST ME, AS SOON AS CPS FOUND OUT SHE WAS OUR ATTORNEY, THE TENOR CHANGED IMJMEIDATELY AND OUR CASE WAS DIMSISSED WITHIN WEEKS (AGAINST ALL ODDS, GIVEN CPS' UBRIDLED POWER IN CA). I WOULD GIVE HER A SUPERIOR, BUT THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION PER ABOVE.
LOOK NO FURTHER; YOU WILL NTO REGRET IT.

Grandparents well into 9 months of this case. Having a consultation & hiring Ms Cox is the right Attorney for our case. She has filed & submitting proper documentation. We have a sense of relief. We have hope and we can see light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you Ms Cox. But NO words can express our gratitude!!!!!

I was introduced to Eve during the hardest time in my life. My ex-wife falsely accused me of some outrageous offenses during our divorce. Eve consistently provided sage legal counsel and refused to back down in my fight to clear my name and get my kids back. It’s was a painful time for all of us but every time I walked into the courtroom, I knew Eve would fight the good fight on my behalf. She was confident and came to court prepared to dismantle every accusation against me. I don’t regret for on moment my decision to work with Eve. She helped me attain 50% custody of my children and prevented me from being responsible for paying my ex-wife’s legal fees. If you are in need of a fighter, hire Eve. She puts her heart and soul into her cases and clients. I am a very satisfied client and the life I live today is due in large part because of the hard caught case she own on my behalf. For this, I am forever grateful.

I was fortunate enough to find Eve during a tremulous and trying time. I was in the middle of a custody battle with minimal hope and experienced feelings of sadness . After meeting Eve, my whole outlook and emotional disposition changed. I regained hope, and started to believe that the truth would prevail once again. Eve is very empathetic and always returned my emails and phone calls in a timely fashion.Eve worked diligently and was super professional . Eve has very deep understanding of the law and met each challenge we faced with the upmost confidence and in-depth knowledge. . Although, my case was a roller coaster ride, to say the least, Eve was able to navigate through the messy court process and false statements and we were ultimately successful in obtaining custody. I would recommend Eve to anyone that is need of a honest, fierce, articulate and caring attorney.

I was involved in a very high-conflict, highly-contested custody case with a personality disordered ex-wife. I thought marriage to her was difficult, but I didn’t know how “difficult” she could get until the divorce. I needed someone knowledgable, tough, and persistent to represent me and the best interests of our children; as soon as I met Evelyn Cox I knew I had the right person. Evelyn is compassionate and a great listener, two qualities I needed in an attorney. She is also dedicated, intelligent, aggressive, and articulate, other attributes I sought. She was also able to put her own personal needs aside during a difficult time for her personally and give my case 100% focus; not many people can do that, and she did it with poise and professionalism. Evelyn represented me for several years very successfully and I am beyond pleased with the outcome. Seven years later I am still dealing with the personality-disordered ex. I would absolutely still be using Evelyn if we didn’t move several hours away and into a new county. Choose Evelyn for your own case and you will NOT be disappointed.

My son was taken the week he was born. I had a messy case to start with. No support from family, a very abusive and vindictive father of my child. He purposely had me arrested to “make me look like bad mom they would take my son” Domestic violence and unwillingness to leave the situation lead to my son being detained.
I found Evelyn Cox I knew from our first meeting she would represent me. Evelyn said to me they are not going to give you your baby back. I hired her because she obviously wasn’t giving me a fantasy. This was the reality I knew these people wanted to adopt my newborn without giving me a fighting chance. I told Evelyn I will do the work, and give her the material to fight with. That’s what we have done. Along the way I had some major turning points that were ugly and bad some of these are part my own personal spiritual journey with God. But these events we worked with and my son returned home for family Maintance.
A week before my case was set to be closed, I had a new incident with a new boyfriend I’m really upset with myself because my son is back in the foster home. This time instead of Evelyn telling me there not giving you your baby back she telling me there is hope for my son to return home. The most recent incident doesn’t look good but it’s also not domestic violence I trusted someone with a criminal background because “he mad me feel loved” Parents reading this considering or have hired Evelyn. LISTEN TO HER she told me no boyfriends when I do date tell my therapist about him. Guess what I didn’t do! I didn’t tell my therapist and only told people that wouldn’t tell me straight up don’t date inside your home. Now I’m back fighting for my son again. Lessen learned HARD way... again. Seriously when it comes to our children we have to have and listen to the support that’s the truth and Evelyn tells you how it is not sugar coating.
I believe Evelyn knows the ins and outs of the laws for dependency court tremendously well. Even though she has explained to me that the law has run out of time for this child to be reunified there is still hope it’s always up to the judge.
I hope to write an ending review that my son is home and our case is closed. If that’s not the case it will have been own fault. Evelyn has fought for me hard she has used he knowledge to get things done in my case that otherwise wouldn’t have happened without her.
Evelyn even responds to emails on Sundays! I wrote her knowing I would forget Monday morning, assuming she would respond Monday. She promptly responded! Evelyn has met with me on Saturday’s and office meetings are not billed. These meetings have focused my mindset and prepared us for court. Helpful to me because I have to work toward reunification Monday -Friday and I hired her from out of town.
Evelyn truly cares about her work. Children are innocent in the matters of what the adults do that brings family’s before the judge. Evelyn truly cares about the best interest of the children involved in these cases. It shows through her work ethic, her honesty, and her no BS attitude. She tells you how it is, if you listen and work hard yourself she can and will help you.

Evelyn has been representing my son for almost a year now as he works his way through reunification services for my grandson. This is an very complicated case going back to 2011 and it isn't over yet. Thankfully, Evelyn does her homework and could easily see what needed done to cut through the rhetoric and find a way forward. Her professionalism and honesty is much appreciated.

I am very glad that I hired Evelyn at my attorney.
She is an excellent attorney. She knows how the legal system works because she has a wealth of 20+ years of experience, having worked both sides of the legal system, as a former DA and as an attorney representing parents and kids.
She is a clear communicator; she is direct and provides sound legal counsel. She accurately portrays the challenges of dealing with CPS so that I could protect my family and me.
She knows a lot of other skilled professionals and attorneys; basically, because she’s been around the block, she knows a lot of other trained experts who have helped my family and me. I am thankful to Evelyn and would recommend her.

From the beginning we knew that our CPS case was going to be very hard. On February of 2018 our lives changed forever, CPS came and took my 4 kids and grandson away. We were your normal typical family who never once thought that we would have to go through what we went through. We found Evelyn Cox and we hired her right away, this has been the best money we have ever spent. She was very straight forward and told us right from the start that it wasn’t going to be a easy case. But, she did reassure us that she would do whatever it took to give us our kids back. She fought all the way through while representing my husband and I. She managed to get the judge to give us our twins back, the 2 older kids who were adopted and who got us into this mess in the first place never made it back to our home, which we were very content with. My daughter got her son back, my grandson, because Mrs.Cox referred her to a very good lawyer. Not only did Mrs.Cox reunite my family and I, but she gave us our peace back, she gave me my family back, and I will forever be thankful for that. I not only recommend her as a lawyer, but i encourage those of you who are looking into getting a lawyer to contact her immediately so you can get the help and peace you need.

When we hired Evelyn we were lost, confused, and defeated. Our case was a difficult case to win and the chance of success was very slim. Evelyn was transparent and honest throughout the whole process. She did not promise any specific outcome but we knew she believed in us and she made our difficult situation bearable and eventually won our case. Evelyn fought for our family as if fighting for her own and we knew she cared about our case and our family. We needed a lawyer who knew what they were doing, was the best at it, AND was a genuinely good human being and we found that with Evelyn. She is also well respected in the field. We are incredibly grateful to Evelyn for the work she did on our case and the ally she has become to our family; I truly do not know what we would have done without her representation. My family is complete and my children are home where they belong thanks to the hard work and dedication of Evelyn Cox as our attorney.

I retained Evelyn while trying to get custody of my granddaughter from CPS, From the beginning I felt well informed and confident in her ability to take charge. We were able to get my granddaughter after a motion was filed, placement was moved to me and we were able to finally adopt and close this case!! I highly recommend her and would retain her again!!!
