“I still think about how blessed I was when Attorney Evelyn Portie decided to represent me. It was during a time in my life when I had a legal problem that I couldn’t solve alone. A friend highly recommended her and after our initial meeting, I was convinced she was a warrior who would fight for people and could be the answer to resolving my dilemma. And she did. Her diligence and commitment to my case led to a victory that meant more than I could ever describe. What gave me strength through that time, was the fact that I wasn’t just another client, rather a person who really mattered!”

Evelyn,
A note of thanks for your help on my property dispute issue. I appreciate all of your help with this matter as well as previous cases you have helped me with. If I recall correctly, the first case I met you was when you represented me and multiple other homeowners, including yourself, in what became a large class action lawsuit against industry giant Exxon Corporation in their backyard city of Houston, Texas! Getting a case designated a class action is difficult enough but for you to take on Exxon with their unlimited resources as well as an army of staff attorneys was truly an uphill battle, to say the least. You identified a prestigious Houston Law Firm, convinced them to take on the Plaintiffs’ case and you provided comprehensive oversight of the case to the end. Not only did you take on this challenge, but you won!
After moving to Mississippi, I retained Evelyn to represent me in an employer/employee lawsuit regarding breach of duties, as well as numerous other accusations where she defended me for resigning my position as President & CEO to go into business for myself, etc. I was facing large unfavorable odds against a company that had a large bank account with which to pursue the case. Additionally, my opponents were using the top local attorney in the hometown of the court, as well as attorneys with one of the largest law firms in Mississippi. The odds were definitely against me. However, in spite of the challenges, you once again took on the job, successfully defended me and got this case dismissed.
Evelyn has represented me, both personally and professionally, in employment and contractual matters before the Court against one of the most prominent firms in Jackson. She has provided counsel and guidance on other personal and professional issues as well. I have recommended another who thanked me, sharing with me the incredible results she achieved. Whenever I have needed her help, Evelyn has given it quickly and with excellent results. I've worked in corporate America, as well as for myself, in companies with multi-million dollar sales volumes. I've been around a lot of top-notch attorneys. Evelyn is without a doubt one of the Best attorneys I've ever seen. Evelyn, not only in your office but in the courtroom, you are smart, quick witted, know the law, and have the best “on your feet ability” to make your point or argue a legal strategy I've ever seen! Regardless of the challenge, I've never seen you back down, or be intimidated by opponents or the legal resources the opposing team may have. We consider you not only an excellent attorney but a friend as well. I appreciate all that you have done for me and my family
