ABOUT CALEIGH

CALEIGH H. EVANS began practicing family law straight out of law school in 2001 when she sought and obtained an associate attorney position in Winston-Salem under the mentorship of one of the most preeminent family law specialists in the state. During those early years of her career at what was then the largest family law firm in the Triad, Caleigh was able to develop her practice surrounded by a team of experts in family law. After years of intensive guidance and training, Caleigh partnered with two well-regarded local family law specialists where they built a thriving firm that grew to become the largest partnership of family law specialists in the area. After fourteen years as a partner in that firm, Caleigh established EVANS FAMILY LAW in late 2021 where she brings more than twenty years of sophisticated larger firm experience handling cases of all sizes and degrees of complexity to now guide those same clients in a smaller, more comfortable setting with a flexible, client-focused approach and highly-personalized attention.

EVANS FAMILY LAW represents clients in Forsyth, Davidson, Davie, Stokes, Surry, Yadkin, Wilkes, Watauga, Avery, and other counties across the state.
