Evette Hooper

Evette Hooper grew up in East Houston, where she attended North Shore High School. Originally interested in neurological surgery, she received her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University. While there, she was a member of the Order of Omega Honors Society.

After becoming interested in the LSAT and its logic, Evette decided to take the test and did very well. She found her calling and went on to attend the Texas Tech School of Law in Lubbock. During this time, she was a student attorney at the Caprock Regional Public Defender Office, where she represented underprivileged defendants charged with various felony and misdemeanor crimes across six different counties surrounding the Lubbock area. After graduating from law school, Evette returned to Houston to practice in her hometown.

What does “client first” mean to you?
