Outstanding service and results

No one wants to NEED a lawyer. Angela was recommended to me by an acquaintance at the outset of my divorce. I went into her office confused, upset, and frightened, having never been in a position like this before. Throughout the process, Angela and her staff lived up to their promise...things got... better. My case was handled professionally, they moved it along quickly and came up with an agreement that netted a result which benefitted our side. Communication was outstanding. They paid attention to budget and did not "run up the bill". Even more important, they established trust by meeting deadlines and "doing what they said they were going to do". In court and in meetings with opposing council...Angela shines. She is tough, matter of fact, and cuts right to the point.It put me at ease to have this type of representation. I would recommend Angela in nearly any imaginable circumstance.

Level-headed advocate

Angela Paternostro-Pfister is the consummate professional. She helped me through a contentious parenting situation, and handled it with such grace. Angela was a great advocate for me and my children, and taught me (through her actions) to think first, not react. She diffused many situations for me... and was able to procure a safe, balanced outcome for my children. I cannot be more grateful or recommend her more. Angela is one of the smartest, most honest people I know. I am so impressed by her work ethic and the passion she shows for advocating for her clients just as impressively as she did with my kids. She returned emails at all hours, took the time to answer any and all questions/scenarios I had, and put me at ease during one of the most turbulent times in my life. I am so grateful for her help.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
