Humane, Experienced and Insightful Lawyer

I cannot recommend Angelica Kontoroff too highly. I consulted with her for the last several months on my thorny Power-of-Attorney and Revocable Trust case and was impressed by her legal smarts, ability to frame probing questions, and helpfulness. She was generous with her time and insights. Angelica ...has a great deal of experience in the complex will-and-trust field. She takes a psychological approach to winning cases by getting to know her clients and their adversaries in depth. She is a skilled communicator and a sharp, multi-dimensional lawyer. My sense is that she takes a flexible, individual approach to each case and develops her strategy in a pertinent way, based on the issues, the evidence and the psychology of conflicting parties. On a personal level, I admire her honesty and ability to be a professional without losing her human touch. She is the real thing: a will-and-trust lawyer whose understanding goes way beyond the books.

Strong and Professional Attorney who Cares

Angela is a strong attorney who handled the day-to-day responsibilities of my case extremely well, interviewed witnesses, and negotiated directly with opposing counsel. She was never intimidated, analyzed issues, and took time and care to update me on the latest developments in my case and answer al...l my questions.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Angelica is a relentless advocate for her clients in the field of estate litigation. All too often beneficiaries are having to deal with the passing of their loved ones, only to find out another family member or interloper has absconded with estate assets. Angelica both knows what questions to ask, and how to answer those questions. A wealth of knowledge."

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
