Highly Experienced and professional

The circumstances surrounding my divorce made life very difficult. Angela’s counsel helped me clearly understand the legal aspects of the divorce process. Most importantly, her counsel provided me with a guide on how to address the realities of dealing with an ex-spouse. She is experienced and very ...knowledgeable, I highly recommend her.

Second Times a Charm

I hired Angela after I was served papers for a modification of child and spousal support from a previous divorce case. Going through my initial divorce case was a very difficult time in my life and the lawyer I hired for that case didn't help make me feel any better. After what I experienced with my ...first lawyer I knew I needed to make sure I found the right lawyer this time and I was blessed to find Angela. She reviewed my previous case and helped me understand what I needed in this current case. She was thoughtful, honest and understanding of my concerns. In our court appearance she was professional and very confident, advising me the whole time. My initial experience with my previous lawyer was not a good one but my second time with Angela representing me was a charm. I highly recommend her and if I ever need a lawyer again I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

Excellent

Angela made this process very clear and easy which was so helpful because my ex was being difficult. She patiently answered all of my questions during the consultation and made me feel comfortable throughout. She was available via email which was helpful and followed up with updates. I was extreme...ly excited when she called to say that my divorce had been finalized (in exactly the timeframe she gave). I have already shared her information with a close friend.

Best Case Scenario

Mrs. Scarlato agreed to take my divorce and custody case in 2016. It was a complicated case in that there were pre-existing and very problematic legal agreements in place. Angela worked tirelessly with me to address the existing agreements and start new proceedings resulting in a thorough and fair di...vorce and custody settlement. She was available, knowledgable, strategic and compassionate, and took the time to understand my unique needs as an individual and parent. She was particularly successful at negotiating with the other, (quite difficult) party. The divorce and custody agreements were settled in 2017, and contained everything I needed to ensure a stable and secure future for me and my child. I should also note that her fees were incredibly reasonable considering the amount of time she dedicates to her clients and the quality of work. I highly recommend Mrs. Scarlato, especially for cases pertaining to divorce and custody.
