Angela D. Giampolo

Angela took such good care of us. She worked with my wife and me with the adoption of our second child. In that process she also caught and fixed and error in our first child’s adoption made by a previous law firm. She was kind, clear, timely and supportive. She held our hands through the process of ...setting up our will and making lots of important decisions. We can’t recommend Angela enough! I wish we had found her at the beginning of our adoption journey.

Adulting is not my favorite thing, and yet, by encouragement of my proactive parents and my memory of a distant event, I decided to show up for myself (and ultimately others). My grandparents passed many years ago, and yet I'll never forget bearing witness to their heartfelt grief, which was rudely i...nterrupted by the confusion, angst, and sibling discrepancies when sorting through what was left behind. So, in an effort to continue to protect my loved ones (even after I'm gone), I research what to do next. Bypassing tantalizing cheap web alternatives, I thankfully connected with Angela by way of a stellar recommendation from a bike teammate. And I will now pass on the recommendation to all of you having enjoyed (yes, enjoyed planning for the inevitable) by working alongside Angela. While conventional wisdom holds estate planning only for older, more financially endowed individuals, I quickly learned from Angela, that is not (and should not be) the case. Rather, it's an opportunity for everyone to prepare for a graceful, thoughtful, intentional exit. Seems overwhelming? Perhaps emotionally triggering? I'll agree with those sentiments but share how Angela (and her team), gracefully, thoughtfully, and intentionally helped me hold and work through those hesitations. There was no such thing as a stupid question. No pressure or judgement for the answers I provided. And no rush for finishing, only supported space to mindfully make decisions. Furthermore, Angela embraces this lovely concept of "framily," friends who are just as close as family. If that resonates with you, she'll offer guidance on considering others beyond traditional recipients, i.e., blood relatives. Finally, I cannot fail to mention her strong ties to the Philadelphia community, which I proudly call home too, and her committed desire to advancing equity and championing everyone. So start adulting, it's really not that bad, particularly with Angela (and her dedicated team) by your side.

I reached out to Angela when the pandemic shutdown through a major wrench in divorce proceedings. Within a day of my initial inquiry she had already reached out to me and gotten together my paperwork. She was efficient and incredibly supportive of me through this process. Got everything perfectly str...eamlined and I didn’t have to worry about anything. So grateful to her and I cannot recommend her enough. She takes care of everything, even in the midst of a pandemic. I didn’t have to go down to the city once. She did everything electronically. An awesome lawyer.

My wife and I needed to create a will for our little one and had a wonderful experience working with Angela at the Giampolo Law Group. Angela was very responsive throughout the process and had great advice for us across all estate planning matters: Will, POA, Revocable Trust, etc. She is very sharp a...nd professional, and we had an extremely smooth experience signing the prepared documents in her lovely new office. We were very pleased with the service & outcome, and look forward to working with her again on any future needs.

We worked with Angela to put together a donor contract as we began the process of making a family. We initially tried to do this with template contracts, but this aspect of the law is very complicated, especially if you happen to be gay. Angela did an amazing job of guiding us. The contract she wrote... was brilliant and thorough (and believe me, I never imagined I would call a contract brilliant). She has helped us look further down the road at all the things we will need to do to have legal stability and to ensure our rights as a family. I'm so glad that Angela is our lawyer; I can't imagine how difficult and confusing this process would have been without her. Or rather, I can imagine how hard it would have been and, by contrast, with Angela it has been very clear and approachable. I can't recommend her highly enough.
