Family lawyer | Nov 14

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have worked with Angela for five years and observed her on a daily basis to be a skilled, experienced, and outstanding attorney. She gives each client personalized attention as if they are her only client, bringing a calming voice of reason to cases that often have an emotional component. Having shifted her focus from primarily family law, where she excelled beyond measure, she has refocused her practice on estate matters, business law, and personal injury. Her skill set is remarkable, as is her experience and wealth of knowledge, and I would recommend her without hesitation."

Family lawyer | Apr 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Morehouse knows the legal system both as an advocate and a "guardian ad litem," an officer of the court who looks out for a child's, or other incapacitated person's, best interest. If you have a family law matter, you'll want her by your side."

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.
