Gregory Kunkle, Business Attorney on Sep 29, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Ms. France is an excellent attorney in business and litigation matters.

Hugh Johnson, Litigation Attorney on Aug 18, 2009
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I have had the privilege and honor to work with Angela as co-counsel in a contentious litigation matter. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the relevant rules, and command of the courtroom are amongst the best I have encountered in my twelve years of practice. Unlike many litigators, Angela is blessed with the ability to play the “good cop” and “bad cop”, while maintaining the respect of opposing counsel and the bench. Bar none, she is the most ethical lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of working with on a case. Angela is a gifted attorney and a true legal technician. Without hesitation, I highly recommend and endorse her as counsel.
