About Angela
Biography
Angela L. Haas, founding member of Haas & Associates, PA, was admitted to the North Carolina State Bar in 2002, and upon her admission began her long-standing and successful career in the practice of family law. Her desire is that the clients she represents leave the legal process in a better place and that they feel empowered and in charge of the life decisions they are making. Her passion for helping families through whatever legal issues they face is evident through her compassionate and caring style.
Her practice consists of all matters related to families, both traditional and non-traditional, including matters incident to divorce and child custody, along with surrogacy, adoption and estate planning and probate. Serving both traditional and non-traditional families, Angela has been directly involved in advocating for the LGBTQ+ community during some of the most important and formative years, and has developed an extensive knowledge of the evolution of LGBTQ+ law throughout the United States as well as the State of North Carolina. Haas & Associates, PA is proud to both act as sponsors and contributors to many of the local organizations which promote diversity and inclusion. In the field of artificial reproductive technology, Angela has an in-depth knowledge of donor agreements, gestational carrier (surrogate) agreements, and the entire legal process for parents, donors, and gestational carriers.
She is a member of the American Bar Association, the North Carolina Bar Association, the Wake County Bar Association, and the National LGBTQ Family Law Institute. Angela has been recognized by her peers as an energetic advocate for her clients, and has received accolades from such organizations as the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys, who named Angela as one of the 10 Best Attorneys for Exceptional and Outstanding Client Service in 2020. She has served on several boards in the past, and is currently serving as a board member of the Raleigh Business Professionals Network (Raleigh’s LGBT Chamber of Commerce). Angela enjoys spending time with family, as well as in her workshop creating functional and artistic woodworking pieces.
