Angela Woodall

My encounter - My divorcing spouse wanted to cherry-pick among our 'same-blood' children during our divorce. Angie's judge-recommendation was to award 'division' of our children, between homes, instead of awarding them to stay together, between homes. --Is that looking out for our children's best int...erests? really?... I unfortunately discovered later I was not the only one she did this to during her practice of law. Ask yourself, who separates young brothers and sisters of the same bloodline? --Angie does I've found, and does it regularly. Caution -check her records.

Angela Woodall is without a doubt the worse lawyer I have ever encountered. Her office looks like it just came out of a cardboard box, She claimed to be an expert on family law but when we went to mediation the opposing counsel schooled her like she was a pre-law undergrad. Every-time she needed a do...cument for my case she asked me to print it because her printer was small and too expensive to use. After it became evident that the divorce was not going to be as simple as she promised she withdrew from the case without notice. If she is your lawyer dismiss her immediately before you get screwed over as well. I am posting this anonymously as I have a pending complaint against her with the GA Bar.

I hired Ms. Woodall in 2017, I told her that I needed an attorney that would have my best interest during my divorce. In my opinion What I got was an attorney who was not knowledgeable about the law and constantly asking for money, though we never made it to court. I continuously asked her what my ca...se status was and have you talked to the other attorney. In my opinion it seemed I would almost have to force her to contact my wife's lawyer. It is my opinion that she was never aggressive, she would say I just need another payment to take us to the end of the case but there was never an end. After almost a year of seemingly no results. I asked her to please remove herself from the case. I filed for a hearing myself and hired another attorney. Surprise, surprise I was divorced in a month. From this new attorney I learned that I didn't have to pay the whole mortgage on a house I didn't live in and that my ex wife should have paid at least half. My new attorney asked why I never got an emergency hearing? She said a judge would have made her pay because she had no vested interests to do so. In my opinion that would have been nice to know from Ms. Woodall. I wound up paying the entire mortgage for a year. Then the new lawyer asked me why I was giving my wife 35% of a house she did not buy, never paid mortgage in, and her name was not on the deed. My new attorney explained that she could have gotten that percentage much lower. In my opinion that would have also been nice to know from Ms. Woodall. Instead Ms. Woodall worked a 65% to 35% split. I never write reviews but I am making a special exception for Ms. Woodall. There are thousands of good attorneys in the Atlanta to Dallas GA area, in my opinion she is not one of them. Save your self some time and money by always check reviews when hiring an attorney. In my opinion run from any attorney with low rating on Avvo and other such sites.

Angela was a court appointed guardian in my child custody case. Over the past year, Angela was a huge part of mine and my family's life. She was very thorough in her investigations, she did not show or allow favoritism, and she stayed in constant contact via phone or email to check in on the childr...en involved. Overall, Angela is very pleasant to work with, she treats everyone with respect, and I would use her again as my own attorney. A+++++++

I have used Ms. Woodall's services twice in the last dozen years in family court. While these situations are never pleasant, I have been satisfied with her work in both cases. It isn't difficult to find an attorney who will run up your bill with phone calls and letters that accomplish nothing. But... many times, you are better served with a more rational, measured approach. Ms. Woodall was excellent counsel with good strategy and methods. She kept me informed and confident that things would work out as we intended. I would definitely use her again.
