Angela blows away the stereotype of most family law attorneys. I was dealing with a very difficult family situation and she made the divorce as painless as possible. She is very compassionate and understanding but has the boldness to set you in your place when necessary. I will never forget at one point I got aggravated when she wasn't returning my phone calls right away. She scheduled a meeting with me and explained she was being considerate of the cost of returning a response every time I went into panic mode which was frequently. She then helped me calm my senses and work toward mediation instead of court. At mediation her skills really impressed me in her ability to pick out the "fine" print. At that point I realized what she was charging me was worth every penny and more.
Angela saved me. I was served with the family violence act, removed from my home, not to see or contact my child or ex until our court date. We had several court dates where she managed to get temporary orders instead of final orders. Giving me time to sober up, being that getting my ex was trying for full custody on the grounds of alcoholism. She suggested a guardian ad lietem ,and that helped my case tremendously. o even got a DUI during the times of the temporary orders and she still succeeded in getting one more continuance in the in she prevailed and I got my child back in my life. I was asking for joint custody, and I got that plus child support. Angela was very professional and compassionate.

Excellent personality + Excellent service + Excellent Knowledge = Success
'' I had the need to find a good attorney in a divorce case that I was not expecting. Ms. Angela listened very carefully and treats me as she knew how I felt at the initial consultation. Ms. Angela is an exceptionally smart, hard working woman who applies her knowledge in an effective and creative ways. We worked together with the legal process and at the end the truth came out. I have to say that she did excellent job creating an environment of confidence in me to continue with my life. We first worked together with the unexpected divorce and more recently, I have relied on Angela to help me with my assets with confidence that her work is persuasive, thoroughly thought through, well written, and carefully researched."

Top of the line!
Angela represented me through my divorce and again recently for modifications. I have never felt more confident in an attorney. She has handled my case with diligence and compassion, making sure I am protected from every angle. I would not trust the future of my family to anyone else. Truly superior representation!
