    Review Angela Kinley

    She's very effective

    Posted by

    I hired Angela to help me get my unpaid child support. She was referred to me by a friend of mine, who is also an attorney in the Atlanta area, and he said she was the best..... I've had other attorneys for the same case and ended up paying a lot of money with very little results. However, with Angela, the prices were fair and real results were accomplished in a small amount of time. Our Judge respected her and she was calm, smart and effective in the courtroom. I would highly recommend Angela and plan on retaining her again in the future.

    Case went great, not perfect, but she was

    Posted by

    Ms. Kinley is somebody I respected within the 1st minute of our initial conversation. She’s intelligent, honest, talented, strategic and the perfect amount of aggressiveness that I’d want in my attorney. She’ll genuinely care about you and your case, is priced very fairly, and legitimately went out of her way to do everything she could to help me get the best outcome I could’ve gotten. My case was a very, very, very tough position to be in, so when everything is said and done, I’m very pleased with how it went, and it truly could’ve gone near flawlessly, had I been willing to take 1 more large calculated risk to win my case outright. I’ll recommend her to anybody who ever asks me about what lawyer they should hire. She’s top level.

    Not enough positive adjectives in the English Dictionary to THANK Angela!

    Posted by

    Not enough positive adjectives in the English language to describe the work Angela did for me, but I will try. Super smart, savvy, intuitive, responsive, hardworking, no-nonsense and fabulous. She is truly the "Shark in a skirt" that I was told she was in the sense that she grabs hold of something and doesn't let go And yet. I came to Ms. Kinly after two other attorneys had failed to move along my case while exhausting my energy, needles to mention a couple of others factors...! Ms.Kinley, did this in part by being willing to risk, She was able to untangle what the other’s had done and put me in a less favorable position.... Thank you Angela!

    Divorce and Custody

    Posted by

    As I was near the beginning stages of finding out my wife cheating on me. I researched lawyers and their level of experience and education and found My Blond Attorney, Angela Kinley. My Blond Attorney took the Divorce to a whole new level of not only educating me but also getting me the equal amount of time of visitation with my kids and made sure everything my wife and I had collected over the years separated accordingly. After several battles in Court with my crazy ex and my ex falling out to move back home 3hrs away. My Blond Attorney help me retain primary custody of my 3 kids with last say and made sure the CS and visitation was setup to my liking. My Blond Attorney is a Great Lawyer and she knows what it means to be on the battle to retain custody. Her education of Law is on point.

    Best Attorney!

    Posted by

    I have hired Angela a couple of times. Once for a criminal case and another for a family law (adoption) case. In both cases she was very professional, friendly, easy to reach, and explained everything in detail. She got us favorable results in both cases! I definitely recommend her And will hire her again if needed.

    The absolute best

    Hiring Angela for my divorce was the best decision I could have ever made. The way she communicates and her professionalism made it so easy to work with her. Definitely made me feel comfortable throughout the process.

    The most professional, expert in trying divorce cases

    Posted by

    Unbelievably intelligent and emphathetic as a communicator/litigator, an expert in her profession and all other superlatives that identify the best attorney. Angela is, indeed, a success in litigating for her clients. Recently, she expedited, through the courts, our daughter's divorce with positive results. Before selecting an attorney to represent you, or a family member, be sure to contact Angela. She is definitely at the top of our list.

    Beauty & Brains!

    Posted by

    What can I say? Angela is absolutely phenomenal!! I've hired her on two separate occasions and both times she has went above and beyond my expectations. If ever I am in need of a brilliant attorney again I would not think twice about hiring Angela. She never gave me false hope and always kept it real with me. She is very compassionate and determined... she is definitely "in it to win it"! If I could rate her six stars I would LOL

    Truly A God Send for my situation!

    Posted by

    I do not know where to begin about Angela. From our first conversation on the phone when I explained to her the situation I was in, she assured me that everything would be ok and would come out in my favor. She took my case with no hesitation even though I didn't have the full retainer fee. She never once treated my case like it was not important due to the fact that I had to pay my retainer in parts. My case was a special one and I needed someone that truly had my back, cared about my future, and that could fight hard on my behalf . Angela was all of that plus more. She continuously went out of her way to help me and make me comfortable throughout this stressful case. In the courtroom she is a BEAST! She comes more than prepared and is very very knowledgeable about the law and about whats going on in the courtroom. Angela doesn't back down from any situation the trial may throw at her and she handles it all professionally and with class , while still being very aggressive at the same time. She punished the prosecutor and WON my case when it seemed like everything was against me. She will do the same for you! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Angela Kinley! She will go the extra mile for you and she is VERY understanding. Truly a "GOD SEND" for my situation and myself. She saved my life and helped me put that situation to a rest, and she will do the same for you! Truly a fighter in the courtroom!
