She's very effective

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 Ange...la, 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.

Divorce and Custody

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.

Father's right to see his daughter

After thorough review of many law-firms I hired Angela to represent me during my divorce from my wife involving child custody & support. Being an involved father to a then 3-year old I was afraid to be separated from my daughter. My fear was increased the more I looked at the average outcome of a div...orce for the father = minimal visitation time. Angela took the time to review my case thoroughly. She not only took my fear of loosing my angel but consulted me on how to behave, what to look for & how to prepare myself for the final outcome of my divorce which was crucial during this difficult time. Angela's experienced negotiation with my ex-wife's attorneys led to an equal amount of time I am able to spend with my daughter! Additionally the court order achieved gives me the right to be involved in important life decisions of my daughter. I can proudly say that I am rather an exception within the single father community! Also Angela's support did not stop there. Today, several months later I still can count on Angela's quick & professional consultation if I need it. I recommend Angela Kinley to anyone who is looking for professional, experienced & involved support during a divorce.

Lawyer review

Nobody ever wants to hire an attorney, but it is inevitable. I have hired Ms. Kinley on 2 different occasions and she is FANTASTIC! Thanks to her hard work and skills, I was able to gain custody of my children. She has fought for my family for support and visitation concerns and won both times. She i...s thorough, knowledgable, friendly and takes the worry out of your case. She has helped me immensly with my cases and I could not thank her enough! I have had 2 different attorney's, with my other being one of the best around, but I would recommend Ms. Kinley over ANY other attorney!! Thank you for what you have done for my family! Recommend-Recommend-Recommend!!!!!!!!!!
