Posted by Heather | May 24, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Best Lawyer

I have hired Angie twice now and would hire her anytime I need legal representation for my child custody case. The first time she did everything she could and we won without even having to go infront of the judge. The 2nd time was an emergency hearing and she was on top of it. We went to court and sh...e was well prepared as always to wipe the floor with him and she did and I now have full legal and physical custody of my son. She is no-nonsense and really does everything She can for you and your child. She is an answer to a very long time prayer and I am forever grateful for her. Thanks Angie!

Excellent Lawyer

Helped me out with custody and protection of my daughter who is 4 years old now. I could not imagine what life would be like if Angela had not been involved with this precious little girl and protecting her from evil.

Posted by Courtney | November 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Amazing Person&Amazing Attorney

She goes out of her way and tries her best sometimes more than her best to try to win your case, if you don't when she never gives up. She will keep fighting, she will keep finding L things against the other person I love that about her. Also she will set up a payment plan, unlike other lawyers who... expects you to pay them right away, you could set up payment plans and that helps so much. I will keep using her actually she's going to be my main lawyer. If I need her in a case or at all again I have her information. I will be more than happy to pass it around to anybody that might need her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
