Great Experience

Hired Angela Trapp for a highly contested divorce with children. Mrs. Trapp listened to understand my case before going into full lawyer strategy. She then explained my options clearly. She is responsive when I have reached out to her about navigating parenting time for my children. I would highly... recommend and will hire Angela Trapp and her team again.

Horrible experience

My son got himself into some trouble and I contacted Zach. He never spoke to or seen my son for 4 months and refused to go and see him until 4 months later and only because I was extremely upset. He refused to put transport orders in for my son. That caused him to do a total of 8 extra months. I try ...to give people grace but I paid them close to 10,000 and they literally did nothing to help.

Will Hire Again!

Angela and her team are ready and willing to help. They will be honest and straightforward with their client. Their experience and knowledge in the courtroom is elite. Angela helped me with a child custody case. I have worked with Angela, Zach, and Brandie. All three are well versed in the cases and... ready to assist each other.

I highly recommend Angela Trapp, be smart hire her.

I am very pleased with my entire experience with this firm. Lawyers don't make miracles, they work with the law. This firm's expertise has made me smarter when dealing with legal issues. Therefore; I know how to gauge my expectations regarding outcomes. If you are willing to learn and take advice... this firm will do a fantastic job. However; if you just want your way (miracles), you should take a moment think before considering legal outcomes. Always remember TV law isn't real world law. They are very professional and reasonable. I have recommended them to my friends and will recommend them in the future. I would like to also add that they saved me a lot of money. I honestly wish you the best with your legal issues.

Brandie David and Trapp Law LLC

Brandie Davis with Trapp Law LLC did more than what I could have ever expected from any attorney with my case. She listened to me and did everything she could for me to get my children back. She was so knowledgeable, professional, and knew exactly what to ask and how to direct her questions to make ...our case and she did just that. I look forward to working more with her as she truly cares for her clients and does an outstanding job both in and out of court!!! Thank you Brandie and Trapp Law LLC for all you do!
