About Angela
Biography
After nearly 20 years of legal practice, working in various industries, and life experience, I am wholly mindful of the great responsibility I bear when providing service to those who come in their time of distress. I endeavor to be thorough, compassionate, diligent and professional, and credit much of my success as a litigator to discernment and the prudence to vigorously contest my own position, long before someone else does in front of the jury.
