Awesome Lawyer

Angela represented me in getting guardianship of my 11 old year daughter. She is very knowledgeable of the court process and informed me of the proceedings and what to expect. Thanks to Angela, the court awarded me legal guardian of my daughter. I highly recommend attorney Angela.

Very skilled attorney and ALJ

I have known Angela since 2001. She has always been a very knowledgeable and effective attorney. We have collaborated on many cases through the years in unemployment hearings. She does not waste time, but gets the correct results. She is highly respected and relied upon by many other attorneys, i...ncluding myself.

A true advocate

Angela did a great job advocating for me on my appeal case with the UIA. She was very knowledgeable and confident in her representation of my case, explaining the simple process well, so I knew what to expect. She helped me cut to the chase, by turning what had been a highly stressful situation for m...e, into a matter-of-fact list of facts. I highly recommend her.

  • 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.
