She was amazing

Throughout my appeals process with a previous employer, Angela was very supportive, professional, and reassuring. Once I hired her, she showed up with confidence and authority. Before the hearing, she called to make sure I was prepared for questioning, walked me through what to expect, and gave me th...e opportunity to ask any questions I had. Her support helped me feel more confident going into the hearing, and I truly appreciated how prepared and present she was throughout the process.

Unemployment questions

She promptly returned and answered my questions on the same call. I would definitely recommend her services. I was referred to her by a good gentleman that I had done work for in the past. By this person being of good moral character and someone I deemed a trustworthy, I contacted Angela. He definite...ly didn’t steer me wrong. Unemployment isn’t her only specialty. Contact her with your legal matters for prompt and professional assistance.

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.
