Wonderful job!

Hired for Divorce

I interviewed three attorneys before meeting Angie. She was fantastic and put me at ease on the first meeting, so I hired her and I’m glad I did! The process was very smooth and I would recommend her to anyone!

Angie Borders Review

Angie was my lawyer in my divorce case. She was exactly what I needed. She told you the truth, she knew what she was about, and as an added bonus she was a part time therapist. I'm glad that I found her as she did a great job for me and got the best results possible.

Don't. Just don't.

I gave Ms. Borders a $5,000 retainer to litigate my divorce. Before I gave her the money, she would return my calls in an apparent attempt to appear responsive, but after I gave her the money, I never heard from her again despite endless calls to her office (23 and counting). I had to hire another... lawyer who is preparing a Request for Investigation against her before the Attorney Grievance Commission. Don't. Just don't.

Of course this is anonymous...probably someone who was on the other side of a case I handled...I can assure you I never took a $5000.00 retainer for ANY case in 2016 as I was a full time prosecutor at that time and not practicing in private practice.
