About Angela
Biography
I’ve focused my practice on divorce and family law since 2012, building on earlier experience in civil litigation and service as a prosecutor. My commitment to family law is deeply personal, and I’m driven by the opportunity to empower clients during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. As a court‑certified mediator in multiple judicial circuits, I help clients consider long‑term outcomes and approach their situations from every angle. I prepare for trial from day one, but I always prioritize resolving matters through thoughtful, mutually beneficial agreements whenever possible. Above all, I want every client to feel heard, supported, and understood. I’m genuinely grateful for the work I do and the impact I can make in family law.
Innovative. Efficient. Aggressive.

Flexible, thorough
Angela is an attorney who cares about her clients being treated fairly. She stood up for us when the opposing attorney made it personal.
