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.
