    Review Angela Skinner

    Great Attorney

    Posted by

    Angela is an associate of the attorney I first hired to handle my divorce and subsequent custody disputes. Angela eventually represented me in several court appearances. Angela was obviously extremely familiar with the case the first time I met her. She aggressively represented my interests, conducted herself in a professional manner, and was clearly an expert in Family Law. She quoted caselaw off the top of her head in response to the opposing party's arguments, spoke eloquently and confidently, and was at all times focused on getting the best possible resolution for me. I would recommend Angela to anyone needing a Famiky Law attorney.
