I endorse this lawyer. I have know Angela for many years now. We met as opposing counsel and I quickly learned she was no coward and prepared her case well. Subsequently we have become friends and colleagues exchanging ideas and tips on the various cases we handle. She provides excellent guidance and exercises good legal judgment.

I endorse this lawyer. Angela received her training from the best, late Sorrell Trope, who was the legend among family trial lawyers. Angela not only knows the laws and procedures as a top notch attorney but also has a genuine heart for looking out for the best interest of her client. If you want a lawyer who can win in court but also get you the same result through settlement for half the cost, Angela is right for you.
