Knowledgeable, Professional, and Efficient

I am very happy with hiring Angela Harris to represent me during my divorce. She was available and patient in answering all my questions, and guided me through all the difficult legal options and decisions.

A Class Act

From the moment I met Angela for a consultation I trusted her. She was honest and wasn't afraid to give me her candid advice. Angela always returned my calls timely and was readily accessible to answer my questions. Although my case was complex and we had to deal with an overly-aggressive opposing... counsel, Angela never backed down, maintained her professionalism and kept my case on track. Angela's knowledge of the law and common sense approach far exceeded my expectations.

THE Best Family Law Attorney in LA. She knows the law!

I wish I had Ms. Harris on my side with all of my past court appearances. She knows the law and will always give you her honest opinion and advise you in the right direction. Family court is hard to go through and she always made me feel calm and confident especially after I saw her in action in fr...ont of an awful judge. She's always prepared and extremely efficient with her paperwork, filings and follow ups w/ the opposing sides counsel. She's pleasant to deal and super sweet but a calm bull dog when it comes to fighting for you. She knows family law better than the past 3 other attorneys I've hired in the past and from now on I will ALWAYS have her in my corner if I need to go back to court. She's well worth the money. Do NOT waste your time or money on anyone else. Trust me. I've been through the ringer and Ms. Harris is the best of the best.

Excellent

Angela exceeded my expectations with my divorce from start to finish. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly and answered every question that I had along the way. She is patient, kind and is very knowledgeable in her expertise. I recommend Angela in the highest regard to anyone looking fo...r a family law attorney.

"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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
