Friendly, extremely knowledgeable

I spoke at length with Angela regarding a variety of high-level issues specific to California estate planning, including a bunch of different approaches to how to handle second-marriage planning and how to treat all the kids. She was EXTREMELY knowledgeable and I really liked her friendly, low-key, ...low-stress style. Terrific.

Ross Fishman

Estate planning lawyer | Oct 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Angela has that perfect combination of big-firm expertise and small-firm care, service, and pricing. She's a great fit for wealthy individuals and families in LA's Beach Cities communities who are looking for a highly skilled estate planning lawyer in a friendly environment where you can trust that the person you hire is the one who will be doing your work. Angela really cares about her work and her clients; she sees the big picture but obsesses over all the little things. She's both strategically creative and detail-oriented, which is a terrific combination in a trust-and-estates lawyer."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
