Angela Pierce Didonato

When dealing with the Department of Child and family services there is no one better than Angela to defend you. Dealing with the department is one of the most difficult things you’ll ever have to deal with in your life especially when your child means everything to you and Angela was so wonderful an...d compassionate when helping me through it. I would not recommend anybody but her.

My wife and I founds ourselves in a sudden and very difficult situation with local child support authorities. We had lost custody of our infant children unfairly and did not know how to navigate the system to get them back. We found Angela Didonato through a referral and are so glad that we did! A...s a highly experienced professional representing parents in similar situations, she immediately helped us understand the process -- what we could and could not control, what our potential next steps might be and their implications, what the likely timelines would be, etc. We hired Angela Didonato to represent me (each parent must have legal representation) and with her immense help we navigated an arduous legal process to restore parental custody and have the case against us dismissed. There were various points in this journey, with evidence gathering, establishing our rights as parents, negotiations with various parties involved per the local County's process, and eventual court hearing that we simply would not have achieved the results that we did had it not been for her tremendous knowledge, insights and capabilities. We strongly recommend Angela Didonato to other families seeking legal help in children's court.

Angela represented us as foster parents. She was a great advocate for what was in our foster child’s best interest. She really helped us navigate one of the most difficult and stressful periods in our lives and we couldn’t be more grateful. Not only is she a very good attorney and has a lot of connec...tions in the system, but more importantly, she is a really caring person. When we were at court, waiting for our case to be called, she would talk to people she knew and take a genuine interest in them. She encouraged us to meet and get to know some of our foster child’s family, who were supportive of us, and she counseled them as well, in some cases on personal matters unrelated to the case. She walked over to a family that had just finalized their adoption and offered to take a group photo when a selfie just wasn’t cutting it. You can see she cares and has integrity, only taking cases that she feels will make a positive impact. She is very clear and explains things so that we are encouraged and yet have a realistic picture of the possible outcomes. Multiple social workers at our FFA and DCFS involved with our case have since recommended her to others. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I was lucky to find Ms. Didonato. My wife and myself have major teenager problems. We were accused of 11 counts of neglect,and luckly there was no proof other than our teenagers statement.Non the less we still needed to prove ourselves inoccent. Ms Didonato represented me and got me through all the c...ourt dates without me facing any charges. " she is an awesome attorney an a great person" If anyone is have DCFS issues please look no further. Ms. Dionato is the attorney you need on your team.

Ms. di Donato did an excellent and thorough job as a minor’s counsel. In a highly contested child custody battle, in trying to reach child’s best interest she investigated by carefully reviewing past court proceedings, interviewing involved parties including lawyers, therapists, child custody ev...aluator and saw right through the smokescreen that was trying to be created by an alienating mother. I highly recommend her as minor’s counsel in highly contested child custody battles if you want the truth to come out.
