Angela Pierce Didonato

I cannot recommend my children’s court attorney highly enough. During one of the most difficult periods of my life—when I was facing wrongful accusations—she stood by me with unwavering dedication and integrity. Thanks to her hard work, clarity, and strategic thinking, I was able to clear my name and... protect my relationship with my children. What sets her apart is not just her legal expertise, but her genuine care. She consistently puts her clients and, most importantly, the children’s best interests first. She takes the time to truly listen, puts herself in your shoes, and works to understand your perspective without judgment. At the same time, she provides honest, rational, and practical guidance—even when the situation is emotionally challenging. Her communication is clear, thoughtful, and grounded in reality. She doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear—she helps you see the best path forward. Beyond being an outstanding attorney, she is someone you can trust deeply. Through this process, I came to see her not only as my lawyer, but as a great friend who genuinely cares—a rare and invaluable combination. I am incredibly grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone who needs a strong, compassionate, and highly capable advocate.

I was very fortunate to have Angela Pierce di Donato represent me in my child’s case. I knew from the first day that she was the right lawyer to represent me. She knows the law, is always prepared and always had me and my child’s best interest from the biggest things to the smallest things. She a...lways made herself available to keep me updated with everything that was going on and to answer any questions that I had, which I had a lot of. She is trustworthy and there never was a moment that I questioned that during the case. I cannot speak highly enough of Ms. di Donato.

Angela Pierce di Donato is one of the most capable attorneys I know, working exclusively in the child welfare system (DCFS), dependency court, and family court (minor's counsel). She understands highly complex cases, and she is respected by judges, DCFS, and her peers. When DCFS unlawfully took my ...daughter from me, Angela brought her safely home. Above all, Angela cares about the children that are affected by the trauma of separation, conflict between parents, and overall impact of the flawed Los Angeles County judicial system. Angela continues to guide and advise me, as our relationship did not end when the dependency court case closed. Angela is honest, reliable, and acts with integrity; most importantly, she gets the job done right.

I hired Ms. Didonato under desperate circumstances with DCFS. She thoroughly understood my case and skillfully navigated the DCFS maze with expertise and compassion. There is no other lawyer that I would choose to represent me for DCFS custody issues or any other child custody issues. I owe her for ...making my and my daughter's lives the way they are today. I enthusiatically recommend her.

I am forever grateful for and to Angela. I met her at one of the darkest points in my life and going to DCFS, a place I never expected to be. Her professionalism and rigorous work ethic was exactly what I needed with a dependency attorney. And most of all she was kind and supportive of me. I highly r...ecommend working with her and wish whoever is reading this peace and can say wholeheartedly that with Angela you will be in wonderful (and tough) hands!
