Angela Pierce Didonato

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 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!

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.
