Angela Pierce Didonato

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 Angela to work on a highly contested child custody case that stretched out over years, involving the Department of Child and Family Services, the criminal legal system, and more. I can honestly say that I would not have made it without Angela. She is an excellent lawyer, smart, practical an...d passionate on behalf of her clients. She's an even better person, whose advice guided me throughout. Highly recommended.

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.
