About Angela
Biography
The strongest asset I bring to my law practice is my personality. I am diligent and tenacious, and I think "outside the box", which means I will explore all reasonable avenues and alternatives to help my clients get the best results for them and their family. There is no "cookie-cutter" solution to family law so why should a family law attorney approach every single case the same way? I am frank and forthright with my clients, giving them an honest, realistic opinion on what they are facing, not a sugar-coated sales pitch. I firmly believe in educating my clients as to the issues they are facing, good and bad, so that the client can make the best decision for them. After all, they are the ones that will have to live with the outcome, and that outcome will impact the things important to them, i.e. their children, families and financial resources. I have the skills to craft an appropriate settlement agreement where settlement is appropriate, and am an aggressive litigator who will pursue all reasonable angles when a case has to go to trial.
In my spare time, I read voraciously, spend time with my family whenever possible, and am an avid swim team mom.

Angela is the right mix of objective, aggressive and professional. She handled a high conflict family custody case for us and I do not regret one minute of her help.

Knows Her stuff !!
Angela handled my divorce after an agreement fell through with my ex. She had to fight false accusations against me, and with her research, knowledge, and effort, proved everyone of them to be false. Feels much more like a friend that is in your corner, rather than an attorney. As far as being in f...

Experienced, Sharp, and Straightforward
I would highly recommend Angela precisely because she doesn't just tell you what you want to hear. Instead, she gives legal advice in a refreshingly honest and straightforward way so that you know better what to expect and how to deal with what is often such a complicated and unpleasant process.
