About
I have been where you are. As a family law attorney who solely focuses on family law, a child of divorce who grew up with my dad, a mother of two children who divorced and went through my own custody lawsuit, and as a woman who is remarried and has two wonderful stepchildren, I have a unique perspective on divorce and custody that can only come from having lived it.I am also an experienced attorney representing families in all areas of family law in Charlotte, NC and Gastonia, NC and Raleigh NC. And a partner attorney at the McIlveen Family Law Firm, which has offices in Charlotte, Gastonia, and Raleigh, NC. I represent families in North Carolina divorce, child custody, child support, post separation support, alimony, equitable distribution, mediation, separation agreements, and more. And I frequently write articles for various publications, including the firm blog, website, and twitter. You might have heard me on the radio or seen me on tv being interviewed in the media on various family law issues.What I want you to know is that you are not alone in this process. If you feel like your life is out of control and you want to find out how to get some of it back, call my office. We can help.

I had the privilege to retain Angela and be represented with a class act, no-nonsense and efficient lawyer that I had complete confidence in. Knowing Angela had my best interest regarding a protective order along with a custody battle sure made the experience less stressful for me. Angela is personable, knowledgeable, and most importantly accessible! She always answers her phone and responds quickly to emails. Her staff is proficient, and I am thrilled with the outcome of my case. I would recommend The McIlveen Family Law Firm to anyone that needs a good lawyer and wants one with a good heart.
I have used Angela on several occasions, and honestly there is no one more organized, thorough, and all around tiger when it comes to killing them in the courtroom. She knows her stuff....she won't waste your time or money trying to do something that she doesn't thing will work. She's upfront and absolutely professional. Not just Angela, but her whole staff. Ice worked with and met several people at her firm, and you will not be sorry!!
Separation/Divorce is a very difficult, hard and emotionlly draining experience, so on my first consultation I was very nervous and really did not know what to expect. When I met with Angela, she put me at ease about the process and what I would need to do and get for her in order to get the process in motion. She was so sincere with me, and with that I felt that I could trust her to have my best interest at heart, which in the end she most certainly did. No matter when I called or questions I may have had, Angela and her staff were very prompt in getting me an answer whether it be on the phone or email, which was very comforting. I must say say she always fought for me, in every aspect of my separation, and made sure I was well aware of my options and the possible outcome. I could go on and on about how wonderful Angela and her staff were, but I will just say she was a great attorney who was very informative and was in my corner, which is exactly what you need in a Separation/Divorce process. I was very well pleased with them and would highly recommend Angela McIlveen to anyone.
I was skeptical that I would be able to win my case being that I am a single dad. Angela assured me that this was a new age and fathers have the same rights as mothers. She is definitely a "go getter" and it shows. I have recommended her to several of my friends and will continue to do so.
Angela handled a very delicate child custody situation for my son. She was straightforward in her information, did not lead us to believe she could do something she could not, and has continued to be very responsive when we've had any questions even 2 years later. We were extremely fortunate to find Angela, and I highly recommend her for any domestic/child related problems you are having.
I would recommend Angela and her team very highly. She sought to arrive at an amicable yet fair separation agreement for me, There are not many attorneys who can successfully represent a male client in a divorce / separation case. Angela is one of the rare ones in that category. She is a good listener, knowledgeable, smart and understands the clients 'must-have's and walk aways'. I will hire her again should the need arise.
I came to Angela for a second opinion on my separation papers. I am so thankful I did. She is very sincere and dependable. She was easy to talk to and helped me understand the entire process. Angela helped with all my legal concerns and she made sure I was protected. She is a wonderful person to work with during a difficult time in my life. I would strongly recommend her to my family and friends.
I had consultations with two other attorneys before meeting with Angela, and each of those meetings felt rushed, confusing, and frustrating. It felt as though my situation wasn't being looked at individually and I wasn't being asked the questions I felt I should. Instead, I was bombarded with general information, much of which didn't pertain to my circumstance. Angela made me feel comfortable, not rushed, and answered all my questions clearly. Following our initial consultation, Angela was always quick to respond to my emails/calls, typically within the same day or the following morning. Having three small children and a fair amount of assets/property, there was a lot of information to weed through. During my lengthy mediating hearing, Angela stayed focused and determined to fight for my best interest, even when I was physically and mentally exhausted and ready to give up after 12 hours in the mediation room. I left mediation feeling confident that things turned out the best they could. Angela is affordable; I spoke to other attorneys that were triple her rate, and showed less enthusiasm and genuine concern. I highly recommend Angela McIlveen for child support/alimony/custody/separation needs, you will not be dissapointed.
I have been a family law paralegal since 2005. I have seen hundreds of cases drag on for years. Angela strives to settle a case the fastest way possible while getting the best result possible for her clients. Angela manages to maintain the quality of her work while pushing the case through the court system. I would hire McIlveen Family Law Firm to handle ANY family law matter for me if I was in need of an attorney. Angela fully understands the law, the judges and how the court system runs. An attorney needs to know all three which Angela does.
I hired Angela for a simple divorce in Charlotte, everything we talked about she never completed, and some papers she filed did not help my case, and her billing was not fair, I would not recommend her.
