I called Angela's office based on a recommendation and we couldn't be happier. She is not only prodessional, but knowledable. She is also personal, in that she makes you feel valued from day one. I would highly recommend her for your legal needs. She has helped us navigate a difficult custody case and found the best solution for our family!

In my experience working with Angela over several years, I am definitely able to say that we have seen a lot when it comes to employment law! As this area can be quite complex and ever-changing, Angela took the time to review each case from all angles and examined any and all implications that her client's actions may have. Angela not only considered the what is legal, but she always valued doing what was fair and ethical! As a very personable woman, she is able to effectively communicate to a wide range of personalities. This has proven to be very helpful when your workforce is comprised of a highly diverse group of employees. Angela's dedication to her profession and her clients is unparalleled.
