Angie was very professional and answered all of my questions thoroughly and professionally. I like that she's not frothing at the mouth to go to court like some seem to be, which means a bigger paycheck for them. Don't get me wrong, I believe she'd be formidable in court, but she advocates for a peaceful resolution whenever possible.

Angie was very professional and ethical in her handling of my case. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a good, honest, caring lawyer. Divorce is tough and I can understand people's frustrations with opposing divorce attorneys. However, in my opinion the others posts I've read don't accurately reflect the person who represented me in my case.

Interviewed for very heavy DV case... awful experience- do not recommend.
She has repeatedly brought up arguments that Judge Barnack had said he wasn't going to hear, and even insisting on making arguments that were established by the judge as hurting her own client. For some reason, she had to be told several times again, months later, and was belligerent in continuing her focus of argument throughout the hearing. I've never seen a judge's eyes roll so far back into his head. Angie is a very hateful person who asks leading questions and interrupts even the judge. Hates independent women; hates men who aren't manly enough for her; fiercely hates LGBTQIA+ people. You can check her own petitions on the public records at the Jackson County Courthouse to see her pressing motions to forbid a loving father from supporting his transgender child in any form; it's accessible through the lobby PCs. She was told by Judge Barnack: "Nothing you've said (in your opening statements) was PC," and he's right; some of the baggage Angie will drag into court will make anyone with a modern university education cringe. Angie still did not understand that her comments were inappropriate and continued down that path at every given opportunity. She claimed during a hearing that a transgender boy was not beautiful due to having short hair. She called a laid off father a "kept man." She also neglects to turn off her electronic devices in court and texts during other people's hearings. Majorly unprofessional and no respect for the court.
Blatant and insistent bigotry aside, I had learned from numerous others who had experience in divorce cases that this and other arguments that she brought to court would either be thrown out or cause backlash against her own client, so it seems to me that Angie should know this before she goes to court, as well. Which means that she may (however unintentionally in her naivety) be milking her clients by promising them things that the court won't grant and getting them to pay for multiple hearings with promises that it will work out if you just keep giving her money. Because she makes arguments that even the judge straightforwardly tells her they won't acknowledge in their decision-making but continues on that path with lengthy and obstructive protests of "precedence," she already insists on wasting away whatever hourly rate you're paying her. In which case, she's either a fool or a crook; I don't know which is worse. I want an attorney who will be straight forward with me and only approve of taking me to court if we're going to win with the case they've made, the first time.
The secretary in her office is also pretty incompetent: provided paperwork to serve which wasn't filled out and from a different county. They're dated enough that there's typewriter used in her office and it feels like an 80's dentist office. They also say they'll have paperwork prepared for you, but in actuality will need your presence to prompt them to print it out and describe what you need; they won't be expecting you, no matter what Angie says. If you're wanting to get anything from them, be prepared to wait several minutes for them to get organized with their outdated tech and poor communication.
