Attorney at Law

When Angela was a little girl, she loved playing school.  That could explain why today one of Angela's favorite ways to support her clients is by removing the "unknowns" of the legal process.  Whether it is understanding their options, what happens in the courtroom, or simply the meaning of words like "deposition" and "interrogatory," Angela enjoys educating her clients to help them achieve the best possible outcome.

Angela's love of educating isn't limited to clients, judges, or other lawyers. She is an adjunct faculty member at the College of St. Mary's where she teaches family law, legal research and writing, and law office administration.

As a mother of two, Angela understands the hardships parents face in making difficult choices and compromises when it comes to their children.  The inspiration for her work comes from her clients whom she sees overcoming the challenges of their changing families and changing futures.

Angela has a special interest in representing victims of domestic violence.   Angela worked with survivors of domestic violence at the Friendship Home in Lincoln, Nebraska where she was an English Literature major at Nebraska Weslyan University and obtained her  Bachelor of Arts degree.  Angela received her Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Nebraska Law College. 

Angela is co-author of "Advocacy of Nebraska Children with Gay and Lesbian Parents: A Call for the Best Interest of the Child to be Paramount in the Case of Non-Biological, Non-Adoptive Parents" in the Creighton Law Review.

Despite her passion for teaching writing in the legal arena, Angela confesses that she has the most fun when she's teaching her daughters how to write just about anything that can be written in Crayola.
