Sound Advice to Provide Peace of Mind and Certainty About Your Future

I have practiced family law exclusively for over 20 years, and as a Board Certified family law attorney, I understand how important it is for clients to have a divorce lawyer they can trust during a highly uncertain time. I earn clients’ confidence by listening carefully to what matters most to them, understanding their goals, and guiding them toward practical, workable solutions that move their lives forward.

I represent executives, business owners, and working parents in complex divorce and child custody matters, often involving significant assets or sensitive family dynamics. My clients want to minimize the impact of divorce on their financial stability and their children, and I help them make informed decisions by clearly explaining their options and likely outcomes.

My goal is to help divorcing spouses thoughtfully restructure their families after divorce—protecting financial assets, preserving important relationships, and creating child-focused custody and support arrangements tailored to their unique circumstances.

How I Help Clients Move Forward

  • Achieve successful results both inside and outside the courtroom through extensive experience in negotiated divorce and litigation
  • Keep cases focused on what matters most, without being distracted by unnecessary conflict or minutiae
  • Develop creative, practical solutions for complex property division and challenging child-related issues
  • Craft customized possession schedules that reflect children’s best interests and modern family dynamics
  • Move cases forward efficiently and strategically through careful preparation and close attention to detail

Client Reviews

I worked with Angel Berbarie for over two years through a long, painful, and complex divorce and custody case. From the very beginning, Angel brought both wisdom and compassion to a situation that felt overwhelming. She is incredibly sharp, strategic, and steady, but also deeply human.

Throughout the litigation process, she stayed focused on what truly mattered.

Her clarity helped me stay grounded and protected when emotions were running high. There were so many moments I didn’t know how I would get through, but Angel was a constant source of strength and guidance.
