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

I have practiced family law exclusively for more than 17 years, and from experience, I know how important it is for clients to have a divorce lawyer they can trust by their side. I earn clients’ confidence by listening to what matters to them, understanding their goals, and guiding them to workable solutions that move their lives forward. I represent executives, business owners, and working parents who want to minimize the impact of divorce on their wealth and their family. I take the time to discuss options and possible outcomes with clients so they can make sound decisions for their future. My goal is to help divorcing spouses see how they can restructure their families to protect financial assets, keep relationships intact, and create a better situation for children through the development and modification of unique child custody and support plans.

Here’s how:

  • Achieve successful results, both inside and outside the courtroom, through extensive negotiated divorce and litigation experience.
  • Simplify and focus on what’s most important and not be distracted by minutiae.
  • Find creative solutions for challenging family law problems such as complex property division and children’s issues.
  • Craft customized and realistic possession schedules that work for clients in their new family dynamic and represent the children’s best interests.
  • Move cases forward efficiently through exceptional attention to detail and preparation.

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. She saw me not just as a case, but as a mother trying to protect her children and rebuild her life with dignity. Angel plays by the rules and approaches every move with thoughtfulness and strategy. Throughout the litigation process, she stayed focused on what truly mattered. She carefully positioned my case so that the most important aspects were prioritized, instead of getting caught up in drama or reacting emotionally. 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. She fought for me and my children with integrity and discernment, and she always made sure I was informed and prepared every step of the way. She was *always* prepared – for every hearing, every deposition, every motion filed, and so much more. And she SHINED at final trial. If you are navigating a high-conflict divorce or custody battle, I cannot recommend Angel enough.

This law firm is excellent. They (Mrs. Berbarie and her assistant) assisted me with my divorce after 20 years.
