By far, the most comprehensive, knowledgeable, attentive , effective and aggressive lawyer i have known. She is a great defender, and a tremendous asset to any case.

I chose Morris, Downing and Sherred because of their stellar reputation. Angela Paternostro-Pfister took my divorce case and I was beyond impressed and pleased with the process. The price was more than fair and the staff was courteous and kind. Above all, Angela is an amazing lawyer. Her knowledge and compassion is nothing to be looked over and should only be held in the highest regard. I will recommend this firm to anyone who wants their case to be successfully handled with efficiency and the upmost professionalism.

I met with Angela after being reffered to her by a friend. I was nervous, anxious & felt completely lost in the divorce process. Angela immediately made me feel at ease. From our first meeting, she was easy to talk to, friendly and confident in how to proceed. It’s rare to find an attorney that doesn’t thrive on a good fight.. but she’s doesn’t. Angela was instrumental in diffusing a few bad situations and kept them from getting worse. Her calm & level headed manner kept my entire divorce process a low stress experience. I’m eternally grateful to her for how everything played out for my family. I would strongly advise having a consultation with her so you can see for yourself.

No one wants to NEED a lawyer. Angela was recommended to me by an acquaintance at the outset of my divorce. I went into her office confused, upset, and frightened, having never been in a position like this before. Throughout the process, Angela and her staff lived up to their promise...things got better. My case was handled professionally, they moved it along quickly and came up with an agreement that netted a result which benefitted our side. Communication was outstanding. They paid attention to budget and did not "run up the bill". Even more important, they established trust by meeting deadlines and "doing what they said they were going to do". In court and in meetings with opposing council...Angela shines. She is tough, matter of fact, and cuts right to the point.It put me at ease to have this type of representation. I would recommend Angela in nearly any imaginable circumstance.

Angela helped me with my divorce 4 years ago. Through out the difficult process she always looked out for my best interests and was very kind and compassionate. Angela is a very knowledgeable Attorney and I highly recommend her for any legal issue.

Angela is a great combination of consummate professional and compassionate person. She is a strong, knowledgeable advocate for clients, yet handles her business with grace and dignity. I highly recommend her.

Angela Paternostro-Pfister is the consummate professional. She helped me through a contentious parenting situation, and handled it with such grace. Angela was a great advocate for me and my children, and taught me (through her actions) to think first, not react. She diffused many situations for me and was able to procure a safe, balanced outcome for my children. I cannot be more grateful or recommend her more. Angela is one of the smartest, most honest people I know. I am so impressed by her work ethic and the passion she shows for advocating for her clients just as impressively as she did with my kids. She returned emails at all hours, took the time to answer any and all questions/scenarios I had, and put me at ease during one of the most turbulent times in my life. I am so grateful for her help.

Angela is not just an attorney. She helped me have the courage to get through the most difficult situation I have had to deal with up to this point in my life. She is kind, supportive, encouraging, & listened when I talked. I am grateful to have had her as my attorney. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Ms. Paternostro-Phister was NOT my attorney, but, in fact, my now ex-wife's lawyer. While we were adversaries, she was never anything less than professional, studied and level. She is very knowledgeable and understands the value of research. It's clear that she has a high sense of dedication not only to professional ethics, but also to the quality of her work. Her motion work is well-formed and in my case, tried to bring the sides together to a pragmatic solution. Again, this recommendation comes from the other side of the aisle. I think that, as your attorney, Ms. Paternostro-Phister will provide you with a high level of expertise and as Mr. Gruber mentions in another favorable review, she is indeed a worthy adversary.

My divorce that Angela handled was full of ups and downs. From distribution of personsonal assests to custody of our children. She was professional but, also a friend. She listened to all of my concerns and made sure to explain every question I had regarding court matters. Her office staff is friendly and quick to anwser any questions I had as well as being efficient. I am so happy to have had her as a lawyer. I would highly recommend her to both family, friends and anyone in need of a great lawyer.
