Will I still meet with Angela like before?
Angela remains part of the firm in an advisory role, but she is not handling regular client appointments. When it is helpful — particularly for long‑standing relationships or key matters — she may join conversations to provide insight and continuity. Day‑to‑day legal work is handled by our attorney team so clients receive more responsive support.
Why is Angela seeing fewer clients?
Angela intentionally shifted into an Of Counsel role so she can focus on mentoring, relationships, referral partnerships, and guiding the firm’s direction. By freeing her schedule from daily appointments, clients actually benefit from increased attorney availability and efficiency.
Is Angela stepping away?
No. Angela remains part of the firm — simply in a different capacity. She supports the team, nurtures key relationships, and offers guidance when her experience is needed.

No. Records remain securely maintained and accessible — nothing changes for clients.
Did someone buy the firm?
No. This is a partnership created to strengthen the practice, not replace it.
