Angela Horwath did an amazing job representing me. 
I had 2 old DUI cases that I have been dealing with. I was overwhelmed and am very happy that now I am able to move on. She put a lot of time and research into resolving my cases. I would highly recommend Angela to anyone that needs representation.

I can’t express enough how much Angela and her team have helped me but only that she 100% lived up to her ratings.

This was probably the most stressful thing I’ve ever gone through in my life but Angela was always there to guide me! We got this case dismissed and I could seriously not be anymore happy and satisfied with her services. Very genuine and caring person not to mention amazing at what she does !
