Angeli is an angel! I was referred to her by a friend after having some legal trouble, and even though she wasn't in the office, her assistant Matt got right back to me and got all my info so he could look up my case and prepare it for Angeli when she returned. She offered to have a phone chat when she returned, even though it was a Saturday (!), and spoke to me at length about my case and how I should proceed. She explained that due to my clean record and my particular offense, I didn't need a lawyer and gave me some tips on how to get the most out of my public defender. She was so sweet and honest, and I could tell how much she genuinely cares about her clients. I was so impressed and moved by her compassion and willingness to help me, a stranger who she wasn't making a dime off of! I hope to never need a lawyer, but if I do I will not hesitate to reach out to Angeli again, and I would strongly recommend everyone do the same. Thank you Angeli! The world needs more lawyers like you! read more

When someone on Yelp has only 5 star reviews, you know what you're going to get. Disclaimer: I didn't actually contract with Angeli for legal services - she actually told me that she didn't think I needed her help with my case. Meanwhile I had other lawyers ready to take thousands off of my hands, purporting to represent me when I didn't need the representation. Angeli spent a couple different phone calls with me asking about the details of my case, and then advising me on how to proceed on my own. In the end my charges were dropped - given that I hadn't done anything wrong - and I never needed a lawyer, but she had also prepared me on how to proceed should anything change. She was quick to respond to my requests to speak and generous with her time. I came away with solid legal coaching at no cost. I'm convinced that the best lawyer is an honest one who won't take your money when they don't think you need to spend it. I won't even consider another attorney should I need criminal defense representation in the future. read more

Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Sometimes you get lucky enough to meet a REAL Attorney that cares about her clients, engages very professionally, follows up (even on Sundays). Attorney Fitch is ethical (Angeli mailed me a check for overpayment) and she makes you feel like you are her only client. It is not very often in life that we meet professional, educated people that are unpretentious; Attorney Fitch is an exemplary woman. She is very easy to talk with, smart, has a sense of humor and is very emotionally intelligent. If she is your Defense Attorney the likelihood of winning your case is high; however the likelihood that she will take care of you; ease your mind and keep pushing hard for you is even higher. The Staff at the Fitch Law Office is pretty rockin too. It's a small practice but all heart and soul. The Criminal Justice system is horrible as we know it; Attorney Fitch is someone that provides a soft place to land in a land of concrete and black holes. read more

We have a family member, with complex mental impairment, that was arrested for a very serious and violent crime. We were already preparing for a long sentence and almost surrendered our family member to public defenders. We needed an attorney that we could trust, one who is familiar and aggressive with criminal defense, and who is also assertive in developing complex issues. Luckily we were introduced, by our family attorney, to Angeli. Angeli explained that the authorities only get statements from witnesses that would help the DA. Within the same day, she was able to procure a very competent investigator who quickly and effective gathered witness statements favorable to our case. Our case also involved complex medical and psychiatric components. Angeli's expertise in finding compassionate, and courtroom credible, expert witnesses strengthened our case tremendously. Additionally, she was very confident in navigating through obscure psychiatric case law, and mined diligently through evidence to give us the base possible chance for a favorable outcome. In short, not only is Angeli competent and aggressive, she is most importantly compassionate. She immediately gained our trust. She afforded extra attention to family members that needed additional support. Her approach is very holistic and seems to not only concentrate on the legal defense, but also the rehabilitation of the individual and his family. read more

Angeli was amazing she took the time to contact me on a Sunday, the minute she found out about my situation. She explained the proper due process when it came to my situation and she proceeded immediately the next morning on my case. Having Angeli through this terrible situation put me at ease as she made feel comfortable based on what happened, I'm just so delighted that I choose her to represent me as she fought for me and always kept walking me through the process. With Angeli Fitch I never felt ignored or worried she always made sure that she got back to me immediately and answered my concerns. After my case I really realized how screwed up the justice system is and how good information or going for answers is pretty much nonexistent in the justice system. That is why hiring Fitch was the best thing I had ever done. read more

Angeli helped me tremendously and was very patient and generous. She took time to speak with my father and address his concerns. She referred me to an excellent lawyer who specialized in exactly the area I needed help with. As other reviewers have noted, her paralegal Matt Perry is very helpful and responsive. I hope that I never need to hire Angeli, but I would call her firm first if I were accused of something. Thank you Angeli and Matt for helping me during a very difficult time. You really helped my family when we needed it. read more

Angeli really cares about her clients and fights to get cases dismissed. She is the best and it's proven by her results.

Unfortunately I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. I woke up in jail not knowing what I was arreseted for nor what I was being charged with. After spending the day in jail I was released with very little knowledge of what occurred the night before. Scared to death that the charges would ruin my professional career and potentially a termination from my employer, I spent hours looking for a good attorney to fight my case. A close and trust worthy friend recommended Angeli Fitch. I did not waste any time and immediately called Angeli. Angeli was very patient and professional over the phone. She asked a lot of questions about the events that occured the night before and she even asked specific questions that I forgot to bring to her attention, which was critical in my case. After conducing a questions and comments over the phone, we scheduled a next day face to face meeting. I am very close to my family so I brought them along to my appointment with Angeli for support. Angeli has the experience and knowledge to answer all yours questions and explain the different steps your case will go through in the complex court system. Me and my family felt very comfortable around her and felt like she really cares about you and willing to fight for you. My case lasted a year and throughout the whole time Angeli was very supportive. Angeli and I had very good communication and in my personal experience one of best client-customer relationship I have ever had. Thanks to her I saw the light at the end of tunnel and through her hard work, she was able to have my case dismissed. If you are reading this review and in need of help, please contact Angeli. Regardless of the severity of the case or complexity, she will fight for you until the end and will never give up. Angeli thank you very much for helping me during these dark times. My family and I are grateful for all your hard work and dedication. read more

There is a famous quote from Aristotle that said: "The Law is a reason, free from passion". However, for me it is different. Angelis Fitch's passion is the main characteristic that I can use to describe her intelligent reason to work with hight conviction in our Justice System. A couple of months ago I was involved in a discussion in a retail store because I was unable to get my receipt. Unfortunately the situation went out of control and I was arrested. I was charged with Battery and Injuring Telephone Line. Thanks to Angeli the case was moved from the Criminal Court to the Neighborhood Court. In this forum the panel solved the problem and the case was easily resolved. Most importantly, this resulted in no criminal conviction on my record. During the process Ageli was always accessible. She promptly answered all my phone calls and emails, even during the weekends. She guided through the whole process, greatly relieving my anxiety, specially because I was never experienced a situation like that. Thanks to the passion that she dedicated to my case I am a better man every day. I am very thankful to Angeli. She is a kind, wonderful and remarkable person. If you need a criminal lawyer, Angeli Fitch is the best. She will treat you with respect and kindness. There are not many people like her in this planet. People like Angeli make a big contribution in our society. We really need more people like her in this world. read more

Words cannot express the tremendous relief and care Angeli Fitch provided me with my first DUI offense. She was completely professional, sincere, positive, and proactive towards making sure I received the best consequence for my case. I was an emotional wreck and bombarded with work, yet she made every effort to get in touch with me and kept me informed with my case. She thoroughly went over my case with a fine tooth comb to make sure the police reports were fair and accurate. I knew I was being represented by the best of DUI attorneys because Angeli also keeps herself up to date with the latest information on DUI law, and provided an extensive network to help support my defense.
