I'm incredibly grateful for the guidance and support I received from this Angelo J. Lagorio during a very difficult time in my life. When I first reached out, I was in a fragile state navigating a divorce involving domestic violence. Even though he wasn't able to take my case, he generously offered a free consultation where he not only helped validate my overall approach, but also showed genuine compassion and understanding. What stood out was his willingness to go a step further--he helped me sanity-check the lawyer I was planning to hire, which gave me much-needed confidence in my next steps. Six months later, when I found myself struggling with a lack of responsiveness from my attorney and growing concerned about delays, I reached out again to see possible options and if switching lawyer would be necessary. Once again, he was incredibly generous with his time. He didn't just listen--he provided clear, practical strategies that helped me re-engage my lawyer effectively. As a result, my case moved forward and was ultimately resolved within two months. One time, I was so stuck, Angelo called me immediately when he saw my message without any charges. I also really appreciated how thoughtful and efficient he was in preparing for the consultations. The information he requested ahead of time ensured that our conversations were focused and made the best possible use of investment made. His professionalism, empathy, and willingness to help--even without taking on the case--truly set him apart. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate family law attorney. read more

Great quality and timely and efficient! I'd recommend him for others interested in his services!

When my separation began, I quickly made a decision to seek out advice of a family law attorney. After a number of consultations with attorneys, I had one more with Angelo Lagorio. I was quickly impressed by Angelo's confidence, clarity of his advice, directness of his inputs and simplicity of his strategy. I walked away from that consult with an understanding of the process that I didn't get from other attorneys with whom I talked. I had one more consult scheduled and decided to cancel that, knowing that Angelo was the right person to represent me and to take on my case. Angelo encouraged me to take time away that I had plans to enjoy. I did that. During that time, I was being constantly engaged by my spouse. I contacted Angelo, to engage his services. He again gave me direct feedback to detach from my spouse and to find a way to enjoy the time away. That was sound advice. Over the next two years and 5 months, Angelo kept me as even keeled as I could be. During the entire time, my spouse and her attorney introduced complexities, resulting in added legal fees and time delays. Angelo stayed the course of the strategy we had discussed in the consult. He effectively managed the complexities the opposing counsel and his client threw at us. The legal fees were not insignificant to me, given that I am disabled and no longer able to work. However, Angelo successfully ensured that I received property and financial settlements that I was due. Overall his upfront fee estimate was within an acceptable range and actual expenses were close to estimate. He told me up front of things that could cause that overall cost to vary. His billing was always representative of work he actually preformed. I was never surprised by a bill. Furthermore, his choice of a forensic CPA was perfect. That expert helped to untangle commingled marital expenses, both pre and post separation. Overall I am grateful for Angelo I am completely satisfied by my decision to select him and with the outcome he achieved. read more

Angelo and his team helped me navigate a stressful situation as smoothly as possible. From initial consult to final resolution, him and his staff were quick to respond and guide me through the processes end to end. He took the time to answer all my questions and was empathetic, yet firm with how to go about the situation. He was able to quote me a fair, flat fee to file all paperwork and take things off my plate as a busy working professional. Would strongly recommend Angelo and team for any legal matter. read more

Angelo helped me with a matter regarding a grant deed for a property that I thought was going to be a giant headache. He did the work on his end, had me sign some documents and notarized, then I mailed them back. He also eased my mind about things that I thought I had to do but didn't have to because I got advice from other people who didn't really know how things worked. I would most likely go to him again for other related legal matters. read more

I can't say enough good things about our decision to hire attorney Angelo J. Lagorio. I was in need of an uncontested legal separation. I knew I needed an attorney. I shopped around, interviewed a couple attorneys, and, in my opinion, they were all too expensive (by thousands of dollars) for a simple uncontested separation. They all said "this is our starting price, but expect additional costs." To me that meant lots more money down the road. I didn't want my attorney to basically have a blank check for an uncontested legal separation. I found Angelo online and he contacted me almost immediately. I liked him right away - he said he'd do it for a very reasonable flat rate. Music to my ears! And he delivered. He responded to texts and emails promptly. He stayed in touch as we progressed along, keeping me updated with our progress. I never had to go to his office, everything done via email, text, or phone. All the legal documents were signed and necessary PDF files were signed via email. His software packages were smooth running and easy to use. If 5 Stars is the highest Angelo J. Lagorio is 5 Stars. Even my soon-to-be x-wife thought he was good. Ralph Garner Brentwood CA read more

I was in a bad situation in my marriage, and left. The next step was divorce. I contacted Angelo and he streamlined the entire process for me. He took care of everything after I filled out the forms.

So grateful for his help throughout this bittersweet time. read more

Angelo handled my divorce this year. It is rare to find a lawyer of Angelo's expertise and integrity. He was very upfront about all the costs and was kind enough to work with me even guiding me in doing some of the work myself where he would just check the final work.

Divorce is a very painful experience but having a knowledgeable, compassionate and honest lawyer helps a lot. Thank you Angelo. read more

I reached out to several attorneys previously and I have got to say that Angelo was the easiest to speak to.

Our family has had a trust setup by Rodriguez Lagorio. The team has been very supportive in helping us understand the process to finally get our will/trust done and getting our financial decisions made for our family when the time comes. If you don't have a good will and trust setup for your family members then you risk having your property go into probate. I have dealt with many lawyers for other situations like worker's comp and can tell you that the process was seamless and easy with Rodriguez Lagorio. I have peace of mind now that this has been taken care of. Highly recommend Rodriguez Lagorio attorney! read more

After a disappointing meeting sometime early this year, I called him to talk about my case, after being referred by a school parent/friend who is going through the same thing. He was very direct, NO BS. He was very encouraging and made me feel empowered after my quick phone call. He could have taken my money but instead he told me not do anything and wait. I haven't had the need and praying it will be peaceful but I owe this man a good review and definitely want to pay it forward and spread the word. I've been referring him since that call. read more

I cannot even begin to explain how amazing Angelo is! I hired Angelo back in 2020 for a custody case, after a friend referred me to him. He was always so knowledgeable, honest and professional. He is completely fair with his hourly rates, billing and retainers. He understood the dynamics of the judge and apposing attorney on my case, is always quick to respond and is on top of his stuff! Over the last 2 years I have never had to follow up with him about anything regarding my case. His dedication to my case ensured my children were safe and cared for. I will forever be grateful to him for that! You know you have the most amazing family lawyer when you are sad that your case is closed and you no longer need him. read more

Losing a child is devastating. Losing your only child is something you will never recover from. When my only child died of a heart attack as a result of COVID, I was lost in grief trying to deal with bills, clearing out his apartment, etc. My son lived in Alameda County and I had to find a lawyer whom I could work with. I found Angelo through the Yelp reviews and contacted him to represent my son and his estate. Angelo was kind, understanding and patient with me. Working with my brother and Angelo, I was able to get through initial days of communications for the start of the probate process. Angelo answered my questions, calmed my fears and reassured me that that everything would work out. It took time, but the process was completed when I received a bill which was addressed by Angelo. The law office sent notices to the possible creditors of my son's estate, but the bill was sent to collections and I asked Angelo if I had to pay it. It turned out I was no longer liable for the bill due to a court filing asking for creditors to respond and they never did respond to the court filing asking for outstanding bills. I recommend this law firm, not only for their expertise in the legal field, but for their compassion and patience with a grieving parent. read more

Angelo gave me the most valuable advice on my difficult situation. His advice covered all the aspects. He was very truthful about that situation so I understood how to make the best decision.

My coworker referred Angelo to me and told me how good he was. Sure enough! Angelo was able to help me with everything that the previous one wasn't capable of. read more

We reached out to Angelo for help in my custody case. Angelo was not only professional, honest, and highly knowledgeable. He always made us feel 100% confident walking into the courtroom or mediator's office and ensuring we were always prepared. We appreciated the upfront honesty, whether it was good news or bad. This case was a long-drawn-out one that took a lot of time and came with much stress. However, Angelo worked through all of it with us and was able to eliminate some of that stress. He is highly organized and levelheaded both in the courtroom and outside of it. The pricing is very fair, and the service overall was five-star. Angelo is a fantastic attorney, and I would continue recommending his services. read more

I was refinancing my home with another family member and was needing some clarity on the verbiage of a Trust, and what was needed from that Trust document for one of the forms from the bank; I was not feeling the most confident in answering the questions on my own, so I reached out to Angelo.
