“What happens in this very courtroom has an impact in all of your lives more than you realize. What happens to people is important. These are decisions that the judge makes each and every day, multiple times a day.
​
I’ve had the distinct pleasure of knowing Angela for a fair number of years now. Angela possesses a sense of fairness, equanimity. She has the ability to listen and a wonderful sense of humor. These are important attributes of a judge.”
