Estate Planning & Elder Care Attorney in Northern Virginia
Angela is a native of Virginia and has been serving the senior population and disabled adults since 1997. A graduate of James Madison University, Angela earned her Bachelor of Social Work with a minor in Gerontology. This passion for working with seniors led Angela to a career working in local assisted living communities in the admissions and marketing departments.
After eight years working in assisted living communities, Angela furthered her education and commitment to working with seniors by obtaining her Juris Doctorate degree with honors in 2009 from Florida Coastal School of Law.
[Angela Griffith] is truly an expert in her field, fully answered all my many questions, guided me through the process flawlessly and basically gave me much needed reassurance from her legal acumen. She always responded to my calls and emails in a very timely manner.
Estate planning is extremely stressful, but knowing Angela was guiding me took away a lot of the stress. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs legal assistance with their estate, will, medicaid or any other matter in this area.
