Angela offers clients strategic, zealous advocacy in commercial litigation matters, with a special focus on construction disputes.
Angela divides her practice between construction and general commercial litigation matters. Her work regularly includes premises liability defense for a national retail chain; property management, commercial evictions, and real estate disputes; and construction defect litigation. She is the firm’s go-to attorney for any eviction case, and she regularly represents owners, contractors, and subcontractors in disputes involving allegations of breach of contract, incomplete work, project delays, and construction defects.
While the majority of Angela’s construction cases center on commercial properties, she also represents homeowners in litigation involving home renovations. Angela is extensively experienced with and well-versed in Wisconsin’s Home Improvements Practices Act, which significantly increases the damages available to the state’s homeowners in lawsuits against contractors. She recently tried a case to verdict with an argument hinging on interpretation of this act, achieving a $1.5 million verdict in favor of the homeowner. Angela also draws on her experience litigating this law to advise contractors and subcontractors on avoiding costly violations.
Known for her combination of zealous, aggressive advocacy and strategy, Angela approaches every piece of a case with the client’s overall needs and strategy in mind. She particularly excels at oral advocacy and thrives in the courtroom, obtaining victories for clients at all levels of litigation, including motion hearings, summary judgment, motions to dismiss, and appeals. Angela also understands how stressful court can be for a client, and she serves as both a guide and an advocate so that clients can focus on their businesses.
Angela also leads Husch Blackwell’s LGBTQ Employee Resource Group, HB Pride, as part of the firm’s diversity and inclusion efforts.
