About:

Angela McIlveen is the CEO and Co-Founder of McIlveen Family Law Firm. The first thing you will notice when you meet Angela McIlveen is that she genuinely cares about her clients and the clients of the Firm. Maybe it’s because she remembers going through her parents’ nasty divorce when she was 6 years old. Angela knows that her parents' divorce impacted her life. Angela McIlveen remembers growing up with her dad when kids didn’t grow up with their fathers and she says it definitely shaped her life. In case you are wondering, no her mom wasn’t a bad person. Her dad just had the best attorney in town. She also has the unique perspective of having gone through her own custody trial and having sat in the witness seat in court. She knows how crazy going through a divorce or custody lawsuit can make you, Angela knows how painful it is to have your life torn apart. Angela's colleagues say that she's aggressive. But Angela McIlveen says that she's just passionate about her clients. Whether Angela is in or out of the courtroom, she gives it her all. Since graduating from law school, Angela McIlveen has focused her practice exclusively on litigation including discovery, court motion hearings, deposition, trial, mediation, and appeals. As a partner at the McIlveen Law Firm, Angela McIlveen handles cases in family law including child custody and support, divorce, alimony, adoption, separation, domestic violence, and equitable distribution. The firm has four offices: Charlotte, NC, Gastonia, NC, Raleigh, NC, and Greenville, SC. The firm handles cases in Charlotte, Concord, Gastonia, Hickory, Lenoir, Lincolnton, Mathews, Monroe, Shelby, and Statesville. And the Raleigh office serves clients in Durham, Cary, Raleigh, and surrounding cities. The Greenville office services Greenville, York, Anderson, and surrounding cities. When Angela is not full speed ahead in the courtroom and running a growing law practice, she loves spending time with her family.

"I am beyond thankful for the entire team at McIlveen Family Law Firm. From start to finish, they have been incredibly dedicated, responsive, and patient throughout this lengthy process. Their professionalism and integrity have stood out every step of the way, and I’m so grateful I chose a firm that genuinely cares. A special thank you to Joshua Finney and Robert Dimitrov. Your expertise, guidance, and support helped me achieve everything I hoped for and even more within my child support and child custody case. You both made a difficult journey so much more manageable, and I truly felt heard and supported the entire time. If you're looking for a firm that operates with integrity, compassion, and results, I highly recommend McIlveen Family Law Firm. Thank you again for everything!"

"After the sale of our house, I started to see all the things he could have asked for example.: if we had to lower the price of the house who will take the lost? Should had been the person that was asking to sell the house to get the money, but not it was the other person, he could had save my husband about $33K but not he just let the other person lawyer call the shots NOT A GOOD SERVICES."
