ABOUT

Family law is not just about resolving legal issues. It is about helping people move forward with clarity, stability, and support during some of the most difficult moments in their lives. Angela Forss Schmit approaches her work with that responsibility in mind.

Angela is a family law attorney who brings both practical litigation experience and a thoughtful, steady approach to guiding clients through complex transitions. Her practice focuses on divorce, custody, step-parent adoption, and mediation cases. With prior experience in business and employment litigation within a full-service firm, Angela is well equipped to handle complex divorce cases involving business interests.

Angela is confident in the courtroom and intentional in her preparation. She understands that effective advocacy in family law is not just about legal strategy. It is about earning trust. She works to ensure her clients feel heard and supported while also presenting clear, well-structured solutions to the court. Her approach is grounded in the belief that the impact of family law extends far beyond the courtroom and into the everyday lives of the people involved.

Angela’s commitment to family law has been further shaped by personal experience. Having navigated the legal system from the client’s perspective, she brings a deeper understanding of what clients are facing and the importance of providing clear structure and grounded guidance during uncertain times.

She is also the author of an ongoing personal series, The Space Between Us: Reflections of a Divorce Attorney, Mediator & Mother, where she explores the intersection of professional insight and lived experience. This work reflects her belief that family law sits at the intersection of law and humanity and that the most effective advocacy is rooted in both sound judgment and measured empathy.

Outside of her legal work, Angela enjoys spending time with her children, traveling, and horseback riding. She also supports the High Hopes Foundation that supports the inclusion of children with special needs.
