Angela Kerslake Law Corporation - New Westminster, British Columbia

Angela helped me when my ex-wife moved and tried to take our kids with her. My relationship with my kids was on the line and I wanted the best lawyer I could find.

I had a fantastic lawyer take me though my separation but she wasn't able to help me with my ex-wife's relocation. She recommended a handful of good local lawyers but none of them were taking new clients. Angela had to travel to be at my trial, but I was very pleased that she had the time to take me on, and I was very well represented at trial.

Angela has over 30 years of experience, she is respected by her peers, and greatly appreciated by the people she has represented. I would recommend Angela to anyone who needs a high caliber lawyer when the stakes are high.

Angela is a wonderful lawyer, and she is an expert in her field. She is very passionate when dealing with her clients’ case and does her best to obtain the best outcome for her clients.
I met Angela in May 2021 when I was having tremendous difficulties during my divorce court case. My ex and his family continually made this case very difficult for me, with all the twists and turns possible during this divorce case. It took almost 5 years to win this battle. I was standing up for my rights, and Angela had my back, and successfully defeated every twist and turn they threw at her!
Every time the other party created a problem; Angela was prepared with all the true facts against them. It was a battle to get what I was fairly entitled to, but Angela won this case with her in-depth experience and knowledge. She succeeded in the Supreme Court, in the Appeal Court, as well as in front of the Registrar at the courthouse in Vancouver.

Thank you, Angela, for your unwavering support! I highly recommend her for any family matter someone may be struggling with, in order to find their voice and achieve justice.

I came to Angela during an incredibly difficult and emotionally complex chapter of my life. The legal challenges were tangled, but the emotional layers were even harder to navigate. I needed someone with clear judgment, experience, and grace under pressure, and found all of that in Angela.

Family law is hard. But dealing with a self-represented opposing party, especially one who thrives on conflict and control, makes it exponentially harder. Angela navigated it all with composure and precision. She was calm, razor-sharp, and deeply respected in the courtroom, but what set her apart was how she handled the emotional dynamics that came with my case.

She also knew how to filter the nasty noise from what was actionable. She never burdened me with the details of the dozens of hostile communications she received, but always ensured I had the information that mattered. And she stayed on point, never allowing herself to be provoked.

Angela’s team showed the same thoughtfulness. They were responsive, grounded, and careful to protect my emotional state, especially during the more aggressive moments during the process.

If you've ever felt intimidated by the idea of taking back your life, or afraid that the system won't understand the nuances of psychological manipulation and emotional control, know this: Angela understands. She sees it. She knows how to expose it. And she knows how to fight for you without letting you be re-traumatized by the process.

I’ll be forever grateful to her and Janice for helping me find both legal clarity and personal peace.

Review posted on behalf of a family member:

I recently worked with Angela Kerslake for my divorce from my ex-common law partner, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. From the start, Angela demonstrated an impressive depth of legal knowledge and a genuine commitment to my case. Her excellence shone particularly through in discovery and mediation.

What impressed me most was her attention to detail, ability to explain complex legal terms in a way that was easy to understand and the dedication to achieving the best possible result. Angela was always prompt in her responses and kept me informed every step of the way.

The support staff was also incredibly professional and helpful, which made the entire process much smoother. I felt well-supported and could lean on them throughout the process.

If you’re in need of legal representation, I highly recommend Angela Kerslake and her team. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Thank you, Angela, for your exceptional service!

I can't say enough good things about Angela - she is an amazing, compassionate lawyer. I would highly recommend Angela to anyone going through a divorce. She was there every step of the way, always giving me support and guidance. In court appearances she was always very professional, respectful and knowledgeable. Angela always replied to my questions immediately (even while out of the country on vacation) and always kept me informed and up to date on what was happening. I found her to always be very organized, prepared and on time for all my appointments. I would like to thank Janice for being an amazing assistant who was always ready to help out and offer kind words and support. After years of delays by the other side, Angela was finally able to secure a fair settlement which allowed me to keep my home, . Thanks to Angela, my family and I can finally move on with our lives. Angela and Janice, I thank you both for everything, especially the support and kindness you gave me over the years.

Found out about Angela through the BC Lawyer referral service and I am happy and consider myself lucky to have been forwarded to her office. She displays this calm and professional demeanor/approach that you would feel very comfortable with discussing all your concerns and issues. She would give a reality check of your current situation and would consider, look and discuss at all angles and possibilities that would affect the outcome of your case. Janice, her secretary, has been very attentive to my inquiries and I feel assured things will get worked on during times that Angela is unavailable. This firm would give you a very detailed summary of cost so you could take account of where your money is going. I could very well say she has vast experience in Family Law and would give a very high recommendation.

I used Angela for my divorce and for custody issues that became ongoing with my son. I was immediately impressed by Angela's knowledge of law and her understanding of my case. I was treated with the utmost respect . My calls were returned promptly and her fees were discussed with total transparency. Supreme Court can be a lonely scary place and with Angela's guidance and advice the out come was better than expected. I have the highest regard for Angela, this lawyer really knows her stuff! Katie is a confident, hard working articling student and a true assist to the team. A special shout out to Janice, her assistant and the rock of the office! Never retire Angela!
