About Tampa Divorce
Tampa Divorce is a veteran-owned firm that was founded in February 2019 by attorney J. Robert Angstadt, Esquire. Tampa Divorce was founded with a mission to be a firm with a client-first mentality by an attorney who went through a traumatic divorce before becoming a lawyer.
Since February 2019, the Tampa Divorce Team has strived to be the firm for clients who want a divorce lawyer that truly understands what it feels like to go through a family law case: the feeling of being powerless, the uncertainty over your financial future, the fear of a dramatic change, the desire to be with your children, the concern over false accusations, the disbelief when your own children turn against you through parental alienation.
Tampa Divorce has achieved outstanding results for our clients. Our Firm has grown to ensure each client has someone they can reach out to right away. Our team is here to help.
