Angela McIlveen

Partner Attorney


After hearing Angela’s life story, some might say the likelihood of her becoming an attorney was near zero. But those people don’t know her. Angela’s drive and determination propelled her through life and law school and it’s still evident today when she argues in court.

​Angela McIlveen grew up in Taylorsville, N.C. She graduated from Lenoir Rhyne University in Hickory, N.C. with a B.A. degree. She attended Case Law School and graduated with her J.D.

Since graduating from law school, Angela has focused her practice solely on issues related to litigation. Angela is experienced in all areas of litigation including discovery, depositions, court motion hearings, mediation, trial, and appeals. She has handled cases in state and federal court. Angela lives in Gastonia, N.C. She is a partner at the McIlveen Family Law Firm. She handles cases in all areas of litigation including insurance defense, workers’ compensation, legal malpractice defense. She also handles cases in family law including divorce, child custody and support, alimony, domestic violence, adoption, separation, and equitable distribution. Angela handles cases in Gastonia, Charlotte, and surrounding cities and counties.

​​While Angela actually enjoys going to trial, she knows that most people don’t. She always works to resolve cases when they can be resolved favorably for her clients. And like Sean, Angela believes in telling you the truth about your case even if it isn’t what you want to hear. After all you aren’t paying for someone to tell you it’s all roses. You want someone that will listen to your situation and tell you what you need to do to make the best decisions.

​When Angela isn’t full speed ahead in the courtroom, she enjoys spending time with her children and her husband, Sean. Curious about her life story? Just ask her.
