Angelina Pascale

- principal/director -

Angelina Pascale is the Principal and Director of Pascale Legal, a boutique Adelaide law firm providing strategic legal advice and representation in family law, criminal law and estate matters.

Angelina is widely recognised for her ability to cut through complexity and provide clients with clear, practical and strategic advice. She works closely with clients to develop step-by-step plans tailored to their circumstances, with a strong focus on achieving effective outcomes while minimising stress, conflict and unnecessary legal process.

Angelina is admitted to practice in both the Supreme Court of South Australia and the High Court of Australia. She regularly appears as both solicitor and counsel in the District Court, Magistrates Court, and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

She also represents clients in Family Dispute Resolution Conferences (FDRs) convened by the Legal Services Commission of South Australia, as well as in private mediations.

Angelina acts in all aspects of family law, including children’s matters and property settlements, and across summary, minor indictable and major indictable criminal matters. She is known as a calm, persuasive advocate and a skilled negotiator.

Angelina is one of the few accredited Collaborative Lawyers in Adelaide, enabling her to work with specially trained professionals to resolve matters outside of court where appropriate.

She is also an accredited mediator and may be jointly instructed by parties (where she is not acting for either client) to chair and facilitate family law mediations. In this role, Angelina brings a balanced, pragmatic and outcome-focused approach to helping parties reach resolution efficiently and respectfully.

Angelina is highly experienced in Family Dispute Resolution processes and is frequently appointed by the Legal Services Commission of South Australia to represent clients in these matters.

Angelina is one of a limited number of lawyers in South Australia appointed as an Independent Children’s Lawyer by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, representing children in family law proceedings.

As Director of Pascale Legal, Angelina is supported by an experienced team of solicitors and administrative staff. While other solicitors may assist with the conduct of matters, all client files are known to and supervised by Angelina, ensuring consistent oversight, strategic direction and high standards of service.

Angelina’s commitment to quality representation and client care has resulted in strong long-term relationships, with many clients returning for future matters and referring friends, family and colleagues to the firm.
