About Angela
Angela Landgaard built a legal identity in Fayette County courts. She earned a B.A. in Criminal Justice from The University of Georgia School of Law and went on to receive her J.D. from Atlanta's John Marshall Law School. Those academic steps set the stage for a career centered on probate and court-appointed work.
Early in her career she took on roles that placed her inside the local legal community. She has served as President of the Fayette County Bar Association, a post that involved managing the association's activities and representing the local bar in community discussions. She has also been appointed by the Fayette County Probate Court to act as a co-conservator in guardianship matters, a role that requires day-to-day oversight and collaborative decision-making on behalf of vulnerable adults.
Her courtroom duties have included work as a court-appointed lawyer and as a guardian ad litem for the Fayette County Probate Court. In those capacities she has represented individuals whose interests required an independent legal voice. The assignments often called for investigative work, briefing the court on welfare issues, and making recommendations about guardianship, conservatorship, and related probate questions.
Landgaard practices at Slepian, Schwartz & Landgaard. Her name appears on the firm masthead, and she is regularly involved in probate filings, hearings, and client consultations within the county. Colleagues describe her as steady in court and thorough in preparing cases, traits that align with the procedural demands of probate dockets and the sensitivity required when clients face loss of capacity or contested estate matters.
Outside formal court appointments she has participated in local bar programs and community outreach tied to estate planning and elder law topics. Her leadership role in the Fayette County Bar Association placed her in contact with judges, administrators, and fellow lawyers across practice areas, and it gave her a platform to shape education events and local professional standards.
She continues to practice at Slepian, Schwartz & Landgaard, handling probate and guardianship matters and representing clients in Fayette County Probate Court.
