Long Struggle Takes Mt. Lebanon Mom To Top Of Legal Profession

TV lawyers have it way too easy, family attorney Angela R. Winslow says with a chuckle. For them, law school can be buttoned up in a 2-minute montage, and their cases are wrapped up in an hour, even less with commercials.

"There's so much more work involved, both in the courtroom and in getting there," she said. She would know. Especially the part about getting there.

About two decades ago, Winslow was a single mom with little education and less of a chance at a career in the legal profession. Today, she's a partner in the Downtown law firm where she once answered phones and took memos.

"I've worked hard to be where I am today," said Winslow, 45, of Mt. Lebanon. "When you work for what you get, no one can take it away from you."
