With a sense of humour and no-nonsense approach, Angela Solomons manages to de-mystify the legal issues around buying into a retirement village, noisy neighbours, immigration, divorce, buying a house, surviving a zombie apocolypse, and just about any other situation you can think of.
As Education Co-ordinator with Taranaki Community Law, Angela is passionate about justice, and about real people.
She’s also very entertaining!
