Construction Litigation

I retained Attorney Whittington to assist me in a pending construction litigation matter. She stepped in, evaluated the case, got it to mediation, and got it resolved. Her billing was fair and she was smart and well respected by the other lawyers. She took my calls when I had questions and even gave ...me her cell phone number in case I needed to reach her after hours. I would highly recommend her for any contract matter, whether in litigation or not. I was so pleased with her work that I have her on retainer to address new matters as they arise in my business.

Estate Planning - Trusts and Updated Will

I hired Angelina Whittington to help me with my estate planning. She created trusts, moved my assets into trusts at my request to protect them, updated my will, and invited me to Thanksgiving with her family. Her rates were less than other lawyers I talked to. I am a senior citizen and could not be ...happier with the services that I received from Angelina Whittington. I have recommended her to everyone.

Criminal Law- Got 120 Felony Charges Dismissed

I was wrongfully charged in a serious case with 120 felonies related to a salvage yard where I worked. The charges were serious, but I was innocent. I met with Attorney Angelina Whittington and she took my case and she believed in me. She aggressively defended me in Court against the charges, and ult...imately, she got the state to dismiss all 120 felony charges. It was a monstrous win! She did a great job and let me have a payment plan. Her fees were reasonable. She saved my life. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a lawyer for anything. She does it all.

Greatest Divorce Lawyer on the Planet

I had significant assets and was in a very contested divorce. I needed a new lawyer because my first lawyer was not aggressive enough to get me through the divorce. I reviewed the case with Angelina Whittington. She took the case and did what it took to get me exactly the deal that I wanted. She even... got my ex wife's lawyer to withdraw from the case over a technicality. She was brilliant. The judge had nothing but praise for her and the way she handled my case. I was out of the marriage in under a year with the assets I wanted to keep still in my name. She did everything right. She billed me monthly. She spent a lot of time on the case, but it required a lot of time and I never got a shocking bill. Her rates were fair. I would recommend her to anyone who has a family matter and wants a great lawyer at a reasonable rate. She got the job done when my last lawyer said there was no way I would ever get everything I was asking for.

Complicated Probate Case with International Assets and Five Siblings

I hired Angelina Whittington to handle a very complicated probate case. I was appointed Personal Representative for my father's estate. My father had real estate in the US and in Canada which she identified and sold for the estate. Angelina Whittington found bank accounts in Switzerland and Lithuania... in my father's name. She quickly had the money transferred from the Swiss Account into the probate account. However, the Lithuanian Bank refused to release the funds, so Angelina got all the required paperwork in order, flew to Lithuania and in three days time got the Lithuanian Bank to release all the money to the probate estate. She coordinated the case with my five brothers and sisters located throughout the United States and did a remarkable job keeping everyone happy and getting the estate closed and the monies distributed. I give her my very highest recommendation for probate matters. She went above and beyond the call of duty on this one and her fee was very reasonable given the work involved on this case.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
