Posted by Michelle | April 19, 2016 | Social Security Disability

Wonderful, knowledgeable disability attorney

After a horrible accident that left me unable to work, I applied for disability. I was denied. I called Whitesell Law Office. That was the best phone call I have ever made. The entire staff is so warm, caring, friendly and helpful. We were able to do all of my paperwork over the phone. They took care... of everything. From getting files from my physicians, to helping me with my insurance company. By the time my date to meet with the judge came, I had moved back home to Indiana. Mr. Whitesell drove to Indiana and continued to handle my case. He didn't have to do that. He could have referred me to a local attorney, but he did not. Thanks to all of his hard work, I was granted my Social Security Disability. I could not have been more pleased with the service I received.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
