Outstanding Legal Advise

I can not say enough good things about Access Legal. From my very first contact with them, I knew I made the right decision. They were quick to answer emails and/or phone calls. They explained the Legal process and what to expect. They calmed fears of impending incarceration and from the very beg...inning said incarceration would not be the outcome. I would highly recommend Attorney Whitehead and Access Legal to anyone who is seeking legal assistance. There is no one I would have rather had in my corner, fighting endlessly for the outcome I was hoping for.

Highly Professional

You should not consider any other legal services except Access Legal. Their professionalism sets the bar for legal services. Their staff is friendly and extremely helpful. They were always available to answer my questions and keep me informed. Bert Whitehead went above and beyond for my case. The ex...tra mile the entire Access Legal staff went lead to the positive outcome in my case.

Posted by Alicia | December 20, 2020 | Child Custody

One of the best legal experiences of my life!

Mr. Whitehead is more then a Lawyer, he is dedicated to you and your case! Mr. Whitehead is a reasonable caring person, that will treat you as if you were one of his friend/ family members! Mr. Whitehead understands that child custody cases can be very stressful and time consuming, he is willing to... spend extra time with you on the phone, over email or in person in order for you to feel confident, less stressed and at peace with what you have to deal with! He has made dealing with my sons father and the courts so easy on me. I will forever be thankful for how he has helped me. He will work with you and make sure you have a clear understanding of the current Michigan Custody Laws, and any and every form that is required to be filled out and filed with the courts! Mr. whitehead will work very hard for you and he will get you what you need, he and his team are well worth every penny ( very affordable).

Thank you, Alicia. It has been a pleasuring working with you, and I really appreciate all of the nice comments you gave for me here, and on facebook. Your son is a real cute little dude! P.s. I assume you meant to give a 5-star review, not a one-star, given your glowing review, but others will see it was an accident. Glad you were pleased with our services! Thank you!

Will and Trust made Easy

I feel the obligation to leave an excellent review for Access Legal Care staff, as I receive an outstanding service from each and every person I encountered. Initially I was under the impression that I can only communicate with them via email or phone. I wasn't comfortable with this process so I re...quested to speak to Mr. Burt Whitehead 1:1. An appointment was set for me to meet with him promptly. I met to Mr. Bert Whitehead and I felt more comfortable to handle the rest of the process, for my will and trust, via online. Access Legal Care staff provided me with excellent service. The staff are courteous, flexible, professional and always prompt in responding to my emails I definitely will refer any friends and family to ask his legal care because they do deliver excellent service and all the areas including their prices.

"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer's contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyer's work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."

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.
