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.

Best call I’ve ever made!

Mr. Whitehead and his staff were extremely helpful, and Mr. Whitehead was very knowledgable in both family law and criminal law. He helped me get an expungement of a felony. He showed up to my hearing on time and was very well prepared. He got me through the complex expungement process with no proble...ms, and he did great in court. The judge had been considering denying my application for expungement until Mr. Whitehead spoke at length about my progress and improvements, and he convinced the judge to grant the expungement. Thank you so much!!

"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.
