Helping with a divorce

I like to say that the vibe and the feeling I got from her was all god. I told her about my life and my situation at hand. She listened to me carefully and heard everything I’d said. She had already put me in position to fix my case and get my divorce settled

Wonderful Lawyer

I had the pleasure of hiring Angela Whitaker , and she help me settle my case. She was very nice but stern. I contacted her for a consultation, her phone went to voicemail, but she text me letting me know she was in a meeting and would get back to me. Well she call me right back, very fast.Sh...e's very good at her work and I would refer her to anyone needing a good attorney.

The best lawyer

I had the best experience with Angela! I had an affordable payment arrangement during a hard transition. My divorce was very difficult and thanks to Angela and her team, I was able to afford a lawyer for my case. My divorce was handled efficiently. I 100% recommend her as a lawyer.
