Very knowledgeable, professional yet personable

Takes time to inform client of what to expect during hearing. Always reachable for questions and consulting. So happy to have her representing me. Would definitely use her for the future.

Excellent Attorney

Angela Whitaker was a Godsend. She was very professional and direct. She made sure I had a clear understanding of the proceedings and presented a strong intelligent defense. She's definitely a winner. I can't thank her enough.

Unemployment hearing

Angela was very profession in representing me as an advocate in my unemployment hearing. During our prehearing discussions she explained the process and made sure I knew how to proceed. At the hearing she was very effective in her objections and making sure that the information in the case was pres...ented appropriately and fairly. Angela was very knowledgeable and confident in her representation of my case. I would highly recommend her.

Highly Recommended

Please note that my hearing has not been ruled on, this is a review based on Angela's skills and talent not the result of my case. During our pre-hearing conversations she was able to tell me her recommendation on approach and made sure I fully understood the process. During the hearing she m...ade strong arguments and knew when to object and call for different legal actions. If I win or loss, I know she represented me well and her skills and talent is something I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lawyer.
