Very helpful

I called a different attorney of the advocacy list for UIA. When she thought she may have a conflict I was referred to Angela. There was very limited time. She was very straightforward and informative. Answered all my questions. She knew what she was talking about how to prepare me and I feel she... did an excellent job!

Legal Beast

I had a protest for unemployment during the Pandemic and Angela took my case with hours before my phone hearing(thank you slow mail informing of my hearing the night before). I was grateful that she took it without hesitation. During the first hearing(it took 2) she was confident and assertive and di...d not hold back questioning and objecting to the other advocate's performance. She kept on point and kept the hearing on track. On the second hearing, she continued to perform outstandingly and unquestioningly drilled my case to the core of the issue. Don't look further, she has your back. God Bless You Angela.

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.
