AMAZING JOB.

Angela is an amazing Attourney and she’s incredibly helpful. I had an unemployment hearing yesterday and even the judge said she was super thorough. I will be hiring Angela for any legal matters (she does more than just unemployment) in the future! Amazing amazing amazing Attourney.

Amazing Unemployment Representation

Angela helped me with my case with unemployment and was very professional and prepared to help me with my hearing. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to get things done!

Outstanding

I am thrilled that I chose Angela as my advocate for my unemployment appeal hearing. Despite short notice, she prepared and counseled me on the process, which gave me the support and confidence I needed. I anticipate a favorable outcome, but either way, Angela helped to make this a positive experienc...e from her solid legal advice, expert preparation and extensive court experience. Angela is professional and knowledgeable — a trusted attorney who provides exacting legal guidance. Thank you again, Angela! P.S. Update: Received decision on ruling today in my favor — and with better than expected winning results!

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.

Thee Best Attorney Around

Mrs. Angela Whitaker was a GOD send to me during my time of need. She was very welcoming to me as a client, thorough in her investigation, and excellent during proceedings. Mrs. Whitaker truly made me feel like I had someone in my corner at a time when I needed it most. Amazing is an understatement i...n regards to what she brings to the table that compliments her years of experience as an attorney. She is definitely someone you want to have in your corner to care about your matters at hand just as much as you do. She is a true blessing that will remain as the first choice for me or anyone I know for any legal issues.
