Attentive and Responsive

I contacted Angela to be my UIA advocate. She was immediately responsive, and explained exactly what was going to happen and what steps I needed to take. I was very relieved after speaking with her. She made me feel like I was in very good hands

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.

Substitute Teacher

I consulted with Angela Whitaker re: a case for unemployment benefits. Angela thoroughly explained to the judge that I was not responsible for leaving my position. I would highly recommend Ms. Whitaker as a reputable attorney!!

Voluntary Quit I Did Not Commit

I consulted with Attorney Angela L. Whitaker-Payton regarding an alleged accusation that I quit my job. Attorney Angela was tenacious to provide me with clarity of my circumstances quickly eliminating All doubts. Attorney Angela’s representation as an advocate is very direct and she prepared me tho...roughly of the prehearing expectations. She makes YOU pay attention to the details, eliminate the static and empower yourself responsibly. The outcome…VICTORY. I highly recommend Attorney Angela L Whitaker-Payton and All is Well!
